#ugly shiny pokemon

[ashestoshadows]

Today I'm doing a list on shiny Pokemon! But this time they're on shinies that are either ridiculous or just make no sense in any matter of the word sense.

-------------

No 1. Garchomp/and it's catastrophic mega form

(Normal is far left while shiny normal is middle and mega shiny is right)

Whoever designed normal shiny Garchomp deserves a slap in the face and whoever designed this monstrosity of a mega Pokemon's color scheme deserves a real whack in the face. I love Garchomp to bits but why did they have to almost make it look so pale it puts me and my naturally pasty skin to shame? And or make it look like it's possibly unwell?

And to make matters worse and rub salt into the open wound it gets even worse with its mega, who designed these? I figured they'd want to make Garchomp's shiny memorable considering many struggled with Cynthia's, but it turns out they really couldn't care less about such a badass of a pokemon.

Pure disaster and I HATE IT

-----------

No 2. Glaceon

(shiny is right while normal is left)

I love all of the Eeveelutions, but Glaceon and Leafeon's shinies almost are indistinguishable from their normal counterparts if you don't know, or even if you do know you might miss them... Like Garchomp who is no 1 on here.

Why are the designers so bored with designing shiny pokemon?! Don't do the job if you don't put in enough effort for it to shine at least. (no pun intended)

Needs more shine

-----------------

No 3. Leafeon

(Normal is left while shiny is right)

Even in editing of this post I'm struggling to see a real difference on my laptop screen, it only looks like the Leafeon got a slight tan and that is really it. Besides the more verdant green going on which I get but the tan doesn't, even if it is a grass type.

Pure lazy and stop tanning

-----------------

No 4. Pikachu

(Normal is on the left while shiny is on the right)

Pikachu is, and has always been the mascot of Nintendo and Pokemon since it's debut and everyone would assume and expect they'd treat the cute but annoying mouse with respect? Nope.

Just give it the Leafeon treatment and give it a tan. Expect here Pikachu look's like he got covered in cheeto or twistie dust and now looks like a living, breathing, and electrifying cheeto who you cannot eat.

I will eat pikachu if i'm not careful and caught on a bad day

-------------------

No 5. Dragonite

(Normal is on the left while shiny is on the right)

Everyone knows Barney the dinosaur, and Dragonite from Pokemon. And Gamefreak and Nintendo decided to combine them when doing Dragonite's shiny. It almost look's like Barney expect replace the green body with purple and the purple on his wings with green and that'd literally be Barney down to a capital T.

Dragonite is cute and cuddly while Barney isn't. At least to me, and is more scary than anything and I can think of more cooler color schemes for him.

Someone beat up the shiny pokemon designers

--------------------

No 6. Lucario/his disgusting shiny mega form

(Normal is on the left while normal shiny is in the middle and mega is on the right)

I love Lucario- so much so I have a statue of it which is still sitting in its box due to the fact i don't have a place for it currently. But regardless; Did they really have to treat such a beloved pokemon such as Lucario with such disrespect? Am I really seeing these shinies right? Normal is a very unflattering yellow which makes my eyes hurt and his mega form gets more worse although is very close to shiny mega garchomp on awfulness and unflattering colors which hurt my eyes.

His middle part which is usually beige goes to... BLUE? WHY BLUE? and it get worse in his mega form. If his whole shiny was blue it would've looks fine but with the eye-watering yellow it looks... eugh.

------------------

No 7. Gengar (not the mega or gigantamax)

(Normal on the left while shiny is on the right)

Gengar is one of the many favourite ghost types of mine, it fluctuates how much I like it at times. The difference between a shiny gengar is the blue in its mouth???

Not sure if that is still the case as I don't have one, at least, as of writing this (25/06/23) But doesn't change the fact shiny Gengar normally is the living embodiment of disappointment. Like Garchomp from earlier.

Rest in peace the pokemon whose shinies make them either indistinguishable or sick.

--------------

No 8. Mamoswine

(Normal is on left while shiny's on right)

Mamoswine is a good pokemon, it's shiny though? No. I have one too if you wanted any reason to feel bad, or laugh at me, I caught it as a Piloswine with yellow hair (?) in PLA and decided to catch it as it's a shiny and anyone would kill for one. But this???? NO.

It's color scheme is a disgusting almost sewer green which is almost like Lucario's eye-watering yellow illness/plague that I really wish to never come into contact with.

-------------

No 8. Espeon

(Normal on left and shiny on right)

I love cats, there's no way I'm going to deny it as I have been brought up around them but... This one makes me want to try and spend as little time with it as possible due to the fact it is the color of toxicity and i don't want my character to get ill and die.

