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.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}. | Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix. | To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix. | ||
