Can Different Shiny Pokemon of the Same Species be Different Colours

pokemon-series

As it says on Bulbapedia

"Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its Shiny status. A Shiny Charmander, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny Charmeleon and then a Shiny Charizard, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon;"

So those are the questions:

  1. One kind of Pokemon (Example Charmander) can have 2 colors ?
    eg: Charmander is red (normal) and his shiny is yellow can another shiny Charmander be black ?
  2. Can a shiny Charmander (yellow) become a black Charmeleon ?

EDIT:

As said in bulbapedia…

"Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as Glaceon or Pichu, having their Shiny form be only a few shades lighter or darker in color, although a majority of the Pokémon that exhibit this are not in their final form of evolution. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like Caterpie show a dramatic difference."

So my question (as I said) is about this: "many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations". Pokemons CAN be shiny even without change they color like Spiky-eared-Pichu.

What I have found about this was:

  1. The shiny Charmander in Pokemon wiki is Yellow, while the
    Charizard is Black.
  2. In the Anime there is a Yellow Magikarp, and a Red Gyarados, the
    yellow Magikarp appears only in the anime, and it's not a good base of information for the game, but at least give us some extra reference.

So I guess it is YES for question 2.

But in question 1 I'am still not sure. Can i have two shiny Charmanders one yellow and another Black ?

Each unique Pokémon sprite has exactly one normal palette and one shiny palette. However, some Pokémon have more than one possible sprite, due to gender, variants, or alternate formes. Each of those can have a different shiny palette.

For example:

  • Frillish♂ is blue, but Frillish♀ is pink. Shiny Frillish♂ is teal, while shiny Frillish♀ is salmon pink.
  • Basculin can appear as red-striped or blue-striped. Shiny red-striped Basculin has an orange stripe, while shiny blue-striped Basculin has a light blue stripe.
  • Shellos found in west Sinnoh are pink, but Shellos found in east Sinnoh are blue. Shiny Shellos are salmon pink in west Sinnoh, and cyan in east Sinnoh.

Generally speaking, if a Pokémon can be found in multiple different colours, its shinies will have different colours from each other.

Further, some shiny Pokémon's evolved forms have very different colour schemes, even if the original Pokémon all had the same colour.

  • Shiny Charmander and Charmeleon are yellow, but shiny Charizard is black. (A shiny Charmander will always hatch yellow, and when it evolves to Charizard will always turn black.)
  • Shiny Magikarp is gold, but shiny Gyarados is red.
