Does shiny special?

No, there's no difference in a shiny pokemon and a non-shiny pokemon other than the color. However, shiny pokemon are very rare (legit ones, at least), and on the newer games (at least D/P/Pt/HG/SS, unsure about R/S/FR/LG/E), it makes a shiny star circle appear when they battle.

And a little star on their stats page.

Of course, the Red Gyrados is an exception to the rarity rule in HG/SS, as he's an event pokemon.
 
What do you think about shiny Pokémon? I think I want more of them.

Is there any special except the different color and rare? Not really. Except maybe the envy of your friends.

Is it more powerful than normal? Nope.
 
Actually, in the original Gold/Silver/Crystal, the 'shinies', save the red Gyarados (I think) were slightly more powerful than their normal conterparts. That was changed in Gen. 3, though.

They're okay and make your friends jealous, but it isn't anything worth SRing over.

Not in the new generations, but not now.

It used to be in the older generations, when they all had equal numbered EV's. Here is a video talking about it and the bug catching contest.

Wha? Have you ever played GSC? Shinies shined in that generation as well. Just look at the red gyarados when you encounter it.