I still love Espeon, but... Why? Umbreon got the better end of the stick, but why did Espeon get the short end of it? Why are most of the eevee's considered poor color-wise on the scale of shininess??? Did they seriously give up on everything else besides Umbreon, Sylveon, Eevee, alongside Vaporeon who all stick out for the better reason then the rest?

Long story short I want it sent back to Chernobyl before I catch something

-------------

Image post limit is the reason this is not any longer, but yep. More to come of me shaming Nintendo and Gamefreak for their shitty color schemes

I was inspired to do this due to some youtube videos. But it's me on tumblr and my smart-ass

Saw some discussion about this on Reddit, and now I'm curious:

Option 1:

Option 2:

[ribbononline]

T'is the season! For some Masters Holiday alts, of course. I think Archie would have some strong opinions about the ethics behind arctovish but like if it already exists it deserves a good life nonetheless

[peerkartosh]

shiny espeon is not ugly, you are just jealous

[mizartz]

riolu might have one of my favorite shinies tbh

[soulubles]

What are your favorite pokemon? Show me in a picture please

Definitely not what you were asking for but it’s baby Toxel 💜💕 Toxel is adorable and Toxtricity is so cool! I like them so much I made a little original trainer designed around their appearances……….

She doesn’t have a name and I was never going to show her to anyone because it’s embarrassing jfhfhjd but that’s how much I like this pokemon!!

I also LOVE Sudowoodo irrationally, and Piplup and Scorbunny and Sobble in a more rational way. From memory:

The Pokemon HOME app limiting random features and information to either the mobile or console versions is SO clunky and annoying.

My goal: to check which of my favorite Pokemon and shinies stored in HOME don't have the Paldea Champion Ribbon yet, so I can bring those into Scarlet and get it for them. But! You can only view what ribbons a Pokemon has on the mobile version of the software! And you can't move Pokemon to your switch games from mobile!!! So you have to:

quit out of the console app, if you opened it already because you thought this would be a relatively simple task

open the app on mobile

manually document which Pokemon don't have the ribbon- like, on a piece of paper or something

close the mobile app (you can't have both versions of the app open simultaneously)

open the app on console

move them from HOME into Scarlet, referring to aforementioned list

Now you might say "There is a custom tag feature in Pokemon HOME! You could apply a tag to the Pokemon you plan to move instead of making a physical note on a piece of paper!" But unfortunately, the only aspect of the tag you can see on the console version is the color- the name of the tag isn't visible. and I'm already using every color of tag available

(also: you can only make and apply tags on mobile. other mobile exclusive things: wonder trade and gts, viewing 90% of achievements, viewing models, switching between a pokemon's stats for different games it can go in without switching what game you're planning on moving things between)

[hychlorions]

finally..... my klapollo pokemon are in my hands

also mikeko's base stats bc i thought it'd be ultra funny if she could kill klavier when she hits him with the darkest lariat

[jelly-jolly-jester]

AGAIN???? WHAT THE FUCK, DID PALDEA HAVE SOLE KIND OF NUCLEAR REACTOR NEXT TI THE ELECTRIC GYM OR SOMETHING????

[084392]

also i wanted to say, solgaleos shiny shouldve been green to better reflect this idea

[pr0cyon-lotor]

OK so this past weekend, I went to brunch with a group of Pokemon Go pals, and my friend Laura and I realized we were about to hit best friends. She suggested we swap shiny Galarian Stunfisk, as she knew I’d been hunting them for ages in search of a good one. We popped lucky eggs and made our trade… let’s just say I had the whole restaurant’s attention within seconds!

(Hers sucked, by the way… still, she seemed happy enough for me that she asked me to name it after her!)

[kamalemons]

ahhhhhh

gosh 1011 for a hit, i'll take it!

[guardianwallace]

i hope wallace gets a shiny luvdisc

Paradox Bewear or Unrelenting Grasp. I was going to call it like Iron Grip as a joke as well it hold to be like Iron and playing on/stealing the Violet paradox naming system but I decided to change it ultimately.

Unrelenting Grasp has aspects of all the bear type pokemon, with Pangoros pants and hair, Ursarings rectangular features and less noticeable/the weakest connection but claws like Beartic (tho they had the least inspiration in this design ultimately as its just a bear with an ice bear and crotch fluff)

I imagine they're like an ancient feral cave bear equivalent a theorised common ancestor perhaps or something.

They were gonna have a violet future paradox form which was the absolute most neutered form of any kind of bear a robotic bear companion thing meant to be cute with everything they disliked about the others taken out of it. It had floating hands like Iron Hands so it couldn't crush kids in its arms, stumpy legs so it couldn't run at speeds ect

Ultimately I didn't have the energy to finish it and it was too among us shaped and I knew it'd get memed to hell and I just couldn't work out now to make it look robotic futuristic or a nice color scheme so you get past form only lmao
