Shiny's are VERY rare, I have all the gba games, fr/lg r/s/e/ and d/p/pl
I have only encounter one shiny in all my years of playing and that was bellsprout on my lg game, and thank goodness I had the volume up just enough to hear it, also when I 1st stated playing and didn't know about shiny's I ran into a shiny groudon and turned my game off cause I didn't know what it was!!

I've played my Crystal file for... *checks timer* 192 hours and 27 minutes, and found one shiny Pokemon aside from Gyarados, a Golbat.

All I have to say is, if you don't cheat, all you have left to turn to is dumb luck.

In Emerald, I have a shiny Numel.

In Crystal, I have a shiny Pidgeotto.

I found them both by luck.

I only found one shiny pokemon in the 2nd generation. It was a poliwag!
It was too bad that the colour change was only minor, but it was nice to have.
As for your question: you're going to have to search for a while. Unless you use AR, you'll have to look out for one for a long time.

therefore a shiny pokemon will have rather high ivs
Actually, shiny pokemon, and I'm not sure if this is a myth or not, have generally lower IVs than their regularly-colored counterparts. And the IVs you mentioned are rather on the poor end, as the maximum is 31. The chances of finding a shiny are 1:8192 (I looked it up).
Will NOT be here next week.

If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny
therefore a shiny pokemon will have rather high ivs
i'm almost positive that's not true. In g/s/c if you found a shiny, it had high ivs where as in the new gens they have random ivs. the ivs you listed aren't high at all I believe they were still out of 31 in the metal gen.

EDIT: you say the max is 15? then that means it's diff than the new gens correct?

No, he’s right. Alternate‐colored Pokémon in GSC have IVs of 10 for every stat except Attack. IVs are counted from 0 to 15 in all GB/GBC games as well. So shinies actually have fairly mediocre stats in GSC—for instance, any hatchling from Crystal’s Odd Egg that is shiny has IVs of 0/10/10/10 (meaning Tyrogue is one of the worst choices).

The Odd Egg you get at the Daycare has a 50% chance of being an alternate colour Pokémon, if I recall correctly, so for so many to have not seen one other than the red Gyarados is surprising.
The odds are 50% in the Japanese version, but 12.5% in the English version.

Really rare for a shiny to appear in the Jhoto games.

I got EXTREMELY lucky when the egg that the day care man gives you the first time you talk to him hatched into a shiny Igglybuff for me. :D

So you can save before you get the egg, and restart every time it hatches and isn't shiny?
Yes, what you described will work.
