A couple of months again, we lined among the worst Shiny Pokemon of all time. More often than not, they’re thought-about poor as a result of they’re barely totally different from the unique. However we solely listed about 20 Shiny Pokemon there, and right now we’ve obtained a contemporary batch of much more horrible Shiny Pokemon. This can be a subjective listing, after all, however we’ll attempt to hold it as goal as potential – particularly in circumstances the place the Shiny type seems virtually equivalent to the unique.
Extra of the worst Shiny Pokemon of all time
Poliwag
Shiny Poliwag’s actual colours change all through every technology, however in Scarlet and Violet, Shiny Poliwag is one micro-shade of a lighter blue coloration. Pokemon HOME’s render has Shiny Poliwag look a lot lighter than the unique, however the precise Shiny Poliwag that seems in-game is barely distinguishable from its normal colours. Solely the sharpest of eyes will discover if a wild Poliwag is Shiny or not!
Slowpoke
That is one other Shiny that’s barely noticeable in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. In comparison with the unique, Slowpoke is a shade of pink lighter. But when a wild Shiny Slowpoke isn’t in a bunch, it’s robust to inform if it’s really Shiny until you encounter it. Plus, the sport’s lighting can faux you out generally and make a standard Slowpoke look Shiny.
Dodrio
The primary Shiny on our listing that isn’t near the unique colours is Dodrio. For some cause, it takes on a sickly inexperienced coloration that’s frequent in Kanto Shinies. However it seems fairly unhealthy on Dodrio – the colour could be very unnaturally brilliant, which helps it stick out. However not essentially in a great way.
Goldeen
Goldeen isn’t a Pokemon that many followers care about within the modern-day. Which is unusual, as a result of The Pokemon Firm has given most Kanto Pokemon loads of love – however not this one. The Shiny is extra orange than the unique, so it’s noticeable. However it’s not sufficient of a change to warrant Shiny searching such a plain Pokemon.
Tauros
Paldean Tauros made our earlier listing, however this time we’re speaking concerning the Kantonian Tauros. Very similar to Dodrio, it’s a sickly inexperienced coloration. Which doesn’t make a ton of sense for a bull – at the very least for Shiny Paldean Tauros, it is smart that a few of them would have their fur colours swapped. However Tauros simply turns into this brilliant highlighter yellow-green coloration, and it’s utterly unfitting. However it’s at the very least noticeable!
Hoenn Water-types
These Shiny Pokemon aren’t unhealthy on their very own, however there’s simply too lots of them! The Hoenn area has loads of Water-type Pokemon, and many extra that flip purple when Shiny: Mudkip, Marshtomp, Swampert, Sharpedo, Wailmer, Wailord, Feebas, Spheal, Sealeo, Walrein, and Kyogre. That’s far too many! Carvanha’s Shiny type is inexperienced and teal, and whereas these colours wouldn’t be the very best decide for Sharpedo, they’d at the very least make it stand out.
Plusle
If you happen to’re making an attempt to hunt this in Scarlet or Violet, good luck! It’s virtually indistinguishable from the unique because of Chargestone Cavern’s lighting. Minun’s Shiny type is at the very least inexperienced in comparison with the usual blue, however Plusle is only a deeper crimson coloration. It’s barely any totally different!
Burmy and Wormadam
Whereas Mothim has a surprisingly nice Shiny, these two barely change coloration in comparison with their unique variations. Their cloaks don’t change coloration, however their faces do develop into a barely brighter shade of blue. Apart from hatching Eggs, the one approach to get hold of Shiny Burmy or Wormadam is by knocking them out of bushes. Not an amazing Shiny, given the hassle it’s good to put in to get them!
West Sea Gastrodon
That is the pink one, to be clear. For this Shiny, the pink coloration turns into washed-out and the brown turns into an odd yellow-ish inexperienced coloration. It’s noticeably totally different than the unique, however the coloration mixture simply isn’t very pleasing to take a look at.
Togekiss
Togetic was featured on our earlier listing, and now Togetic is featured on this one. It’s one other a kind of Pokemon the place it’s technically noticeably totally different from the unique. Moderately than a blue-ish white, Togekiss’s Shiny type turns into an eggshell white with inverted crimson and blue triangles. However it’s nonetheless not ok — a considerably totally different coloration scheme would’ve been a a lot better alternative.
Leafeon
It appears apparent to make Leafeon’s Shiny type based mostly on autumn leaves, however that’s not the case right here. As a substitute, it’s based mostly on… barely darker-colored leaves?? It’s noticeably totally different, but it surely’s laughably poor. Such a disgrace, too, on condition that Shiny Umbreon and Shiny Sylveon are among the many finest Shiny designs on the market. Particularly the previous.
Dusknoir
Shiny Duskull and Dusclops are each deep crimson. You’d count on Dusknoir to be crimson as properly, however as an alternative it takes on this dark-blue coloration scheme that isn’t tremendous totally different from the unique. It’s obtained no cohesion with the remainder of its evolutionary line and stands out from them in a foul manner.
Tranquill
Type of in the identical boat as Dusknoir, Tranquill is a very totally different coloration than the remainder of its evolutionary family members. Pidove is usually the identical, however with a blue tint. Unfezant has extra brown colours and a purple masks, whereas Tranquill is totally inexperienced for causes unknown.
Tynamo
Eelektrik and Eelektross have respectable Shiny designs, however not Tynamo. Its shade of white adjustments slightly bit, and the little yellow line on its facet turns orange. If you happen to’re searching this Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, there’s virtually no manner you possibly can discover if it’s Shiny within the overworld on account of how small it’s.
Mega Latias and Latios
These are arguably among the weakest Mega Evolution designs within the collection as-is. In the event that they have been coloured like Latias and Latios, it will work – however their normal kinds make them each purple for some cause, which makes Mega Latias and Mega Latios look virtually equivalent. Perhaps that was the purpose, but it surely winds up eradicating their individuality. Their Shiny kinds flip them each right into a sickly inexperienced coloration, which is totally totally different from their normal Shiny colours. If Shiny Mega Latias have been yellow and white and Shiny Mega Latios have been teal and white, that’d be a distinct story.
Solgaleo
This one is unquestionably a sizzling take! For its Shiny type, Solgaleo trades in its white for a deep crimson, which makes it appear to be it’s obtained unhealthy sunburn. Lunala has the identical coloration scheme, however this thematically works for it – it makes it appear to be a blood moon. That’s not true for Solgaleo, although, and it will’ve been good to see it with possibly some blue Shiny colours to go towards Lunala’s.
Gholdengo
Gholdengo is likely one of the most tough Pokemon to get in Scarlet and Violet. Catching a Gimmighoul is pretty simple, however amassing the 999 Gimmighoul Cash it must evolve actually isn’t! After which if you do evolve it, it seems nearly equivalent – besides the golden bands on its physique are silver as an alternative of gold. It’d be a lot cooler if Gholdengo’s total physique turned silver as an alternative, and even bronze. You may say the Shiny is predicated on idiot’s gold or one thing, however a extra noticeable coloration palette would’ve made this a very good one as an alternative of a foul one.
