There is the option of having an encounter with Shiny Venusaur, but this is relatively uncommon and difficult to find. To increase your chances of encountering a Shiny Venusaur, you'll want to make sure to take on as many Mega Venusaur Raid Battles as possible. This will increase your Shiny odds.

You can also stay near to the Raid location where you fought Mega Venusaur, and there is a small chance the Pokemon might appear to you. Remember that Shinies appear at random, so it isn't guaranteed that you'll run into one. As long as you keep battling the boss, you'll get a higher chance of encountering its Shiny form.
