An '''alternate colored''', or ''shiny'', [[Pokémon]] is one that has a color different from the natural one featured in the [[Pokédex]]. For example, a shiny {{p|Zubat}} would be green instead of blue. Shiny Pokémon are rarer than their normally-colored counterparts, and follow no set pattern in their color change per species. However, all shinies of a species have the same coloration. The probability of getting a shiny in any game is 1/8192. | An '''alternate colored''' (Japanese: 色違い ''iro chigai''), or ''shiny'' (Japanese: 光る ''hikaru''), [[Pokémon]] is one that has a color different from the natural one featured in the [[Pokédex]].

Shiny Pokémon are only in games from [[Generation II]] onwards, though Pokémon originally obtained in a [[Generation I]] game can be shiny if moved elsewhere, if their stats match up. | Shiny Pokémon are only in games from [[Generation II]] onwards, though Pokémon originally obtained in a [[Generation I]] game can be shiny if moved elsewhere, if their stats match up. | ||
