Question on shiny hunting in Pokémon Shield ?

Question

I have been fairly successful in getting shiny Pokémon via masuda method in Shield but I’m in a way trying it in a way of such that I have not done before...      kinda.

I was checking YouTube recently and found out that the Non Galarian Yamask while holding an everstone bread with a foreign ditto also holding an everstone rather than hatching a Galarian Yamask this enables one to hatch the Non Galarian Yamasks.

Although I’ve masuda hunted before I’ve never had to look up this info before so what I am wondering is the following:

Can Non Galarian Yamask by this shiny hunting method (masuda method) be hatch a shiny pure ghost type non Galarian Yamask (in other words can this by this method be shiny or no?)?

I just wonder as I have seen what shiny non Galarian Yamask & Cofagrigus looks like and am wondering if by this method I can get a shiny of these Pokémon.

So is that a yes or no on that?

when breeding regional variants, whether this is in alola or galar, the baby will be the local variant even if its parent is not. so if you want a regular yanmask, it must hold the everstone. without it, you will only hatch galar yanmask. i don't think you need ditto to have an everstone though, just the fact that it's foreign.
but to actually answer your question, the masuda method should still work when breeding regular yanmask in galar. the yanmask holding the stone ensures that you get yanmask and not galar yanmask, and the ditto being foreign increases the odds of your babies hatching shiny.
