Can Machop be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Machop, the superpower Pokémon from Kanto, can be found in the wild, and indeed has a shiny variant in Pokémon Go.

Machamp is considered an excellent fighting-type Pokémon for battling Team Go Rocket grunts and tackling gyms, making it valuable for trainers.

While the shiny rate for Pokémon is roughly one in 500, there's no confirmed permaboost for Machop, indicating shiny chances are randomized.

Shiny Pokémon catch rates are generally influenced by Niantic during special events, without available consumable items to enhance shiny encounter rates.
