Is IV distribution uniform?

I thought IV distribution is normal distribution. For example, Pokemon from an egg or a raid is guaranteed to have >=10 for each stat. That means there're only 6*6*6=216 cases. But apparently 100% IV odd is lower than 1/216... or is it?
Is there any statistics for this?
I'm also curious about distribution from field Pokemons and from Pokemon trade.

The odds over a large sample (several hundreds of thousands) curve as expected

Just like TheClurachan said, over larger sample sizes you'll see it resemble the normal distribution more and more. Never trust what you observe from small sample sizes.

All IV distributions are normal distributed. Raid/egg/research is 1/216, non-weatherboosted wild is 1/4096, weatherboosted wild is 1/1331 and trading depends on friendship level, with BF it should be 1/1000.

I'm sorry, but normal distribution is not uniform distribution, so if IV distribution follows normal it cannot be 1/216. I think you meant uniform.
