Fortunately, yes, Exeggcute can be shiny in Pokemon GO. So, whilst you're out exploring in Pokemon GO and coming across a shiny Exeggcute is a possibility.

On the other hand, even though shiny Exeggcute is available in Pokemon GO, the Spotlight Hour doesn't increase your likelihood of encountering Egg variant. That's because whilst Spotlight Hours increases your encounter rate of the featured Pokemon, the standard shiny encounter rate of 1-in-500 would remain the same.

So, if you really want a shiny Exeggcute in Pokemon GO, be sure to look out for an Exeggcute Community Day. Not only would this feature the debut of the shiny Version, but the odds of a shiny encounter would be greatly increased as well.

On the other hand, every Exeggcute catch during its featured Spotlight Hour will still reward you with a 2 x XP for catching bonus.

In the meantime, you can check out the comprehensive list put together by Leek Duck containing all other shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO so far.
