Best Answer
There is no limit to the number of Shiny Pokémon you can find
Shiny Pokémon occur very rarely, but the chance of finding them never drops below the default amount. In Generation 3, there's also no way to increase the chance of finding a shiny Pokémon; therefore, it's a constant 1/8192 chance of any particular Pokémon being shiny. Later Generations have various ways to increase one's chances of finding a shiny Pokémon, and many people have quite a large number of them.
