Shiny Shadow Pokémon is one of the most sought Pokémon in Pokémon GO. Not only are they Shiny they are also Shadow. You get both aesthetics in one Pokémon. I know this because they are one of the reasons why I battle Grunts and their leaders. Furthermore, they are exceptionally rare. When you find them, cherish them.
Introduced in March 2023, these Pokémon became available as catch rewards after defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts, their Leaders, and during also specific Shadow Raids. The list you will find here contains the Pokémon that can be encountered after defeating either Grunts or their leaders.
It is important to know that these are the currently available Shadow Pokémon held by Team GO Rockets. The specific Pokémon available rotate periodically, I’ll update this list as soon as we get new Shadow Pokémon.

The above list shows the currently available Shadow Pokémon that can be shiny. As stated earlier, these Pokémon are rare. The probability of encountering a Shiny Shadow Pokémon from Grunts and Leaders is 1 in 450. This means, for every Shadow Pokémon you encounter after defeating either a Grunt or their Leader, you have a 1 in 450 chance for that one Pokémon to be Shiny.
Good luck with your hunt!
