Shimmering is one of the many ways to transport to wherever the being wants by "shimmering". This power is mostly used by demons such as Belthazor, Sykes, Phoenix witches, and Dumain. ("Black as Cole," "Chris-Crossed," "Forever Charmed")

Shimmering allows demons to travel any where in the world as well to different planes or time-lines, such as a time-loops. This Power seems to be an energy based Teleportation and is close to Smoking but different. (The Good, the Bad and the Cursed) (The Demon Who Came in from the Cold)

It's been shown that demons can be vanquished in mid-shimmer: Phoebe was able to vanquish several demons this way while possesing demonic powers and Piper blew up Past Dumain in mid-shimmer as he tried to escape. It just seems to be a matter of timing more than anything: catching them before they disapear completly.
