Unfortunately, Walking Wake is shiny locked, which means that, currently, it is not possible to catch a shiny version of this Paradox Pokémon through legitimate means, despite the models for shiny versions being found in the game’s code. As with most event tera raids in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, players can only obtain the regular version of Walking Wake, but it is expected to appear again in future events, potentially offering a chance to catch its shiny form.
