I've seen 2 (3, actually, if you count trading back and fourth a Snivy and Tepig)
This one uncatchable due to recording reasons.
This one obtained after hatching over 500 eggs using the Masuda Method. It's on my second team that I created not long ago.

Masuda Method
The Masuda Method raises your chances of hatching a Shiny. Basically, finding a wild, or hatching a shiny Pokemon (Not using the method) are 1 in 8192.
To do the Masuda Method, you need to breed two Pokemon from different regions, for example, I breed an English Tepig with a Japanese Ditto. That raises my chances of getting a shiny from 1 in 8192 to 1 in 1365.3. However, the odds of finding a shiny in the 4th (and possibly 1st to 3rd) generations using the Masuda Method are 1 in 2048.
EDIT: There's more info if you look it up at Serebii.net

That's still very low.
Even the Poke Radar is faster and easier. No hassle, no waiting, no surprise (because if it's not a shiny, you won't be sad since you know if it's a shiny or not, unlike the Masuda Method), a higher chance of getting a shiny, and you don't have to take the time to find what you need (in this case, a Pokemon from a foreign game, because not everyone has access to the internet or real life friends that have foreign Pokemon), but everyone who has the Gen IV games has access to the Poke Radar.
Too bad they removed it from the Gen V games.
Is there a good method to get shinies other than the Masuda method in the Gen V games?

Sadly, the Masuda Method is the only "easy" way of obtaining a Shiny on the 5th Gen. I was also told 1 in 1365.3 is a higher chance then finding a shiny using the Poke Radar. Not only am I lucky getting a Shiny Tepig, but I'm also lucky that it's nature lowers Special Attack and raises Special Defence. Totally perfect on my secondary team.
EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention about the 5th Gen Shinies. Once you encounter one, or even obtain one, you can set it as a default image in the Pokedex. Now when I scroll through my Pokedex, I'll be seeing a shiny Tepig instead of a normal one.
