tell me?

Answer 1

There is no difference between a regular Pokémon and a shiny Pokémon other than cosmetic appearance and the value placed on it by players. If this is unsatisfying to you, you could offer it on a trading forum for something really valuable, since a shiny for a legendary or fully competitive Pokémon is usually a fair trade (although comp legendaries and mythicals are a bit too much for just a shiny).
However, as a shinyhunter myself, I feel inclined to warn you against doing this carelessly. Your question description suggests to me that you probably don't quite understand the value people place on shinies, and I have seen very many sad stories of inexperienced players trading away a shiny without knowing how valuable it was and coming to regret it.

Not always. For example, a shiny Gyarados would be a water flying Pokemon, not a normal Pokemon.
