Yes, but they are not the same.

A "shiny" pokemon is a pokemon that's a different color than what it normaly would be. They are found in both pokemon games (example: the red Gyrados when a Gyrados is normally blue) and the T.V. show (example: a pink Butterfree. they are normaly purple).

A holofoil card changes the picture background, but does not necessarily change the color of the pokemon.

Both are considered rare and both are marked with a star. The odds of getting a holofoil card are said to be about 1:3, 1 holofoil per 3 sets of cards. The odds of finding a "shiny" pokemon are 1 in 8,192, but they can be reduced.

I am pretty sure that some of my Pokemon on my diamond were not shiny yet when I put them on My Pokemon Ranch after a while they got the shiny trail which means they are shiny is that possible?

Shiny pokemon are pokemon with different colours. Such as a chancey being orange and things like that. I don't think a shiny trail means its shiny though, as pokemon cant change colours, they're born shiny or they aren't.
