|main=yes

|pkmn=Noctowl

|desc={{AP|Noctowl}} was the very first Shiny Pokémon to appear in the anime. In ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]'', [[Dr. Wiseman]] was trying to capture this {{p|Noctowl}} using traps rather than [[Poké Ball]]s, but each time Noctowl outwitted him and escaped the traps — usually leaving him hypnotized in the process. After {{Ash}} rescued it from {{TRT}}, Ash had {{AP|Pikachu}} battle it and he captured it, adding it to his team.}}

|main=Red Gyarados

|nick=Gyarados

|desc=The [[Red Gyarados]] was first seen in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]''. It was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] plot to induce evolution. The process was successful, but as the evolution was forced, it kept the red coloration it had as a {{p|Magikarp}}. It went on a rampage down a river towards [[Mahogany Town]], but [[Lance]] eventually captured and calmed it.}}

|pkmn=Magneton

|desc={{p|Magneton}} made its sole appearance under [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s ownership in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''. It proved to be very powerful and strategic. Jackson sent it out to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After a long battle, Magneton finished Pikachu off with a Tri Attack, then went on to defeat {{AP|Cyndaquil}} without a problem, before finally falling to {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.

|vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach

|desc={{p|Metagross}} made its sole appearance in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]''. After [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} had disbanded, James went after this Metagross, with the intention of presenting it to the boss and crediting the whole trio, believing the promise of success to be enough to bring Jessie and Meowth back. However, James was unaware that this particular Metagross was notorious for its vicious temperament and its reputation for injuring all challengers. Once Jessie learned that James was going after the Metagross, she and Meowth rushed to his aid. This was well-timed, as James, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} were all tied up by Carnivine's own vines, and about to be finished off, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} came to the rescue, knocking Metagross into a canyon. Ultimately though, Metagross sent Team Rocket blasting off with a powerful Gyro Ball.
