Official Shiny Discussion [ Black and White only ]
 
Encountered your first shiny in Black and White yet? ...Or maybe you are hunting for them. Either way, this is the thread for you to post about your shiny encounters with the new Gen V pokémon! You may also discuss and give your thoughts about the shinies now that they have been revealed.


Before skipping along to post, please read these simple rules. :)
  • Only discuss B/W shinies. If you've seen a shiny or have a question about one in the previous gens, post so in their designated section of PC.
  • 4 word rule applies.
Have fun and enjoy some shiny sprees!

JP September 18th, 2010 7:03 PM

Well I haven't encountered one yet as I don't have the game yet haha, but color-wise the one that really caught my eye was Pokabu's final stage evo. I love the blue flames in particular.

Zebeedoo September 18th, 2010 7:05 PM

I love Ononokusu's shiny.. ;A; I'll definately be trying for a shiny one once I get the game... the english game. :3

ManhattanTheStarr September 18th, 2010 7:05 PM

I find most of the 5th generation shinies... strange. It's as if all of those that evolve has their color changed DRAMATICALLY to the point where it almost makes them seem like separate Pokemon... But that's just me. :B

Livewire September 18th, 2010 7:26 PM

The shiny versions of Zoroark and Candlebra look amazzzingg. :D Embuoo looks pretty goofy being neon blue though, and Zekrom looks no different. :/

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 18th, 2010 7:35 PM

How do they look I haven't seen any images of them, do you guys have any I want to see them :D!
What color is Shiny Zekrom?

JP September 18th, 2010 7:36 PM

There's a link in the first post, Mag. :P

vobgro September 18th, 2010 7:50 PM

Shiny wargle is amazing =0

Haza September 18th, 2010 8:00 PM

Zoroark and Zorua look terrible shiny. I like most of them though, especially the legendary Pokemon.

Impo September 18th, 2010 8:05 PM

i cant tell the difference between the shiny puppy and its original xD

and has anyone found any shinies yet?
*have you cracked the rng :o*?

Sorta agree. I kind of like Zorua's, but Zoroark's does look terrible as a shiny. :(

Haza September 18th, 2010 8:07 PM

The shiny forme of the Ice/Dragon is exactly the way that I wanted it to be normally! Gray body with Purple eyes! <3

Oh thanks I didn't see that :P
Well the ice dragon eyes look kind of pink to me not purple or pinkish purple...
I like Rashiram's it's awesome :D

Soari September 18th, 2010 8:15 PM

I got Pokemon black recently in Japanese and I am playing it. Sadly I haven't encountered any shinies as of yet, though I've still been actively hunting for shinies. xD

The shiny pokemon which I am looking forward to are:
Tsutarja, Mijimura, Emonga, Birijion, Churine, Chroneka, Wargle, Kurumiru and Reshiram, which looks so hot in shiny but not in normal one. xD

Still looks Purple to me. I'll be using that one instead of the normal one regardless because I think it should have just been that way. Where did the random Yellow eyes come from?

Logiedan September 18th, 2010 8:52 PM

This looks like the sprite discussion which is in Pokemon General. :/
Anywaysss,
I definitely love these:

white bg because i uploaded them and i'm lazy.

Arc September 18th, 2010 9:14 PM

Dang, those shinies look very nice. I like Enboo's shiny form the most, those beautiful blue flames... Anyways, I have not encountered any shinies so far in Black yet.

King Gumball September 18th, 2010 10:10 PM

Munna looks like a balloon!!! By far the best shiny of gen 5! Doreida looks less fat shiny :)

PlatinumDude September 18th, 2010 10:33 PM

-Futachimaru, Zorua and Zoroark are horrible as shinies.
-I don't see much of a difference between the shiny and original counterparts to Reshiram and Zekrom.
-The fully evolved starters are epic as shinies.
-Shiny Achen is so vibrant.

WindBlows September 18th, 2010 10:42 PM

Best. Shiny. Pokémon. Ever.

Fushigidane-Chan September 18th, 2010 10:43 PM

Fairly disappointed Reshriam's shiny form isn't black and Zekrom's white.

