Generally, the chance of finding a shiny Pokemon (anywhere, any species) is 1 in over 8000. A method called "chaining" apparently can boost the chances of finding a Shiny Pokemon (only seen in Diamond and Pearl via the Poke-Radar), but the chance is still abysmally low. Other than cheating, there is no sure-fire way to get a shiny.
