What's the difference between a regular pokemon and a shiny pokemon?

My freind claims shinies have more power, but I want to ask others to be sure

No A shiny pokemon is all the same to as a regular pokemon. Its stats are exactly the same in every way. The only diffrence is the shiny form is alot more rarer to find so consider yourself very lucky if you find one:)

the differance is superficial it is like a trophy but in the old games they had highier Ivs on average than regular pokemon. Also they are stronger in animie.

My pokemon are all shiny but it have no different except its colour.

Increased trade value, looks are the only difference coming to mind

Ok. The difference between shinies and normal pokemon are that shiny pokemon have a different color sometimes its cool like charizard and sometimes they are*** like crobat or heracross.In older games (i believe in Gen1,2) and the anime they actually were stronger. BUT now they arent. The only plus(+) they have its that they are extremely hard to find, so if you got one you are lucky.

Okay, the difference between the shiny and normal is about the colors. Yeah everybody notice that but its not about the color or its rarity. Shinies has a high chance of having high IVs.
