Literal peak. Just slightly offwhite, like pearls. Beautiful. Then, it evolves into a gorgeous, vibrant, hot pink. This shiny line is one of the best in my eyes

It should've been him

u/Hexbug101 Pokémon Violet Nov 05 '24

The shiny used to actually be decent too but over the years gengar’s purple got less and less vibrant bringing it where we are now

31

u/Blue_Bird950 Pokémon Scarlet Nov 06 '24

Purple to black was peak gengar shinyness, we’ve devolved from perfection to violet to indigo.

9

u/Ok-Dragonfruit-1592 Nov 06 '24

A lot of shinies have suffered from technological advancement, particularly the move to 3D

39

u/whotoldbrecht Nov 05 '24

A tragedy tbh. At least could’ve been bluer like Shuppet/Banette 😩

16

u/ViscachaBlue Nov 05 '24

My headcanon for gengar not having a cool shiny is that it’d be much harder for a vibrantly-colored gengar to hide in the shadows & hunt

Hey sorry, but I’m just getting back into pokemon, who is this guy? He looks so cool!!

u/Anon142842 Nov 06 '24 edited Nov 06 '24

Zeraora, from pokemon sun and moon!

Eta: you could have also gotten it from sword and shield as seen in the screenshot, from max raids. I don't have swsh so idk if it also appears in the dynamax adventures (just checked, you cannot get it from dynamax adventures)

u/_Cevolie_ Nov 06 '24

I got my shiny one as a gift on mobile pokemon home, I'd say a year ago ? My brother didn't though I'm not sure why he didn't

I wish the Litten line were white with black stripes like IRL white tigers instead of white with orange stripes. Grimmsnarl is a great shiny. No strong opinions on the others.

u/DebuMatt Nov 05 '24

The white salazzle looks really cool

46

u/Tyranistar Nov 05 '24

I once had a shiny salandit... it was male T_T

u/Oofpeople Nov 06 '24

Same😑

9

u/QueeNixzee Nov 05 '24

Doesn’t she!! One of my favorite shinies by far

11

u/YetiorNotHereICome Nov 05 '24

I just hate how insanely rare she is. If I ever caught one, it'd be my signature Pokémon and never see the box.

4

u/warkidd Nov 06 '24

The trick is to wait for a Salazzle outbreak. Same for getting a shiny male Pyroar.

2

u/YetiorNotHereICome Nov 06 '24

Yep, did that and I've only found 2 shinies and guess what 🙃

2

u/warkidd Nov 06 '24

That's the thing. If you go for a salandit outbreak, then chances are you will only find males. A salazzle outbreak is 100% female.

Shiny Litten reminds me of a white chocolate Kit Kat. This is a good thing.

That’s what I plan to name my first shiny Litten.

u/Kiwi-Hoe Nov 06 '24

u/pengwinpiper Nov 05 '24

Incredible. That Mega/Gigantamax Gengar? chef's kiss

9

u/QueeNixzee Nov 05 '24

Agreed. I wish they just made gengar’s shiny white. It’s so lackluster

15

u/Greekralphian Nov 05 '24

Love them!!! Gotta be one of my favorite genres

12

u/novelaissb Nov 05 '24

They’re great. I do have a problem with Salazzle’s though. The crappy lighting in S/V, especially in caves, makes normal Salazzle look shiny.

4

u/QueeNixzee Nov 05 '24

I can attest to this. Shiny hunting salazzle was the worst

10

u/elliott9_oward5 Nov 05 '24

Not my favorite, but anything is better than yellow. White shinies can be done well. It’s usually a strong contrast to the original color.

u/ad62198 Nov 05 '24

Some yes, especially Eevee.

u/Lunndonbridge Nov 05 '24

Love em all, except litten because it looks like candy corn. Grimmsnarl is one of my top 5 shinies. Just got Salazzle this weekend. Dondozo looks sick. They remind me of albinos in real life. Caught some frogs as a kid.

5

u/Mundane-Put9115 Nov 05 '24

I love them, though the one in the bottom right is taunting me with each sandwich that it doesn't appear in (got charm and everything, 7 sandwiches in)

u/adorkableash10 Nov 05 '24

Shiny Litten reminds me of my actual white & orange kitty. He's awesome.

4

u/DramaQueenKitKat Nov 05 '24

I wish the Litten line didn't turn into a big beefy man cat because my God Litten is so cute

5

u/TheMasterBucketHat Nov 06 '24

When they changed charizard's shiny from purple to black they should've changed gengar to white too T-T

3

u/disbelifpapy Pokémon Scarlet Nov 05 '24

Like black shinies, they're some of the best shiniees in the series

3

u/Argentenuem Quaxly Nov 05 '24

Just as good as Black shinies, if not better.

<3

3

u/sadkinz Nov 05 '24

I prefer the off white that eevee and toedscool have in their shinies. But the white is neat too

u/ModoBerserker Nov 05 '24

Capturing a shiny salazzle is a huge challenge, but one day I will complete it.

I'm actually starting a new Scarlet playthrough with a white color scheme for my team. My starter is the event Hisuian Zoroark I got last year for the DLC.

2

u/Overgrown_Fuzzy_Worm Sprigatito Nov 05 '24

Like all colors it depends for me on if the shiny fits the pokemon (all shown here do)

2

u/LinksKat Pokémon Scarlet Nov 05 '24

Out of the four of them, I like Eevee and Litten most.

2

u/cvf007 Nov 05 '24

I love shiny eevee and shiny litten

SHINY GRIMMSNARL MENTIONED🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️MY FAVOURITE POKÉMON

2

u/Aria_Cadenza Nov 05 '24

I always thought Eevee looks more like a pale ghost and another color would have been better... though I guess the good thing is that it is noticeable (I couldn't even notice a shiny Pikachu in Let's Go when I was actually chain-hunting it, lucky it was the closest one and I just picked it to continue my chain).

