How can I tell in battle if a Pokemon is shiny?

Solution 1:

Three things:

• The pokemon will be coloured differently. For some pokemon, this can be a drastic change, while others there can be a very mild difference.

• When the pokemon enters battle, a little sparkling animation will occur, along with a unique sound. Blue stars will come out of the pokemon.

• In the pokemon interface, there will be a red star near the markings to indicate that the pokemon is shiny.

Solution 2:

Shiny Pokémon are characterized by not only the different colors, but also the sparkling animation made when is is first sent out or appears. The odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon are next to nothing, but what's harder to find? Shiny Super-Sized Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist with Insomnia. Also, if you completely fill the Pokédex, you will get the Shiny Charm, which increases the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon.
