The answer to the question Are Shinies visible in Shield? is no, as shiny Pokémon do not have a visual indication when they spawn in the overworld, requiring players to enter a battle to determine if a Pokémon is shiny or not. This means that players will not be able to tell if a Pokémon is shiny just by looking at it in the overworld, unlike in some other Pokémon games where shiny Pokémon may have a distinctive appearance or sparkle.
