The chances of catching a shiny anytime, anywhere, is around 1 in a thousand. A neat trick to catch a shiny legendary is to save before the battle and, when the battle is started, turn off your game if it isn't shiny, until it shows up shiny. This doesn't mean you will have to turn your game of 1000 times, though it does take a while. Happy searching! =3

You would need to patiently fish using the Super Rod to get a Shiny Gyarados, for the chances of a Shiny Pokemon appearing is 1/8192. However, the chances of encountering one can be increased by using the Masuda Method. The Masuda Method is where the two parents in the Day Care are from different countries, so the GTS was required back then. The chances of an Egg containing a shiny is now reduced to 1/1638. This method would require training of the new Shiny Magikarp to evolve into a Shiny Gyarados. An easier way is catching the story-line Shiny Gyarados in Pokemon SoulSilver or HeartGold and trading it to Pokemon Pearl.
