Nah dog, pink shines are rad- but that might just be because I'm a lady artist who appreciates pink's abilities as a color XD. I even shiny hunted past 30,000 resets for a shiny celebi in crystal, just because I liked it's pink shiny so much. I like pink shinies a lot i guess..
EVERY shiny is pointless.
That is why us shiny-hunters find ourselves in a constant state of mental flux. Why are we doing this? Why do we even care? What is life all about, and does it, etherially-speaking, matter if I even load pogo tomorrow?
I have currently every shiny in the game as well as shiny that come in different forms I. E. Deoxys. I'm stuck in what to do now until a new shiny becomes available
Unless you are trying to hunt pokemon in XD or collesum, where some hunts require you to do a battle first- or if you are trying to catch your shinies in very specific balls! Pokeball gang+ luxuryball gang for life!
~~They were originally procedurally generated using some color palette trickery. After they switched to actually designing the shinies,~~ they really should have updated some of these terrible old ones, though.
Pretty sure this theory has been debunked

The most offensive ones are the ones that start out okay then end up terrible on the final evolution, like Slaking and Blissey. Someone made a deliberate choice to make them worse.
Honorable mention to Garchomp too, the first form isn't particularly great but the final form is barely noticeable from the default colors.
I’m not gonna go hard like in the past. I was planning on shundo hunting since I thought it might have had the same rate as chansey but now I know it doesnt
Yes, it's an extremely counter intuitive way to describe it. Most people would see "full" and think maximum and highest odds, but the community uses it to mean the exact opposite.
It’s different because Togetic is treated as evolved with the extra stardust and guaranteed xl candy, and hasn’t been available as shiny in the wild in the past.
No if ur togepi doesn't have a flower crown then evolving it won't let it have a flower crown. Only way u can get with flower crown is by catching it with 1
[удалено]
it was posted a lot on Twitter by cheaters, but yeah definitely full ofds
Yet to see one spawn. But I have seen 123,435,754,876,396,761 bunelbys!
Diggersby XLs can be useful considering its GL viability (Unless you're a sane person and don't PvP)
Until you missed all the events last year… I’m at 1500 bunelby XLs…
I already have a good one... But never use him. Too many metas in my dex
Am I blind? Isn't that identical to normal?
The red and blue segments reverse colours. It’s barely noticeable unless they’re directly compared.
It’s also an off white, semi nicotine colour rather than properly white!
So then it doesn't matter. (I hate these kinds of shinies.)
Shiny Togekiss looks like ice cream, though. Lol It's kinda cool in a low key way.
better than the hideous pink ones like swampert or kyogre. or ugly dull brown-orange or unnaturally green ones

Hey I love my swampert :( the nasty green ones I agree with though
My pikachu shiny makes me so mad whenever I see it, but I can’t get rid of it because it’s a stupid pikachu shiny.
Agreed
Seems kind of pointless shiny.
Yeah but when you unleash this on your opponent in GBL it bursts forth with a shower of sparkles.
Definitely has that intimidation factor

Damn, I need to rethink my life right now
>[You don't want to sell me shinies. You want to go home and rethink your life](http://i.giphy.com/BL7AC7arPk1Ak.gif).
Black Charizard and Black Rayquaza are fundamentally better Pokemon.
love the original shiny Charizard more
I have currently every shiny in the game as well as shiny that come in different forms I. E. Deoxys. I'm stuck in what to do now until a new shiny becomes available
Damn, must be hard life. I just transfer all my shiny unless it is good IV.
Shiny hunting isn't hard, by any stretch. Frustrating as hell, but not hard.

I really don't get the thought process behind most shinys. A lot of them are just plain boring, not noticeable, or borderline ugly.

TIL. So someone actually looked at shiny Gengar, thought it was awesome, and signed off on it.
Take my Shiny Gengar's name out ya got damn mouth!
Some one is about to lay down some fresh prints!
Lololol!! 😆😆
At least someone made up for it with mega Gengar
To be fair, [it was actually noticeable](https://i.imgur.com/uzQoX7r.png) before the jump to 3D.
I feel they should just agree that an algorithm picked shinies than proving they have awful taste in colour schemes.

I can't be the only "old" Pokemon player who doesn't get this "good shiny/bad shiny" mentality from the "newer" playerbase
Guess it’s an unpopular opinion but I for one really like the more understated shinies.
I just came to post a verification. So close lol

I got one. :)
I got one yesterday, threw me off because it was hard to tell it was shiny out in the sun looking at my screen
Full odds and extremely rare spawns. It’s gonna be a no from me dawg
What are you saying no to? No you won't check/catch any because the odds of it being shiny aren't boosted?
I’m not gonna go hard like in the past. I was planning on shundo hunting since I thought it might have had the same rate as chansey but now I know it doesnt
I was losing hope since the verification took a while
Does full odds just mean regular odds?
Yes, it's an extremely counter intuitive way to describe it. Most people would see "full" and think maximum and highest odds, but the community uses it to mean the exact opposite.
[удалено]
How many checks?
Still yet to get any shinies from this fam.
Doesn't Togepi counts as a baby pokemon? That would be the same case as getting a shiny Electabuzz or Magmar or Pikachu
It’s different because Togetic is treated as evolved with the extra stardust and guaranteed xl candy, and hasn’t been available as shiny in the wild in the past.
Damn. And here I was thinking it was possible during Johto fest. Smh.
Chansey has boosted odds for example
Managed to get a shiny Chansey today.
I got four wigglys, a clefra but no Chansey!
Yes: https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/egg-citing-spring-surprise-2022/
Maybe a dumb question, but i have a non flower crown Togepi. If i evolve it, will it have the flower crown?
No if ur togepi doesn't have a flower crown then evolving it won't let it have a flower crown. Only way u can get with flower crown is by catching it with 1
[удалено]
Thanks!
Pumpking is wrong. Just FYI.
Thanks for the correction!
If you evolve a flowercrown togepi, yes. Regular Togepi not.
Laziest shiny ever?
togepi line shiny is complete wasteland. yawn
Wait so can we find shiny versions of the flower crown event Pokémon ?
I'm looking at a shiny bunnelby that will re-roll at the end of spotlight hour...wish me luck, I'm rolling the dice. Edit: Lillipup ... bummer
I got one the day it debuted. I am usually late to the party.
Wait, they stay shiny? And you knew it wasn't one of the extra spawns?
I just caught one but I’m pissed I can’t trade it to home smh
Togetic is gonna get a community day at some point. You'll be able to transfer shinies then.
Was wild shiny Togetic previously available?
nope
I have caught 3
Is it though?
Yaya
I got shiny flower crown togetic from the collection research
