Well, i'm curious.
i know they're rare, but what's so special about them?
I recently captured a "shiny" Tentacool in Emerald. I'm not even sure if it is "shiny". It's just purple with green.
So....again.
What makes them so special? Apart from their rarity.

they used to be stronger than normal pokemon, but not anymore.

However you can trade them for some rare pokemon.