Can anyone confirm if the rumors claiming shinies now have a 1/50 of appearing are true?

dragon0fangz September 18th, 2010 10:49 PM

I like Korkoromori's, Warubiaru's, and Kurimugan's the best.

But overall, I dont really care, as I'll never get one anyways, according to my luck.

Its not bad luck if thats what youre thinking.

4 first time encounter shinies in Platinum.

Ho-Oh September 18th, 2010 10:49 PM

Denchura and Bachura = <3
Rankurusu's looks really good - and its pre-evos.

Now to use Syd's system of naming... Lady, Candle and Ice Cream looks nice too! And big piggie too. Reshiram looks like royalty, omg. Swana and Emonga are nice too... along with Kibago.

Uhhh and big dragon looks terrible I dislike it.

Corruptodile September 18th, 2010 11:17 PM

I think I saw Rankurusu's shiny as somebody's avatar, it was blue with a yellow face. Can somebody confirm this please?

I like Rankurusu and it's pre evolutions shiny forms. Also Gigaiasu's and Ononokusu's is really cool.

King Gumball September 19th, 2010 1:01 AM

I like fire moth shiny form too... Colours really suit.

Dooonerz September 19th, 2010 1:08 AM

I LOVE the pokabu final stage shiny. The blue flames really come out on it xD

Choroneko September 19th, 2010 1:55 AM

Just seen the list of shinys for Pokemon B/W, they look good! :D I'd like to see a shiny Gear :).

Gavrillo_AK September 19th, 2010 2:14 AM

Wow, I love Shandeera's shiny form.

OMG i'm battling a shiny one of these as i type! I can't believe i've found one so early in the game! :P :D

EDIT: Just caught it :D
Say hello to my first Gen 5 shiny

Sert908 September 19th, 2010 4:22 AM

I don't have the game because I don't understand Japanese, but as soon as the game comes out in english. But as for shinies, I don't really try to find any.

Hybrid Trainer September 19th, 2010 4:30 AM

Wow, i think i;m the first person on the forum to catch a shiny pokemon :P

And no Sperical Ice, the blue one goes a different shade of blu and the gear looks kinda rusty to me XD

Ono looks simply amazing as a shiny. I also quite like Woogeru (or whatever his name is).

Hamilton September 19th, 2010 5:20 AM

the pokabu line's shiny forms look AWESOME
oh and wargle shiny is FTW

Haza September 19th, 2010 5:39 AM

There's a closed thread in the forum that links to all of the B/W sprites ripped. That's what my guess would be.

JP September 19th, 2010 5:53 AM

You could with Paint or another program. :0 Figured that's how everyone was doing it haha.

Ho-Oh September 19th, 2010 6:11 AM

Apparently those sprites are hard to make transparent, according to TRC. So, you'll have to wait for the other site.

Anyway, the more I think of Denchura's shiny, the more I love it. <3

Oh and I also like Musharna's now.

Hybrid Trainer September 19th, 2010 6:19 AM

Welp it looks like i am the only one.
*claims bragging rights*

But is there actually any difference between the monkey trio evo's regular and shiny form? i really cant see a difference.

Dark knight17 September 19th, 2010 6:30 AM

I like Abagoora's and Daikenki's shiny forms. Mostly Abagoora's cuz I like turtles. :P

Spikey-Eared Pichu September 19th, 2010 7:27 AM

*gasp* Totally soft-resetting ofr shiny Reshi~ The rest look...eh

Your Denchura theme is greater than life itself


Personally I still love Zoroark's shiny, although it looks like im the only one. xD Wargle's is quite awesome to boot, even if i already knew it would be blue.

StratusJm September 19th, 2010 8:23 AM

megurukos final evo is a HUGE improvement as a shiny

Thorns September 19th, 2010 11:22 AM

Could someone send em the shiny pic of Gear, gigear and gigigear please?

Corruptodile September 19th, 2010 11:56 AM

Gear looks like I thought it would, I want a Shiny gear :D!

JP September 19th, 2010 12:17 PM

Shiny Gear for some reason reminds me of something you'd see out of a movie based in the early 1900s, kinda like something vintage haha. Definitely looks better shiny than normal.

Thorns September 19th, 2010 12:44 PM

Does anyone know where I co0uld find shiyn backsprites?

