How to Get
Shiny Gimmighoul
and Gholdengo in Pokemon GO
In the mainline games (Pokemon Scarlet & Violet), Shiny Gimmighoul could only be obtained during special 5-star Tera Raid events. The shiny odds for these raids were slightly better than the standard 1 in 4,096, but still extremely low (about 1 in 4,130). No items or methods (like the Shiny Charm or sandwiches) could boost these odds.
After catching a shiny Gimmighoul in Scarlet & Violet, you could evolve it into a shiny Gholdengo by collecting 999 Gimmighoul Coins and leveling it up.
However, you will not have to go through so much pain in Pokemon GO as the odds will not be so atrocious. As mentioned above

Is Shiny Gimmighoul Worth It In Pokemon GO?
- Collector Value: Shiny Gimmighoul and Gholdengo are expected to be extremely rare and highly coveted by collectors, especially upon their debut.
- Competitive Value: Gholdengo is a unique Ghost/Steel type. While not a top-tier raid attacker, it has niche value in Master League PvP due to its typing and coverage, though it suffers from low bulk and expensive charge moves.
- Shiny Value: As with all debut shinies, the first wave will be the most valuable for both collection and trading purposes.
