 The term "Shiny Pokémon" was created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the games. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]]. The term Shiny Pokémon was first used in-game in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
-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|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, having their Shiny form be only a few shades lighter or darker in color, although a majority of the Pokémon that exhibit this are not in their final form of evolution. 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. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar alternate colorations, even if their standard colorations remain consistent; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but an alternate colored Ponyta has blue flames, while an alternate colored Rapidash has gray flames (with this being the opposite in [[Generation II]]). The opposite can also be true, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.
 [[Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.