JP September 19th, 2010 12:49 PM

I haven't checked to see if all of them are there, but this place has them:
http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search?sort=evolution-chain&introduced_in=5

Just select which Pokemon you're looking for and it'll be on their page.

Unfortunately, I would not know the answer to that. Once bulbapedia gets updated with Black/White, you could try there.

You know, scratch that, I did manage to find some back sprites for you.

Scratch that again, the links broke.

austin00081 September 19th, 2010 3:05 PM

I love shiny Zeburaika, b'cuz he's purple! Yoterri is really cute shiny. Shiny Meguroko's 3rd stage looks more like a ground type, and appropriate. The chandelier and anteater are bad ass shiny, too.
I'm in favor of most of the B/W shiny color schemes!

Åzurε September 19th, 2010 3:44 PM

I like a bunch of them, but some just could have been better. Say, the ice cream Pokemon could have been brown (chocolate) or pink (strawberry), and shiny Zekrom/Reshiram should have been white/black, or red/blue respectively.

That's what I was thinking for Zekrom /Reshiram. That would have been cool. But no. We get gold bands on Reshiram and a green tip instead of a blue tip for Zekrom. A waste of a shiny.

King Gumball September 19th, 2010 10:19 PM

http://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/back/shiny/549.pngIs her shiny back sprite just extraordinary? So beatiful.

Ho-Oh September 19th, 2010 10:24 PM

Wow, you're right. It looks... so beautiful. Okay favourite shiny backsprite so far let's just forget I hadn't bothered to look at any others.

King Gumball September 19th, 2010 10:38 PM

I had to put Doreida in my sig as her shiny is just so beautiful, especially her flower crown. Such a wonderful colour blend of the pink, aqua and green. I underestimated her elegance :p

SKYNET September 20th, 2010 2:59 AM

i caught a shiny cats evolution. i dont know the names

Noukon September 20th, 2010 3:24 AM

Wish i did... I've only seen 2 (non-cheat) shiny pokemon threw-out my 10+ years of playing the games.

Pumpkin Fields September 20th, 2010 3:29 AM

RockmanEXE September 20th, 2010 10:11 AM

Shiny Kurimugan (The Dragon with the Red face/blue body. Can't post pic atm.) looks like something from Viva Piñata.

Shiny Emboar looks just like Phantom Ganon.

coolnick37 September 20th, 2010 10:52 AM

You can SR for shinies in every game. o_O

Also @ below: Yes Victini looks very weird there D:

Gulpin September 20th, 2010 5:51 PM

deku <3's the great ball tamagetake! It would've been cooler as a Master Ball though :/

Jaiyke September 20th, 2010 9:32 PM

Seriously?! haha i REALLY liked Victini's Shiny xDD i like it so much better than it's regular
why am i always someone that likes something other people don;t?! xDD haha oh well b;<

Anyway
Reshiram looks cool with Gold Bands and Red Eyes
though Zekrom looks alot less Aggressive looking without his Red Eyes xD

King Gumball September 20th, 2010 10:33 PM

I put three of the awesome B/W shinies in my sig!

Setosama September 24th, 2010 2:14 PM

Damn. Shiny Sazando should have been GOLD, not green/purple... :(

Eurydice September 24th, 2010 2:24 PM

How cute! You are very lucky.

cxan someone tell me if the three starters are displayed in the pokeballs and you are able to see if one is shiny?

I would suggest asking someone on Youtube who has a shiny starter. (I will too just in case they respond before you see this and I will edit with an answer)

Powerflare September 25th, 2010 7:20 AM

This morning I found a shiny Kuitaran outside Victory Road.

fenyx4 September 25th, 2010 5:49 PM

I've only sampled a few of the shinies:

http://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/497.pnghttp://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/shiny/497.png
Jaroda: IMO,the shiny sprite is a major improvement from the original, sort of generic one. I disliked how the original had green and pale green overlapping (I know several Grass Pokemon do this, but on Jaroda it seems redundant...). Moreover, the yellow markings look like bananas, which doesn't exactly fit Jaroda's theme...