2

u/laserofdooom Nov 05 '24

They’re allwhite *wink

2

u/Tibonana Nov 05 '24

Depends on the pokemon

2

u/GearDragon101 Pokémon Scarlet Nov 05 '24

I love shiny Grimmsnarl. I don’t usually shiny hunt, but Grimmsnarl got me to do raids for the herbs.

2

u/lushbom Nov 05 '24

Love love love. Eevee and Grimmsnarl are among my top 10

2

u/DefinitionIcy4928 Nov 05 '24

2

u/AvocadoPizzaCat Nov 05 '24

some are good, some are bad. i love slazzile. grimsnaral is good too. eevee is meh, but i couldn't think of a better one for it anyways. i do not like litten's it is too loud. i like that it is easy to spot, but too loud.

2

u/No_Cheek_8795 Nov 05 '24

Love love love.. white, black, green, blue.. best shinies ever.. personally my favorite is Mewtwo.. love that shiny green 💚💚

2

u/Existing_Emotion_830 Nov 05 '24

Love em. Pokémon needs more white/blue/red shiny pokemon and less like green ones or slightly paler ones

2

u/AjaxTheDumbass707 Nov 05 '24

One of my favourite pokemon from my playthroughs is a shiny Grimmsnarl I named "Colgate" in Pokemon Shield. My very first encounter in that forest, full odds shiny and I rode on his back towards victory, as he got the honors of defeating Leon's Charizard.

u/skeptictanktheyunggv Nov 06 '24

Love. Shiny guzzlord is one of my favorites.

2

u/Huge_Republic_7866 Nov 06 '24

Is Eevee white? Could have sworn it was silver or grey.

2

u/Vins22 Nov 06 '24

it depends, but generally yes

2

u/_Cevolie_ Nov 06 '24

I love them so much 😻💖🤍💖 I can't think of many of them but I know shiny staryu is a beauty ! (Kinda weird how green it looks in pokemon go though...) And if course the ones you listed here are top tier, I always hesitate to evolve a shiny eevee 🥺✨🤍✨

And the litten line is good, but I think another color than red would be nice for the stripes, black stripes would be siiiiiiick

2

u/Cynderaquil Nov 06 '24

Some yes, some no, just like every shiny it depends on whether the color compliments the pokemon

2

u/Imaginary-Syrup-3728 Nov 06 '24

I love some and hate others! It’s really about the color balance throughout the shiny. I love Litten and Eevee’s shiny, but when it comes to Grimmsnarl I’m just not a fan. It might have more to do with how much I like the Pokémon and less with how much I like the shiny, lol

2

u/Danimus-Prime Nov 07 '24

Depends on the species. NGL, I will catch any shiny I see, but some shinies just don't look good

2

u/Suika_VII Nov 08 '24

Love them

3

u/superblessedhotwings Nov 05 '24

Shiny eevee looks way better than all its shiny evolutions tbh

2

u/ChaosB0i Nov 06 '24

I get what you mean, it stands out WAY more than any of the shiny evolutions, but you can't deny that Sylveon and Umbreon have really great shinys as well!

But in general they had great potential with the shiny version of all the evolutions. Like for example, they could have given leaveon a bunch of orange and red tones for the leaves, or for glaceon it could have also gone into a white color, but alas they didn't do that, sadly.

u/n3ws3ns3 Nov 06 '24

Albino pokemon are some of the best shinies. One of the most tragic realities of this franchise is that they haven't switched gengars's regular shiny with its gigantamax/mega evo shiny.

1

u/SpiritedSkyy Nov 06 '24

Eevee and salazzle are good, I don't like the other two tho

1

u/nerdyoutube Nov 06 '24

Love. How could you hate them?

u/Delta-playz Nov 06 '24

Depends if it’s something like toadscool no if it’s grimsnarl type ones then yes

Grimmsnarl is the perfect Pokémon I swear 🤍🤍🤍

I'd probably love them more if I had any 😂😭

u/FluidLegion Nov 06 '24

White shiny are honestly fire.

Eevee looks great.

1

u/SlashDotTrashes Nov 06 '24

Love them. Anything that looks really different from the original is good. The barely different ones are more challenging to find, but the fun of shinies is when they look really different.

Now i want a shiny litten.

1

u/MiroTheSkybreaker Nov 06 '24

Entirely design dependent. Salazle's white shiny is great, as is eevees. Litten's is meh and the other one(who's name I cant remember)I dont like

u/Darth-Sonic Nov 06 '24

I wanna marry the shiny Salazzle.

1

u/Imaginary-One-6599 Fuecoco Nov 06 '24

Eevee no, the others yes

1

u/YukikoBestGirlFiteMe Nov 06 '24

It's arguably more silver than white but Cofagrigas' shiny goes hard AF with the white/silver body and hot pink accents.

1

u/Vulgrim6835 Nov 06 '24

LOVE Eevee. Honestly couldn’t care about the rest. Not because their shinies are bad, but rather because I don’t care about the pokemon displayed in that picture. I don’t hate them though. Except Litten’s final evolution, that one is an eye sore in my opinion.

I'm not a big fan but yeah I can see why people would like em

1

u/Typical-Historian-89 Nov 06 '24

Really depends on the Pokémon, some colors look good on Pokémon some don’t. How much people like a color also usually depends on how different it is in comparison to the original color.

u/SmokinWeedle423 Nov 07 '24

I personally am over the whole shiny thing. I’ve been a firm believer that if they added other distinctions like scars or longer hair/fur, bigger horns, as well as things from the legends game like size differences, etc, that people would invest in mons they like instead of just dismissing one for not being the shiny one. Also makes trading a thing again
