How to Get Shiny Rayaquaza on Pokemon Ruby
Shiny Pokémon only appear in one out of every 8,192 Pokémon encounters (including encounters with trained Pokémon). If you’re looking to capture a shiny form of the legendary Pokémon Rayquaza in “Pokémon Ruby Version,” you’ll either need an infinite supply of patience or a GameShark cheat device.

Repeat this process until you encounter a shiny Rayquaza, and then capture it (note that this could take well in excess of 8,000 attempts).