The shiny coloration, however, changes the redundant green into blue coloration. I especially like this because it represents "royal blue", implying Jaroda to be distinguished (which also ties in with its personality that is supposed to be hailing to European royalty, according to Ken Sugimori). Furthermore, the pale green is made into a more vibrant and refreshing green, coupled with the yellow markings becoming a paler yellow and not resembling a banana's coloration anymore... A nicely designed shiny...

http://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/500.pnghttp://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/shiny/500.png
Enbuoo/Pignition/Emboar: The original coloration looks more menacing, IMO. But I love the shiny variant as well. It references how blue fire is even more powerful/hotter than fire with the standard orange/red color... I know the ability "Blaze" doesn't have an animation, but if it did, I would imagine Enbuoo with original coloration glowing red (like the back sprites of fire starters did in Pokemon Emerald Version), then gradually taking on the shiny color. Once Enbuoo turns blue, you know you're in trouble. :D


http://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/503.pnghttp://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/shiny/503.png
Daikenki: I still dislike Daikenki's overall design (especially that oddly placed shell on its head that looks weird, and the freaky white mustache appendages)... However, I feel its actual sprite should have melded aspects of both the original and the shiny versions. The original sprite's shell colors, in combination the shiny sprite's navy blue skin and tannish yellow underbelly would have looked better, IMO.


http://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/643.pnghttp://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/shiny/643.png
http://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/644.pnghttp://veekun.com:81/dex/media/black-white/shiny/644.png

Reshiram/Zekrom: These 2 legendaries had the most obvious shiny coloration possibilities ever! (black Reshiram w/red eyes and white Zekrom w/blue eyes, to tie into the whole yin/yang theme) These are the shinies of any Pokemon that have disappointed me the most... However, in compensation, I really like how Reshiram has gold accents added into its design (reminiscent of angelic halos); it makes me think that the shiny version should have been the original design. But I think that would take away from the point of all of Reshiram being virtually white, sans the eyes, for the yang concept.

Zekrom's shiny is just...bland, IMO. Just green paint spilled onto the original sprite... The 2 things both sprites got right for what I thought they should be is the eye color reversal...

I heard Kyuremu (the supposed third member to complement Reshiram and Zekrom) has a gray body and purple eyes for its shiny sprite, which is awesome. I haven't viewed its sprite since that particular Pokemon is a major spoiler I am trying to avoid for now. However, the gray-body purple-eyes concept is great news, since it combines the body and eye colors of Reshiram and Zekrom. :)


I'll probably have to resort to PokeSav for the shinies of Jaroda, Kyuremu, and possibly Reshiram... *sigh* I hate it when the good coloration of a Pokemon's design is the shiny variant, because it requires you to either gather up everything for PokeSaving the sprite or embark on the agonizing 1/8192 shiny hunt... Hopefully, there's an item either in BW or the "third version" that makes shiny hunting easier as the PokeRadar did in DPPt (sadly, the shinies I like so far are those "one-time Pokemon," so I can't exactly go 'hunting' for them in the wild... :().

I agree all the way with you. I don't know how you can throw the concept of yin-yang into two Pokemon, and not reinforce it with the shiny variants. That was not anything more than laziness. I know they had to have thought of that at the very least.. it's not hard, even us fans thought of it. The good thing is they at least switched eye colors like we speculated. Blue went to Zekrom and red went to Reshiram in their shiny forms.

I will post later with my thoughts on some other shinies cause I have a lottt to say.

Blue went to Zekrom and red went to Reshiram in their shiny forms.

I will post later with my thoughts on some other shinies cause I have a lottt to say.


I know! Though legendary version mascots tend to have their color match the version they are representing, Reshiram and Zekrom are colored the way they are for an explicit reason. This is even referenced in how they are depicted representing the "reverse" version, to even evoke the yin-yang theme on the box art. For these 2 particular legendary Pokemon, their coloration play a much higher role (and as a result holds a much greater meaning) than the colors of previous legendary version mascots. :\

I mean, where the heck did green Zekrom come from? :cer_confused: The only thing relating to that is the jade gemstone, which from what I have heard, is commonly associated with yin-yang. But it doesn't really make sense because Reshiram doesn't display that relation to jade at all; it still remains its original white color with gold additions.

