The best bet is with eggs, but you can still run into one in the wild.

All 7 km Eggs obtained during the event period will exclusively hatch certain Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, including Budew, Combee, Bronzor, Gible, Riolu, Hippopotas, and Mantyke.

Out of these Pokémon, only two will have a shiny version: Shiny Riolu or a Shiny Hippopotas. Players will only have four days to catch the shiny.

In the same announcement, Niantic Labs revealed Pokémon GO players can catch Tornadus in raids starting Feb. 4, the ability to earn Woobat for the February research breakthrough, and participate in a Valentine's Day event.
