Either stock up on pokeballs, or weaken the Pokémon more before you try to capture them to raise the chance of capture.
Question

How do I get a shiny Heatran?

Community Answer

You have to save right next to the Heatran and battle it. If it's not a shiny, then load the game again and battle it. Just repeat this until you get a shiny Heatran. If it's shiny, it will be a different color palette and will sparkle.
