Do shiny Pokemon have increased stats?

Question

My friend was new to Pokemon and got his first game as Pokemon X. Shocking.
Anyway he asked me what was so good about shiny Pokemon and tbh, I had no answer.
Do they have better stats or anything or are they just glamorous?

Answer 1

They are just RARE.That's all. They don't have any raised stats!

"It's a shame"

Frogadier gets angry and evolved into Greninja. Greninja used U-turn on 'zoroark guy'!
It's super effective!
'zoroark guy' fainted!
Player beat 'other guy'!
