Actually saw someone claim they got a shiny Koraidon but pretty sure it was a modded game. The legendaries are shiny locked, so don't waste your time trying to get one legit.

Yep, the legendaries in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, like Koraidon and Miraidon, are shiny locked. Which means, no matter how many times you encounter or reset, you won't see them sparkle in their shiny forms. This has been a common practice in recent Pokemon games to maintain the uniqueness of these legendary creatures.

No shiny legendaries for you! Basically, Koraidon and Miraidon are indeed shiny locked. Shiny hunters, better focus on other 'mons!
