How to tell if a poke is shiny?

Hello, I just got done doing the first gym.. I encountered this: 

I looked at other pics and don't see a reference if this is a shiny / everyone gets one or was I just lucky?..

That star on the lefthand side of the window indicates it's shiny, yes. (As well as the alternate colour pallette) 

It's just luck so congrats! though for reference, the shiny chance in Reborn is significantly higher than the official games (about 1%) so you're bound to get a few as you play. look out for them!
