Are there any Pokémon that don't have a shiny form?

No, almost every Pokémon has a shiny form, but many are "shiny-locked," meaning you can't get them as shinies through normal gameplay (like story encounters or most events), though they still have a different color scheme; some rare cases, like certain event-exclusive forms (Poke Ball Vivillon) or very old Pokémon without shinies in Gen 1, lack legitimately obtainable shinies, but the general rule is all have one, just not always accessible.
