Answer 1

shiny pokemon are EXTREMLY rare ( you have a 1/8000 chance of finding a shiny ) any pokemon can be shiny. in diamond and pearl if you use the pokeradar and the grass sparkles, it is a shiny. another way to get shinies is by breeding. i dont mean breeding a shiny with a shiny will not result in a shiny, the statistics are still the same. but i breed a snorlax with a ditto and i got a shiny munchlax.

Answer 2

you have a certain chance on finding a wild pokemon that is a different color they usually have wondergaurd it makes it so that the pokemon is only affected by moves that are super effective .
if you have a sableye or Spiritomb which have no weaknesses with wondergaurd it will be undefeatable except for confusion, and poison

Answer 3

different color pokemon. Like the red gyarados you can catch in silver/gold.
