Shiny Legendaries

I am pretty new to pokemon and have a question. How is it possible to get a legit shiny legendary if there is only one in the game? I know there a tiny chance of finding just a normal shiny pokemon in the wild, so would you just have to get extremly lucky that one of your legendaries in your game is shiny when you encounter him?

I have heard of people soft resetting for weeks and still not getting shiny legendaries, so just be patient and maybe one day you will get one. Good luck!

I got a shiny Giratina on the first try :p My heart nearly stopped during the battle and once after I caught it, I still can't believe that I have one, and it's my 2nd favorite Pokemon of all time.
 
Sometimes, shiny legends are not as rare as regular pokemon you find in the wild since they're set.

Does the soft re-setting really give you a better chanse of finding a shiny or is it just faster and how do you do it with the DS.

It would take a long time for a shiny legendary, but I find it no point to do that.

Ah, yes. Soft resetting for a shiny legendary. You'd have to be really patient to do it. To soft reset on the DS, press L+R+Start+Select. The overworld sprites do not display shiny colors, however. You actually have to engage the battle to find out.

It's WAY too much work, you have a 1 in over 1000 chance in it (seriously)

SRing is the best way to get a shiny.

Unless of course you like to verse the legendry and if it's not shiny start a new game -_-'

Yeah, you'd have to be extremely patient.

Since it's obviously a 1/8192 chance, which is an extremely low probability ._. but hey some people get lucky xP

They will be hacked due to the fact that Arceus hasn't been released yet. I think people would rather have a legit shiny than a hacked shiny.

I would much rather have a legendary with decent IV'S and Natures.

But stuff like Regigas would be cool if you want it as a shiny.
