You can encounter a Shiny Nightcap Snorlax in Pokemon GO through the Time Research Tasks. Besides this Pokemon, you will have encounters with:

• Visor Slakoth
• Komala

Out of these monsters, Nightcap Snorlax cannot be found as a wild spawn, making it extremely rare. The Shiny Nightcap Snorlax in Pokemon GO becomes even harder to get, given that you will have one encounter with the monster from the research task.

Usually, increased encounters with a monster increase your probability of getting a Shiny one. So, getting only one encounter with the Pokemon makes it astronomically difficult to get a Shiny Nightcap Snorlax in Pokemon GO.

Hopefully, the boosted Shiny odds of monsters from this Timed Research will make getting a Shiny variant of Nightcap Snorlax easier.
