You can use soft reset to keep trying until the Pokemon is a shiny. pressing L+R+Sel+Start will reset the DS. There is a 1 in 8192 chance that a wild Pokemon will be shiny.
For shiny legendary Pokemon or similar, you can save just before you start the battle. You can soft reset until you get a shiny legendary. (which can literally take thousands of tries)
For shiny starter Pokemon, if you save just before you enter the room where you pick your first Pokemon, you can see their picture (if they are shiny the picture will look different). This is a 3 in 8192 chance of one of them being shiny (still very low)

Can saving mess up soft resetting in Pokemon after an encounter with a non-shiny legendary?
If you saved before encountering a Legendary, you can soft reset to encounter it again until you find the right one you want, but saving after catching or fainting a Legendary, soft resetting can't bring the Legendary back. It won't mess up the soft reset, but it can ruin the chances of finding a shiny Legendary if you already saved after encountering it.
