The first truly recognized Shiny Pokémon in the anime was Ash's Noctowl, a unique, differently colored owl caught in the Johto Journeys series, though it wasn't explicitly called "shiny" in the show; earlier, a pink Butterfree appeared before shinies existed in games, and the famous Red Gyarados was also featured later in the Johto saga, according to these Reddit threads and Yahoo article.
The anime debuted in 1997, one year after the games. By the second generation of games, developers had incorporated Shiny Pokémon - species with an alternate color - with the introduction of the red Gyarados in Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Gold in 1999.
When were Shiny Pokémon first introduced in the Pokémon series? The unique and rare Shiny Pokémon made their first appearance in the Pokémon series in Generation II, specifically in Pokémon Gold and Silver. The inaugural shiny Pokémon was a Red Gyarados.
But the First Shiny Pokemon was in fact Ash's Noctowl. With a Shiny Shuckle following thereafter, and then a Shiny Magneton in the Johto League.
This Noctowl is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon owned by Ash. It is Ash's only Shiny Pokémon.

Ash's Gengar does not match the coloration of other Gengar seen in the anime, being lighter in tone. However, it is not Shiny, Shiny Gengar in the anime are paler in color. It shares this distinction with Ash's Meltan, who's color scheme is similar but not Shiny.
And despite being given the last name "Ketchum" in the dub, Ash's goal is never to catch'em all. Ash has seen all 151 from Kanto, although Mewtwo doesn't seem to officially exist in the anime so it's unclear if Ash would count it as a Kanto 'mon.
Full odds mean that they were caught/encountered without you having any buffs to your shiny rates applied. So, people who reset their starters, they're always full odds. A random shiny you encounter on any normal route *without chaining, where it applies, and without having the shiny charm, is full odds.
Keep in mind that in the 20 years that Ash Ketchum has been catching Pokemon, he has only caught 1 shiny. His Noctowl.
Lysandre is the second person to own a Shiny Gyarados, the first being Lance. Alike Cyrus, Lysandre is the second villainous team leader to die onscreen.
Even though you can hunt for stats that will make a pokemon shiny when you move it to gen 2, shiny pokemon still do not exist in gen 1.
