Shiny Metamorph is one of the rarest Pokémon to obtain in Pokemon GO. It cannot be caught in a raid or from an egg, and it never appears in its true form.
The only reliable method: monitoring the List of active costumes and increase the number of catches in the hope of coming across a Chromatic Metamorphosis.
