Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon that have an unnatural coloration. The coloration can be mild, only a few shades darker or lighter than the original, or drastic. They are not to be confused with [[Boss Pokémon]], which are tinted differently than Shiny Pokémon and cannot be caught. Each Pokémon has a very rare ({{frac|4,096}} by default) chance of being Shiny, and Shiny Pokémon are much sought after for their unique look and rarity.
