I just adore this! Mainly the white part. :3

pokewalker January 22nd, 2011 4:19 AM

The ones I like most are Braviary, Enbuoh(Blue fire PWNage :D)and Janovy.

Wow, Enobuu looks different with those colours, and the other two look cool :D

I saw it's shiny sprite before but from this angle it's... enchanting. *///*

The blue, the red and the soft cream color all mesh so amazingly together, aaaaa. <33

I guess you like Blue Shinies then.
I like Janovy and Emboar, but I can't say the same for Braviary. :/

Why did they have to make Gigigear so...rusty-looking? It's pretty sad. :(

I don't know about that, but it does look a bit horrible. According to Bulbapedia, it's supposed to represent rusted copper, as shown by its noses.

I don't have that either, but just found these and didn't post them on purpose because they were blue :S And I like Enbuoh's because blue fire is 800 degree, which is hotter as normal fire and it just looks... Amazing. Still like Janovy's the best.

It looks good, I mean the colour pallette. And I don't care. As long as it's gears are rotating it still works :D

Yeah that, it is a suitable alternate colouring, as well as the fact that gold is a popular shiny colour for a silver pokemon.

The darker shades look really pleasing~ ♥

I like it's darker shades better than the lighter shades of it's non shiny form more too :)

Logiedan January 23rd, 2011 5:18 PM

Denchura's Sugimori makes the it's non-shiny blue parts more purple than blue.

Eh, it looks okay-ish. D: To me, it looks more sad and depressed, which also makes me slightly sad as well. xDD;

And as I just found out, Goruugu doesn't look too bad either in it's shiny form. I mean, gray isn't necessarily my thing(well, depending on what it is, really), but I think it matches the ol' golem.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/bf/Spr_5b_623_s.png

The lime green matches the gray perfectly! <3

I assume this Pokemon was also meant to be rusty looking when shiny.
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/c/c0/Spr_5b_632_s.png

To me it doesn't look very good being rusty.

King Gumball January 24th, 2011 1:07 AM

Well it is an ant, so maybe it is like rusty due to being so dirty. Makes good sense and I like that shiny colour, I don't see what other colour would have looked good on it.

Gilgαmesh January 24th, 2011 1:18 AM

I'll be honest with you: I didn't even know that Pokemon existed. .__.; I didn't know Gen V even had it's own ant.

...It's quite unusual looking, and this is just me looking at the shiny sprite, and it'll take a while for me to adjust to, at least. xDD; I guess it's not all that bad.

Personally I would have liked it to be black like normal ants (or at least the ants I see).

I think this one looks sorta scarier than the original. :D or prettier. or both.

While the original Cofagrigus is supposed to represent gold, I think its shiny form is supposed to represent silver or some other gray mineral.

rocky505 January 24th, 2011 2:30 PM

I am SRing for a shiny Virizion I have been SRing for 3 days now but still no luck. IMO I like the looks of Virizion when it is pink instead of green.

Yeah the purple, silver and black colours do make it look spookier than the normal colouration. I like those colours better, the mix well and gives it that scary-ghost-like feel.

I like the shiny, I think this one gives it a more ghost look. Of course the other one does as well but most ghost Pokémon actually have this dark design, and I like it. :P

Regeneration January 25th, 2011 5:23 AM

^ Agreed. That purple does give a more ghastly look to it. The colouring on the original one looks pretty odd to me: golden and blue, I dislike them together.

The Red Chain January 25th, 2011 5:50 AM

Desu's shiny looks a tiny bit odd to me. It's pretty yes but the colors do not suit a traditional Egyptian coffin to me. XD;
Maybe if it had black instead of a silverish color it would look a little less odd.

Ya know, there's a pair of shinies that I really wasn't too partial to for a while.. but I've come to love them! That pair is :

I got my own shiny Mijumaru recently and I cannot -wait- to evolve it into that oddly colored but beautiful Futa. <333

Shiny Oshawott is adorable. :) I love the colour of its shell, body... everything tbh. B/W has some great colour choices.

@pokewalker: I prefer the voice forme shiny tbh, step is too... bright. XD

Ducky is so cute <3 The colours are perfect for it! A yellow colouration would have also looks awesome.

Dustbunny? No xD Slightly better to look at? Yes! I love that shiny, I am able to look at it again.

the Red Chain-- Shiny Oshawott is one of my favourite shiny <3 The pink shell and pale blue/purple body is so cute! I WANT ONE!

I like Jalorda's shiny form. I think it's one of the few shiny Pokemon with decent a colour combination. >_>

pokewalker January 29th, 2011 2:10 AM

So here are all the shinies:

Which one do you like best?
EDIT: I like the Physic/Flying one best. Don't remember it's name >_>

Ho-Oh January 29th, 2011 2:17 AM

Shinpora? Or Woobat? (I...think those are psychic/flying. XD)

I like:
cottonee, herdier, petilil, deerling, vanilluxe, swanna , reuniclus, litwick and reshiram + snivy, oshawott and emboar. yeah I'm using the unconfirmed English names so what.

