The only difference between a shiny and non-shiny Pokemon is color. A shiny Pokemon is a different color than it usually would be and when you encounter one, at the beginning of the battle stars sparkle around it. There are no difference in the stats, but shiny Pokemon are more rare than regular ones. The chances of finding a shiny Pokemon is 1/8,192.

Also, when you catch one there is a red star on its stats page and the pokedex number shows up in red.
