Shiny pokemon are extremely rare, there is only about a 2% chance of finding one, they are very valuable among collectors...

A shiny pokemon isnt any better in any battling regard as a regular! It just looks cooler! (usually!) What effects their stats is both their IVs and EVs! The IVs are just generated randomly when you catch a pokemon in the wild! So it does have the chance of having pretty good stats, but nothing a normal pokemon couldnt get!

Haha no! Not at all! It seems like that at first, I know! I hope you get some luck getting some shinies if you havent already! If you like a bit of technical breed, RNG incredibly increases your chances of getting a shiny! Ive used it quite often as of late! It just takes patients... lots, and lots of patients!
