Shiny Arceus is impossible to obtain without participating an event or using a cheating device, for it is shiny-locked. Shiny locking prevents certain Pokemon to have the shiny PID, and a legendary being shiny (like Celebi, Mew, and Keldeo) isn't legal.

Currently, it isn't possible to get a shiny Arceus without going to the Archdjinn of Rings: Hoopa Event. This started on March 7th in Japan.
Before this event Arceus was shiny-locked. All Arceus from the Hall of Origin are illegal (whether they are shiny or not), because the Azure Flute has never been released on an event. Be careful with people on a forum claiming they can offer you a legitimate shiny Arceus. Check the date before trading, so that you can determine if it's legitimate.
Nobody knows when the next Arceus event is but I missed it because I got mine from my friend or you can get a action replay and look for the bad egg code and the egg will hatch into a shiny LV.100 Arceus.
A rare Pokemon you can get by going to an event at places such as Gamestop and Toys R Us. Some examples are Arceus, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Shiny Pichu.
A shiny Arceus does exist in the game's coding however it is not possible to legitimately obtain it since Arceus' event item was never released. Arceus is not the only Legendary that you cannot get as a shiny as most new legendary Pokemon in recent games are coded to never appear as a shiny. Even though they won't appear as a shiny they still have the data for it to prevent glitches in the game's system.
