in pearl,diamond & platnium,know your pokemons and identify the color change,or look at the pokemon's personal file,and see if there's a mini star.
Shiny Pokemon are random, there is no designated place to find them
they look different
If it hatches as a shiny pokemon, you will be able to tell by looking at it.
The shaking grass will sparkle.
There is none but i don't know how it would help. Mewtwo
To tell a shiny from a normal well... first a shiny will have a sparkle in battle and it is a brighter different colour then the original pokemon Example mew is pink shiny mew is blue.
It is a 1 in every 8 734 Pokemon that is shiny. you can tell because it sparkles and glitters. Eg: A normal Gyarados is blue, but if it is red, and glitters, then it is shiny. When it is in your party, a red star is beside the Pokemon.
no the game can not tell a shiny Pokemon when it is with u only in battle Red Gyrados is red when it walks around with you, but its not exactly a real 'shiny' considering it is always red.
There is no way of telling if a Pokemon in an egg is shiny until it hatches. Sorry.
No, you can't tell the difference between shiny type Pokemon and non shiny types. You just have to rely on hope, or a trainer who didn't use the Action Replay on there version of the game. I was browsing it and i saw a shiny shamen!
The circle around the pokemon will be a gold color instead of white.
I can't tell you the code for the shiny mewtwo because you did not say what game this is for. You can try the Pokemon Modifier with the Shiny code.
