So Ive just caught myself a Shiny Sandshrew and I would like to evolve it into a Sandslash in Pokémon Sun to register its shiny form in the Pokédex.
But I'm concerned because I don't want a Shiny Alolan Sandslash and I don't know if it will change into its Alolan form when evolving.
So, if I evolved my regular Sandshrew in Sun, Would it become an Alolan Sandslash
No it would just evolve into a regular Sandslash

It's not an alolan sandshrew, so no.
unless you caught it in alola, it won't become an alolan form pokemon. mcs mom's meowth is an example of this

Thank you anons

we don't know that yet.
maybe Alolan Form will need some item it carries to evolve into that Ice Sandslash.
just wait until you have the details and drop Sandshrew into the box until the game releases and guides have been written.

We don't know yet. Just hold onto it, transfer a regular Sandhrew to Sun and evolve it and see what happens.

Pokemon caught or "from" Alola evolve into their Alolan forms.
The entire point of being able to transfer from RBY is so you can get regular Kanto Pokemon in SM.
