Can Poipole be shiny in Pokemon GO?

Poipole cannot be shiny in the game as of writing. Most Pocket Monsters usually come with their shiny variants when they make their debut in this game, but the same does not hold true for Poipole.

This is customary for Ultra Beasts in Pokemon GO, whose shiny versions normally join the fray at a much later time than the regular ones. So, Niantic might add Shiny Poipole to the game later this year.
