Shiny Garchomp can be obtained in a few ways. One of the easiest routes would be to catch a Shiny Gible and then evolve it into a Shiny Garchomp.

You could also get one through trading. If your friend has a Shiny Garchomp, they can trade it with you. However, if a shiny Pokemon is not registered in your PokeDex, the trade can cost up to 1,000,000 Stardust. So, this method would not be economical for you.

Lastly, you can catch a Shiny Garchomp from the upcoming Mega Garchomp raids in GO. One of the main bonuses during the Raid Day is increased chances of encountering a Shiny Garchomp. So, if you participate in a few Mega Garchomp raids, you should get your hands on a Shiny Garchomp.
