Shiny by event
Given out as a shiny in Gen 9 event distributions.
It can't be shiny in any game encounter we list, so a shiny one only comes from event distributions. Unless one is running now, that means trading for one.

Post-story: after the Rayquaza mission, bank 25,000 Hyperspace survey points so Philippe can run a Special Scan, which may open a 5-star distortion holding one of the roaming legendaries (guaranteed after five misses). Unlike the others in this pool it is forced non-shiny.
