Well, I'm not entirely sure what the exact odds for getting a shiny Pokemon is, but from what I recall, it was 1 in 8192. And even if you spent months trying to get it, you might not get it. If you really want that lotad though your best bet is through chaining with a pokeradar in Pokemon pearl, diamond or platinum with sapphire plugged in. Or through the Masuda method.

I don't really think you can. The thing is, in Sapphire you can catch Lotad but not Seedot and in Ruby you can catch Seedot but not Lotad. However in Emerald, you can catch both. So You'd have to trade from a Sapphire or Emerald. Lotad can be found on route 114 on Pokemon RUBY!
the lotad family: Ludicolo, Lombre, or Lotad. They are water/grass types
