But until then, your only options are to check your 5-star Tera Gimmighoul Raids and reset your raids until you get one, trade with someone who has one, or join an online raid someone is hosting.

As of right now, the only way to get a shiny Gholdengo is by evolving a shiny Gimmighoul or by trading for one.

I shall update this answer if any more news drops on ways to obtain shiny Gimmighoul and Gholdengo.

EDIT: The Gimmighoul Raid Event has ended. Since Gimmighoul is normally shiny-locked in-game, the only way to get a shiny one is by trading with someone who has one!

EDIT 2!

Gimmighouls are scattered around the map from the moment you start the game,and none of them are allowed to be Shiny whatsoever. It’s possible that Gimmighoul will only be available in his alternate colors through Pokemon Go, the same place in which he made his debut.Gimmighoul is currently shiny-locked in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
