Really its mostly Gen 1/2 pokemon that have insanely lovely shiny sprites. Every other one is lime green or a shade darker (look up Pikachu's for the most :effort: thing)

Later gens are not immune by any means though. Shiny Garchomp for instance.

They do make up for it by making their Mega evolutions have different colorations.

Shiny Mega Garchomp is still gross-looking though.

So many shinys look dumb as hell. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that I feel looks better than the original is shiny Umbreon and the only reason I like that one is cause it reminds me of my dog when she's wearing a blue collar.

I was breeding Eevee's this past weekend for a Vaporeon and thought I might want to try for a shiny cause why not, then I looked it up and it sort of looked puke-colored.

When I was 12 I read a fanfic site that had Pikachu be a part dark type (before dark was introduced, gen 1) and I think the opening was like Ash taking a scyther's arm and cutting it off and impaling the scyther with it. Pretty sure Ash had a katana also. I remember the general consensus among like, 13 year olds was that pokemon needed to "Grow up" which is ironic because I'm almost 30 and most of the charm at this point is how it never did

idk ever since ruby/sapphire the team goals have basically been "destroy the world" and while yeah i was being hyperbolic saying it was dark and edgy i am kinda tired of it, i hope team skull is just a gang like a punk team rocket

I wish I knew AS didn't have koffing, because I would really like to try chaining for a shiny koffing. The pink smoke is so cute!

I was referring to vaporeon, sorry.

When I was young I ate a whole bag of swedish fish and vomited all over the place and it looked the same color as shiny vaporeon, not a general sentiment since puke can be many color(ed).

Yes, which is why it was the first and only shiny I intentionally MMed. This was before bank, so I didn't have a shiny charm. It took about a month, and it was a long time before Hyper Voice was available to Sylveon, but it was worth it.

Since then I don't specifically try to breed shinies, but whenever I breed I try to MM it just in case, and occasionally I'll get one. Last night I hatched a shiny Riolu... with terrible stats, so I guess I'll save it for sun/moon. Now I need to come up with a nickname for it. Hmmmm.

I personally prefer EVA-01 to EVA-02, but that is a good reason to prefer the shiny form.

Shiny Genesect is just Char's Custom Genesect, even down to the whole 3x as fast/Extremespeed.

What I'm saying is it's a reference to a good anime, not the bad anime you think.

it would only be bad if genesect mega evolved into a form with four arms

anyway genesect is cool, i hope they do more distros of it, as it is my favorite random gen5 legendary that exists for seemingly no reason

also meloetta but she's not good for battling, I have spent nonzero effort on making meloetta work.
