These will be available on two separate Raids. 

It is important to note that Shiny Falinks will only be available by September 8 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time during its special Raid Day, which kicks off the Max Out event.

On the other hand, players will have more time to find Shiny Zacian and compete in 5-star Raids to obtain the Legendary Pokemon from September 26 to October 4.

Shiny Falinks will no longer have their distinct yellow-gold shell as it will be replaced by a brown shell. Additionally, its red horns are also changing to gold. 

For Shiny Zacian, its blue and pink original colors will change to a lighter shade of blue on its body, and the pink shades are set to be dark blue. 

Pokemon GO Remains a Popular AR Game 

In its eight years of availability on mobile gaming platforms, Pokemon GO was once thought to be a phase, but it has proven to be one of the most popular titles available to fans seeking out real-world adventures. To date, there are still a lot of new experiences available on the renowned AR game with massive events and content updates made available to its user base.

The team at Niantic Labs and The Pokemon Company have also spiced things up in their recent updates, particularly in bringing back fan-favorite events from the past seasons. Earlier this year, it reintroduced the iconic Bug Out event, which brought an abundance of Bug-type Pokemon up for grabs in the wild, as well as seeing various shinies appear in raids. 

Additionally, the AR title has already delivered all the generations of Pokemon in the game, and so far it has nine with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Paldea region.
