To get your first Shaolong you have to catch it. Once you own one it is still a useful parent: it can produce 69 different Pals, listed further down.
Shaolong spawns male or female with equal (50/50) odds.

Why Shaolong cannot be bred
Palworld normally averages both parents' CombiRank and returns the closest Pal from the 183-entry ordinary pool. Shaolong is deliberately kept out of that pool, and the only special combo attached to it is Shaolong + Shaolong → Shaolong. No averaged pair can land on it, so there is no breeding route into your first one at all.
That rule covers the unique, legendary and raid Pals. The 26 affected Pals are Astralym, Bastigor, Bellanoir Libero, Blazamut Ryu, Cave Bat, Dandilord, Faleris, Frostallion, Green Slime, Grizzbolt, Hartalis, Jetragon, Lyleen, Mimog, Necromus, Neptilius, Orserk, Paladius, Panthalus, Selyne, Shadowbeak, Shaolong, Silvance, Xenogard, Xenolord, Xenovader. All of them have to be caught, beaten as a boss, or obtained from event content rather than hatched.
