That depends.Do u mean by using pokeradar or just find it randomly in the wild?

The standard chances of finding a shiny is 1 in 8192. This includes all Pokemon found in the wild, legendaries, starters, Pokemon hatched from eggs and other Pokemon gifted to you in-game.

There are a few things you can do to improve your odds. If you breed two Pokemon from different language versions of the game (for example a Japanese Ditto with an American bulbasaur), the chances of hatching a shiny improve to 1 in 2048. That's still a very slim chance and you'd be spending A LOT of time hatching eggs.

The other way to improve your chances of seeing a shiny is to use the Pokeradar (only in Diamond, Peal and Platinum). Using the radar you can "chain" a Pokemon. The more you chain, the better the chances of seeing a shiny are. If you can chain a Pokemon to 40, your odds of seeing a shiny are 1/200. After this point your odds wont improve any more. There's a lot more information and skills needed to become good at using the pokeradar, too much to be posted here.