I am the world's proud owner of a shiny Desumasu.

The only difference I see is that the mask became less valuable; it went from gold to silver.

Just going to comment on a few more shiny pokémon. :)

  • Mijumaru - I've always seen Mijumaru as a gentle baby pokémon and with the light warm colors along with a nice baby blue, has it fit the title. This is one of my favorite shinies for Gen V and it makes me like Mijumaru all the more. The colors match nicely together; the light brown seashell blending in with a pretty blue. Overall this shiny is both decent and simple which keeps it at a good part.
  • Chirachiino - Chirachiino has blissful shiny sprite. The colors are simple and similar to its regular sprite, and is nicely done. I love the purple/pinkish look inside the ears and the brown coats the white furs (or whatever it is o-o;) well. I prefer this shiny than to Chillarmy's as Chillarmy's shiny sprite is really purple/pinkish and wasn't brought to much attention by me as much as Chirachiino.
  • Denchura - I simply adore this shiny. The dark blue and yellow match together perfectly and it has a sleek design. Another one of my favorite shiny sprites and also one of my favorite pokémon for Gen V.
This is just my opinion for three of the pokémon that was brought to my attention in the beginning. <:

I have got in my game Shiny Minezumi (Watch) and Shiny Choroneko!

Surmonter September 26th, 2010 7:49 AM

Hopefully the Masuda Method is in B/W as well. I am sending an English Ditto to my friend's Japanese Heart Gold. She will then transfer that English Ditto to her Pokemon White then trade it to my Pokemon Black just so I can get an English Ditto for the Masuda Method. XD

Arc September 26th, 2010 2:34 PM

Well, while training my little-wittle Bachuru. I found the same shiny Eurydice found. The shiny Kaburumo!

Lots of shinies in game already! How cool :) I liked that Minezumi catch

Anyway, shiny Sazando makes me feel that it's more beast than the original version (but that's my opinion).

Ho-Oh September 26th, 2010 8:19 PM

Tbh, I prefer the shiny one (Denchura), since it looks nicer than the normal one, which just... looks awkward? I mean, I love Denchura, but the shiny is far more superior than the normal sprite for reasons I can't quite figure out.

Oh gosh...that's the shiny for Sazando? :cer_no: The original one annoyed me because the blue-red color scheme has already permeated through most of the Pokemon designs to date... On some Pokemon the blue-red scheme is nice/tolerable (Kyogre, Garchomp), but for others it looks forced (Probopass, sort of Gigaisu) or reminds me too much of Salamence, who already features it prominently...

Anyway, for some reason, the shiny Sazando is evoking the image of a mutated Barney... :( Maybe if the purple was changed, it would look better...?

Sazando's colours dont make it look fierce in the shiny sprite. At all. Its looks are threatening but the colours are dull. A bright colour contrasting on a dark colour would work a thousand times better....

Any tips on how to get a shiny faster? I was wondering if you can get a shiny from an in-game trade. I kind of want a shiny churine but I'm playing black right now...

Also is it possible to get a shiny legendary?

Ho-Oh September 27th, 2010 5:57 AM

Don't know about the other things, but I do know that you can get a shiny legendary. Just keep soft resetting when you face a legendary, after you save. After many tries you'll get it!

I'm assuming you can get a shiny during an in-game trade, but it might be hard, though yeah, not sure.

I encountered (and successfully captured) a shiny Tamagetake almost immediately after I had entered route 6.
Haven't used/trained it yet though since I'm not too fond of this pokemon species.

hamguy4456 September 27th, 2010 2:40 PM

I agree with Corruptodile. Shiny Goruggo is probably the coolest shiny I've ever seen. Aside from Shiny Gengar.

All these lucky people! Congrats it is so cute <3

The only shinies I have encountered are the ones that know Roar and Teleport :(

Hmmm..I read online something like if you caught a shiny pokemon and you use it in an in-game trade, the pokemon traded to you will always be shiny... But I'm not too sure. Anyone know if you can get a shiny from an in-game trade without your pokemon that you trade over being shiny?

If I can just soft reset to get a shiny Churine than I don't have to rely on luck hunting for a shiny Monmen.
