How do you catch a shiny Golurk in Pokémon GO?

Since Golurk's Shiny form has already been introduced in the game, players can get ahold of it in any way that Golurk is catchable. Encountering a wild Golurk, hatching one from an egg should that ever be possible, successfully defeating Golurk in a Raid, or encountering one as a Research reward all have the potential to result in a Shiny Pokémon. The same goes for Golurk's pre-evolution, Golett, as well.

Golurk is currently featured in Raid battles as a Three-Star Raid boss as of June 2, 2022, though this is likely to change with future events and Raid rotations. For players facing off against this Pokémon in a Raid battle, using a Raid guide can be helpful. Golurk is a Ground and Ghost-type Pokémon. This means effective counters will have GhostWaterGrassIce, and Dark-type moves. Taking Pokémon like Chandelure, Genger, Mewtwo, or Swampert will result in a high likelihood of success.
