'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''shining'') Pokémon. | '''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]]. | In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black. | When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect.
