Odds can be altered by eating special sandwiches and collecting the Shiny Charm after completing the Pokedex. However, there are some new Shiny Pokemon that will likely become the most sought-after due to their eye-catching color combinations. After all, if you're going to spend hours looking for a different colored Pokemon, it might as well be the best of the bunch.

Updated on September 25, 2023, By Cameron Miller: If everyone were honest, they’d admit that there are never too many shiny Pokemon out there to catch. As you comb through every inch of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’ll want to keep an eye out for these shinies in particular thanks to their fantastic designs and what they’ll bring to your team.

20 Lechonk

Shiny Lechonk in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Lechonk quickly became one of the most popular Gen 9 Pokemon after its reveal. It's a little pig with a name that was immediately beloved on the internet.

Normally a dark brown pig, the Shiny variant is interesting as it keeps a brown spot on its face but the rest of its body pink, resembling a real pig that stuck its head in the mud. A great Shiny Pokemon plays on the original design well, adding to its theme, and Shi🌞ny Hunters will have a field day tracki💦ng it down.

19 Sylveon

Sylveon is a great Fairy-Type form for Eevee, but the design hasn’t had an incredible reception from all Pokemon fans. Those people might want to take a look at the shiny version of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:this newer Eeveelution and rethink that opinion.

Simply swapping the secondary colors around for Sylveon makes it feel like a very different Pokemon. It’s still cute, but something about blue being 🥃more pronounced with pink eyes to accent the design makes it look like this version of Sylveon is set to do a lot more damage.

18 🧜 Iron Valiant

Shiny Iron Valiant summary in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Iron Valiant is already one of the cooler-looking Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, showing a futuristic, ro⛎botic Gallade and Gardevoir awesome combination. The normal coloration is based on normal Gallade and Gardevoir, having a green and white color with pink accents. Shiny Iron Valiant, though, leans more into its futuristic traits rather than its classic ones.

It becomes almost entirely silver while keeping the pink accents on its chest and blades, and it's a visually stunning change without taking away from the initial design. But with it being a Paradox Pokemon, you'll have your work cut out for you if you try hunting down this Shiny.

17 ꦐ Copperajah

Shiny Copperajah In Pokemon Sword & Shield's Pokedex.

While Copperajah does have a simpler shiny appearance than many other Pokemon, the small change that is made gives it a huge visual boost. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Steel-Type Pokemon ha🍌s orange accents lininꦓg its body in its original form, but that changes when it is shiny.

A shiny Copperajah takes on a deeper green color on its skin and its orange accent swaps into a more yellowish-gold. For whatever reason, this shiny version just looks like the way Copperajah was always intended to look, making i🎶t a must-have for shiny hunters.

16 Cetitan

Shiny Cetitan in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Cetitan is a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:monstrous Ice-Type Pokemon that can be hard to track down in the mountains, with its pre-evolved form being much more common. It can hit hard and has massive defense stats, maki💦ng it capable of withstanding numerous blows.

Due to its type, it's almost completely white, not standing out much in the color department. The Shiny form makes a very dark grey its primary color while adding orange accents on its fins, so it almost looks like it's covered in black ice, adding a lot more flair to an already cool-looking Pokemon.

15 Klawf

Shiny Klawf in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Klawf is one of the first new Pokemon you'll encounter in Scarlet and Violet, likely being the first Titan you'll face. It's based on a rock crab and can scale walls and bite back with its huge pincers.

Shiny Klawf changes the theme from a desert crab to a Maryland blue crab, a great example of the shiny adding a noticeable color variation that still makes sense for the Pokemon itself. The color alone is lik🅠ely to get many hunters excited to add this one to their collections.

14 Lyanroc

Shiny Lycanroc engaging in battle in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Lycanroc is already ꧑one of the cooles🐭t-designed Pokemon in the whole series, but when it is shiny, it becomes that much cooler. The base Lycanroc resembles a pretty standard wolf-like creature, but when it is shiny, Lycanroc takes on a blue shade to its fur, resembling more cartoonish depictions of wolves.

A simple change in the color of Lycanroc’s eyes also goes a surprising🍌ly long way. The blue fur adds a lot of personality to Lycanroc, and somehow, the simple change manages to make the creature’s Midnight Form all the more imposing.

13 Scizor

Shiny Scizor Pokemon

Some people might already love the red color of Scizor in its usual form, but the shift to green in its shiny redesign is a thing of beauty. Instead of feeling like a Steel-Type through its design, Scizor feels a lot more bug-oriented when it's fully green.

Matching much closer to its previous evolution as Scyther, Scizor still looks as imposing as ever while still being a Bug-Type. It’s no secret that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:most Bug-Type Pokemon don’t strike fear into anyone, but Scizor might just be able to do🌺 that in both its original and shiny forms.

12 ⛄ 🧔 Toedscruel

Shiny Toedscruel Pokedex entry in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Toedscruel already has a great design, since it's a Tentacruel that is adapted to move around on land instead of swimming through the water. Boasting the Ground and Grass dual-typing, it's easy to see why many trainers brought this walking jellyfish on their journeys in Scarlet and Violet.

The Shiny variant is likely just as eye-catching, if not more. Toedscruel's head becomes black with transparent white gems on either side, while its body and tentacles have a pink-to-purple gradient, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:making it look like a Poison-Type and harkening back to Tentacruel's Water and Poison dual-typing.

11 Rellor

Shiny Rellor engaging in battle in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

Pokemon has been around for decades, so it was only a matter of time before 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Freak created a dung beetle Pokemon. Rellor is a little creature that rolls ♔arouꦐnd a giant ball.

Its normal coloration is what you'd expect — it looks like the bug it's based on while pushing around a giant, brown ball. Its shiny form is where things get interesting, though.

While the bug itself doesn't change all that much, the ball becomes entirely gold, implying that there's some sort of material change. What's more interesting is that the Shiny forms of Rellor, and its evolution, Rabsca, hint that these Pokemon aren't quite what you expect.
