    Whats a Shiny? can some1 please help im new to the forums and the game, ty ^.^
     
    I didn't know either! Unless there's more to it, it's just a Pokemon that is slightly coloured differently than what's normal. I still am unsure why they are so special but I want them too! lol
     
    They are completely normal Pokemon, apart from the sparkle and the colour change. Any Pokemon you meet has a tiny chance of being shiny. The only thing that's special about them is how awesome some look (Black Charizard!) and how stupidly rare they are. I caught a shiny Nidoran and Zubat in the same weekend in like 2000, and have never seen another one since.
     
    Hhhm.... Shinys.... Hhhm.... Yes, I know about them.... They have a shine animation when you send them out.... Myes.... That is it.... And they also seems to have a different color.... I think....
     
    Is it hard to spot a shiny unless you know what colour that Pokemon is SUPPOSED to be? I hardly know what any of these new pokes look like..
     
    Some of the colour changes are very subtle (Shiny Pikachu is a different yellow), some are pretty hard to miss (Red Magikarp vs Gold Magikarp).

    But you would never miss a shiny. There is an animated sparkle and a noise every time they go out to battle. There's also a sparkle somewhere on the status bar.
     
    Myes.... The sparkle was what I was referring to....

    Oh wow, thanks! I hope I can spot and catch one now!
     
    You have a 1 in over 8,000 chance of encountering one... I have only EVER seen a shiny oddish in Sapphire, and I killed it. All my other shinies are form frineds.
     
    They dont only have different colours, i think their stats is quiet better than
    normal pokemons. That's what i heard somewhere
     
    shinies are normal, same stats, same iv's, same moves, same abilites, same natures, they just look differenet, and the odds of seeing one are 1:8192... good luck.. they are denoted by a flash of fire when the appear on 3rd gen, same on 2nd, and i have not seen one on 4th gen
     
    In 4th, they have a ring of stars appear around them and it makes a *ding* sound.
