This is a list of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime.
Pokémon with a different color scheme have appeared in the anime even before the games, with a pink Butterfree being one of the first to appear in Bye Bye Butterfree. Many alternately colored Pokémon appear in the Orange Islands saga due to the setting's tropical climate. Many of these Pokémon have different color palettes than the palette for Shiny Pokémon of that species that were introduced in Gold and Silver. After the games' release, Pokémon with the regular Shiny palette began to make appearances in the anime during the Johto saga.
List of Pokémon
Shiny Pokémon
 | Shuckle  | |
| In A Better Pill to Swallow, Old Man Shuckle sought out this Shuckle for its ability to create a special juice that was necessary for a special medicine to ensure Pokémon obedience. However, Team Rocket got hold of the Shuckle and drank its juice pure, which had the effect of making all nearby Pokémon obsessed with them. Old Man Shuckle was able to cure this by throwing a powder at them that apparently acted as an antidote. None of Shuckle's moves are known. | ||

| Donphan made her appearance in Date Expectations, which took place during the Donphan mating season.

 | Metagross | |
| Metagross made its sole appearance in Noodles! Roamin' Off!. After Jessie, James, and Meowth had disbanded, James went after this Metagross, with the intention of presenting it to the boss and crediting the whole trio, believing the promise of success to be enough to bring Jessie and Meowth back. However, James was unaware that this particular Metagross was notorious for its vicious temperament and its reputation for injuring all challengers. Once Jessie learned that James was going after the Metagross, she and Meowth rushed to his aid. This was well-timed, as James, Mime Jr., and Carnivine were all tied up by Carnivine's own vines, and about to be finished off, Seviper and Yanmega came to the rescue, knocking Metagross into a canyon. Ultimately though, Metagross sent Team Rocket blasting off with a powerful Gyro Ball. Metagross's known moves are Psychic, Hyper Beam, Magnet Rise, and Gyro Ball. | ||

Meloetta tried to calm them with her voice, which didn't seem to have any effect on the rampaging Onix.
