Shiny Volcanion possible?

Maybe I misunderstood things, but is shiny Volcanion legal? Likewise for Genesect? I assumed they could be caught as shiny like the legendary in Crown Tundra / Gen 8. But they seemingly won't work for me but I can get the legendary working.

Volcanion and Genesect can not be caught in the wild in any game and only Genesect has its shiny version available from a gen 5 event from Japan.
