Shiny Locks only began in the Gen V games.

However, before the Gen V Games there were still unobtainable Shiny Pokemon, as a result of being directly distributed from events. These are not technically "Shiny Locked" but I'll list them below;

Gen II
Mew

Gen III
Celebi

Gen IV
Spiky-eared Pichu, Arceus, Celebi

Gen V
Celebi, Arceus, Keldeo, Meloetta

Generation VI
Cosplay Pikachu, Celebi, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Diancie

Gen VII
Cap Pikachu (except Partner Cap), Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Hoopa, Volcanion, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Magearna, Marshadow, Zeraora

Gen VIII
Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus, Kubfu, Urshifu, Zarude, Calyrex, Glastrier, Spectrier, Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, Galarian Moltres.

This also factors in that some Pokemon can only be received in a particular game by trading from a previous game, in which they may have not been available as a Shiny.

The legendary birds are not actually shiny locked in X and Y, but the rest are.
Isn't gyrados shiny locked in HGSS? Correct me if I'm wrong
Gyarados is not shiny locked as the term “shiny locked” means that a Pokémon can’t be encountered shiny, but there is a guaranteed Shiny encounter with Gyarados in G/S/C/HG/SS, as well as their being guaranteed shiny present Axew and Dratini in B2/W2. :P
Oh sorry I misunderstood:)
