How rare is shiny Ditto in Pokémon GO?

Players usually have a 1 in 50 chance of getting a shiny Ditto from capturing the possible disguises.

How do you encounter a shiny Ditto?
In the past, players could get a shiny Ditto by participating in a Special Research 🔎 task dubbed the Pokémon Go Kanto Tour. Upon successful completion of the tasks, players would get a shiny Ditto as a reward. 🌟
Today, you can only encounter the shiny Ditto by capturing one of the possible non-shiny Pokémon disguises of the Ditto.
There is, however, no guarantee the Pokémon disguise you capture will be a shiny Ditto. You have to wait for it to transform to know.
Since there is no shortcut to this, you might need to capture as many of these disguises as possible until you get your shiny Ditto.
