The world of Pokemon is home to hundreds of incredible and mysteri🦋ous creatures. A neat thing about them is that each one has a special shiny version which happens to be a different colored individual who sparkles a bit every time they are released from their PokeBall.
You would assume that each of these special shiny versions are a completely different color or something that leaves a mark, but that's not the case for every Pokemon. Let's now take a look at and rank the worst shiny Pokemon in existence.
Updated April 23, 2022, by Jerrad Wyche: With the ninth generation of Pokemon right around the corner via the upcoming release of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet in late 2022, it's safe to say that fans are excited about all of the new things coming to the series. The starter Pokemon's base forms have been revealed, but it's unclear what they will evolve into, or what their shiny forms will look like. Since the proper introduction of shiny Pokemon variants, it's been one of the more fascinating reveals when it comes to the series adding more than a handful of new creatures to the ever-growing roster of pocket monsters.
20 Blissey
A common design choice with some shiny forms is for the 🍰color of said Pokemon to either become more or less vibrant. This is the case for Blissey and is annoying considering its prior form named Chansey has a more drastic change in appearance by comparison.
That being said, the move from one shade of pink to another is also what we see when looking at Blissey's base form named Happiney.
If they really wanted to keep the main pinks of the design they could have changed the accenting white parts in order to make the shiny form of Blisse🍌y dynamic in some 🧜capacity. Instead, they settled for making one of the worst shiny Pokemon in existence.
19 Munchlax
This entry could honestly be for either Munchlax or its final form Snorlax as they both suffer from the same issue when looking at the shiny versions of both of them. Naturally, these rotund lovable souls sport black fur with accenting patches of beige in various spots. If you happen to come across a shiny Munchla𒈔x you might be confused and assume your eyes or the lighting in your lo🎉cation is playing tricks on you.
The black fur it is known for is instead a rich navy blue that feels more like a low-quality black color you'd find on an internet video due to compression. Like with all of the other shiny forms on this list, the variation is so subtle it makes it hard to justify going after the shiny form of this evolutionary line at all.
18 Galarian Farfetch'd
When Galarian Farfetch'd and its new evolution Sirfetch'd were revealed to be a part of Pokemon Sword & Shield the fandom was excited to see one of the few neglected Pokemon from the original 151 finally get some attention. Beggars can't be choosers, but it was a bit of a letdown that the shiny version of Galarian Farfetch'd was underwhelming, to say the least.
Its feathers are simply a darker shade of brown, which makes it feel more intimidating, but that's honestly pretty subjective in and of itself. Shiny Sirfetch'd on the other hand is a dazzling golden shade of yellow and makes use of its color variant.
17 ꧑ Alolan Vulpix
You know a shiny form is bad when someone can glance at it and not be sure if that's the normal version of a Pokemon or not. That questioning eliminates all of the fun of trying to obtain these rarer color variations. Sure you still have the sparkly entrance animation, but when Alolan Vulpix and its shiny form are almost indistinguishable it feels like a buzzkill for something that should feel anything but that.
Alolan Ninetales leans more into the violet alterations to the white fur, but it still isn't enough to have fans of the evolutionary line struggling over and over in hopes of landing the shiny variant of a regional variant.
16 Flabebe
Not only is Flabebe one of the smallest Pokemon in existence, but it also happens to have one of the smallest changes in terms of its normal and shiny variant forms. Contextually this is a fun detail, but it's likely not the reason why the shiny form is so lackluster. The only real difference is that the bottom half of its tiny body is a charcoal grey instead of a vibrant green.
The only redeeming quality about a shiny Flabebe is that it can evolve into a shiny Florges, which is a satisfying and worthwhile shiny to try and obtain. That means it isn't the literal worst shiny Pokemon, but it's bad enough to make the list.
15 Scyther
Scyther is luckily one of the coolest-looking Pokemon in existence, so even though his shiny form is almost identical to the regular more common coloration it's not that disappointing.
On top of that Scyther happens to evolve into Scizor which is another cool-looking Pokemon as well. It may be a Bug/Flying-type, but at the end of the day, Scyther happens to look like one of the coolest dragon design conce💙pts the world has ever seen. An uninspired shiny form will never take away from that sentiment.
14 Phanpy
Catching a shiny Phampy will most likely have the fortunate trainer feeling a little down as it looks similar to regular Phanpy, but there is hope to be had. The shiny version of Phanpy's evolution, Donphan, sports a distinguishable change in color and is the silver lining to it all.
If you're one of those people who prefer Phanpy over Donphan and simply hand the little elephant an everstone, then maybe don't spend all that time and effort looking for a shiny variant unless you like sparkles and stars.
13 Beartic
Most 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ice-type Pokemon tend to be mostly white or lighter shades of blue as those colors help communicate its typing. When it comes to shiny forms you'd assume those design principles should go out the window, but that's not the case for Bearctic.
Despite its base form called Cubchoo ha꧑ving its blue head turn pink in its shiny form, Bearctic is left with the same whඣite coat that now happens to be injected with the smallest amount of blue toning that results in it looking almost the same as its normal coloration.
12 Bidoof
The assumption by many trainers is that the worst a shiny form can be is simply looking the same as the regular form. It turns out that Bidoof is here to prove the world wrong as🌠 it showcases what is worse than a shiny Pokemon looking exactly the same as it normally does.
Bidoof shiny coloration takes the browns of its coat and injects an unhealthy amount of orange and yellow leaving it woꦍ෴rse for wear. How in the world can a shiny form be uglier and more uninteresting?
11 Glaceon
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Eevee-lutions are very iconic and popular among the Pokemon fandom so you would assume that they would all be treated the same. The truth is that the line is almost cut in half when it comes to shiny for🐲ms where one half receive slight changes in color while the other half is given a vibrant and noticeable variation.
Glaceon falls into a camp with Leafeon and others where it looks practically the same. Evolve your shiny Eevee into a Jolteon or Vaporeon and you'll be much more satisfied with the results.
