Catching a shiny Pikachu is also possible but it is very rare to encounter one. Just like any other shiny variants of Pokemon, there is no single way to obtain them. The best way is to use incense as it increases the chances to find a shiny Pokemon. It is not necessary that one would find Raichu right away as incense can attract almost any Pokemon. To increase the chances for finding Electric-type Pokemon like Raichu, one can go to locations like Power Plants etc and use incense there. Here are the stats of this Pokemon upon catching:
