Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Shining Pokémon

Shining Pokemon are Pokemon with unusual coloring. In the video games, there are only one color of each shining Pokemon.Shining Pokemon are an extremely rare occurance, as there is only a 1 in 8192 chance of encountering one in the wild. Pokemon anywhere can be shiny. It could be your starter, Wally's Ralts, or it may belong to a trainer. Another tell-tale sign of being shiny is when you enter battle with one; a few stars will swirl around the Pokemon, making a twinkling sound. Also, if you look at their stats, the Pokemon's sprite's background is white, not the usual grey, and its Pokedex no. is golden. Rumors that shining Pokemon are stronger then normal Pokemon, or that shinings have a higher chance of having a shining offspring, are no longer true.
