    You have to be very lucky.But what I do is not try to think about them or try to find them,but to find me.

    1/8000 something are just the chances, not the amount of Pokemon you run into. And I doubt the chances matter much since they're obviously very low.

    There is no specific place to find a shiny. Any Pokemon you run into at any moment at any location can be shiny.

    I just restarted my FR after about 250 hours, never even seen a shiny anything. I haven't even seen one on my Ruby which has upwards of 600 hours on it. :knockedou

    The odds are Very rare indeed, it will take you 65 hours of battling assuming you can do 2 battles every minute of those 65 hours...

    If you've never seen a pokemon before and aren't sure if it's shiny, check for a ding and 2 stars that flash around the pokemon when it first comes out. This denotes a shiny. Some shinys are almost the same color as their normal counterparts, so the stars and sound are a givaway. In my entire pokemon playing time, I've only encountered 3 shinys, 1 in crystal (can't remember which, but not the red garados), a Zigzagoon in Saphire and some pokemon owned by a trainer in LG (waaaaaah). As stated below, it's not a matter of time, but a matter of luck. You might even run into 5 in a row if you are very very lucky.

    Keep playing, and you might see one. People make fun of gamblers, but you can win only if you play the game, lol.
