Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. | Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much.
