Research Tasks: Shiny Hisuian Sneasel
Players can encounter Shiny Hisuian Sneasel through Research tasks. The Along the Routes 2023 event offers different Research stories, and each offers encounters with Hisuian Sneasel with the possibility of it being a Shiny. Several Pokemon GO items are also set as rewards for completing the Research quests.
The Pokemon GO Along the Routes 2023 event has 3 Research quests: a Field Research quest, a Special Research story, and a Timed Research quest. Each of these Research has multiple tasks, with some offering a chance to encounter Shiny Hisuian Sneasel.
Completing the Field Research task of trading a Pokemon regards Hisuian Sneasel encounter with a Shiny possibility. The task from A Route to New Friendships Special Research story of 3 times exchanging a Gift with Mateo at a Route endpoint rewards a Hisuian Sneasel encounter with a Shiny possibility. Two Hisuian Sneasel encounters are offered in the Along the Routes Timed Research quest; exploring 7 KM and completing the entire Timed Research may reward a Shiny Hisuian Sneasel encounter.
7 KM Eggs: Shiny Hisuian Sneasel

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Sneasler
While players can get a Shiny Hisuian Sneasel through Research quests and 7 KM Eggs, one can only get a Shiny Sneasler through evolution. Pokemon GO trainers must first catch and evolve a Shiny Hisuian Sneasel to get a Shiny Sneasler. Evolving a Shiny Hisuian Sneasel into a Shiny Sneasler is a lengthy process; players first must collect 100 Candy. Once the amount of Candy is ready, one must walk 7 KM with its evolutionary line as their Buddy Pokemon. The most important thing to note is that players should initiate the evolution only during the daytime.
