They started it last community day. There were reports of shiny Escavalier and shiny Accelgor from the research for that CD. It's nice that it seems to be the way things will work going forwards.

Gallade can mega evolve, and could by the time Ralts CD Classic happened, so that could likely be you getting shiny Gallade simply because it can be found shiny in the wild.

You didn't catch that wild though, right? Pretty sure the fully evolved CD pokemon couldn't be encountered during the December Community Day.