Why? I dunno, I think their colours are sexy. Pluuuss Reshiram + Cottonee look like royalty. <3

Shinpora. And could you please use the jp. names because I don't understand those unconfirmed english names. I don't want to get spoiled >_>
Here it is animated for those who don't know who Shinpora is:

I don't know many of the Japanese names for them... XD

Shinpora's shiny is still weird. Wouldn't you prefer something like Monmen's? ^____^ It's so amazing. And goldeeeen. Shinpora's is just like a basic shiny colour, idk, nothing stands out with it to me. XD;

Victini's animated sprite makes me think that it's albino for some reason.

Most of the shinies look pretty bad, in my opinion.

The colors just look so... pale.

Victini's shiny sprite as a whole is pretty overdone from the original in my opinion. XD; The vibrancy in its blue eyes and the dark orange is alright, but the white kills it for me. It doesn't suit it well and with the red, it contrasts a bit too much. This is one shiny I'll pass on obtaining. v_v

Fortunately, the Victini in the Liberty Island event is programmed not to be shiny. So are Reshiram and Zekrom when you battle them in N's Castle, but not in the Dragon Spiral Tower post-National Dex.

JAK3 January 30th, 2011 4:36 AM

To be perfectly honest, I think alot of the Shiny forms of the Pokemon look like there colours got screwy and mixed up, and only some of them share the same style as the previous Shinies.

AngelXavier January 30th, 2011 8:41 AM

I'm still going with Erufuun. It's the cutest little thing ever.
http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/shiny/547.png
This is definitely improved sprite when it became shiny.

Steven January 30th, 2011 6:55 PM

Last night right before 7 PM I hatched myself a shiny I have been hunting on and off since October. On the 1071 eggs, I hatched myself a Shiny Snivy though the Masuda Method! I am so excited I love it so much. <3

On 1/3/11 I caught a random Shiny Tabunne/Audino. And on 10/17/10 I hatched my first B/W shiny, a Munna on the 36th egg.

I can't post links yet, but if you really need proof just go to my Youtube page.

Snivy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dpjqwDbvNg
Audino: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEB9huGoYmI
Munna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbL30hgNJI

Speaking of Snivy's first evo. When I play through my English White, I will not evolve Snivy completely. I do not like Serperior's shiny form. The evolution stone will give Servine higher defense and special defense than Serperior. Combine that with Glare, Leech Seed, Coil, and Leaf Blade I will pwn.

----

So I've started on my Landlos hunt! I got in 100 SRs so far.

What I am going to do is dual SR. Since I have a Supercard DS Two, I can SR on my computer and DS (although, on my computer it's about half the speed of the actual DS game, so I don't get nearly as much as normally.) I calculated I could get about 5 SRs per minute. And I have a snow day, so I am going to SR for 30 minutes every hours. That's 150 SRs per 30 minutes at most. It'll probably end up around 120 though.

By 12:30 I should have over 500. I want to get to 800 today, maybe even 1,000.

This is me, without a life.

Edit: At 1,000! :D

Regeneration February 2nd, 2011 4:40 AM

This thread needs activity! D:

One of the B/W Pokemon I like much more in their shiny form is Genosect. That red suits it a lot more! Purple doesn't have that evil look which red gives. 8D

Then activity it shall get!

I prefer this one from its original form as well. The only thing I really don't like about it is the pink fill for its robotic feet and hands. XD; Then again Genosect did go from dark purple to light purple tips. Pretty decent overall though.

Sigilyph February 3rd, 2011 7:08 PM

http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp335/Grasaldrea/ShinyShinporaanimated.gif

This is my favorite shiny this Region, with Snivy coming in second. I can't wait until I am able to hunt for the thing and add it to my team. I already know what I'm going to name it, "thirteen." I don't know why, I just think it's fitting.

Ooka February 3rd, 2011 7:45 PM

This one is like, 500x cooler than any other shiny this gen:

I love shiny Reshiram (too bad I can't get one, stupid shiny check ;w;).
I also like Vanillite, Emboar, Chandelune and Volcarona's shiny formes a lot.

I have been really interested in the shinies lately, all yellow. idk why but they just really caught my attention. http://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/shiny/517.pngwell munna I have always loved shiny.

but these two look so cute http://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/shiny/498.pnghttp://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/shiny/528.pngTepig and Swoobat look really good shiny and I would plan on hunting a shiny in the future. Two of my favourite shinies now.

インフェルノの津波 February 15th, 2011 12:21 AM

Swoobat...Holy crap.

But I just want to highlight this guy:

I prefer this to it's actual sprite. The original looks too bright and fake, this looks like the real deal.

Derezzed February 15th, 2011 3:34 AM

I'm not a fan of most of the shinies this season, I find their colour schemes a bit odd.

Yeah Swoobat is awesome looking as a shiny. Maybe it's the furry coat combined with its wings, but it makes the shiny colours stand out more. The shiny would look better if the Pokemon itself didn't have that tail. :(

I also like Vanillite, Emboar, Chandelune and Volcarona's shiny formes a lot.

You can get a shiny Reshiram if you defeat it and met it later in the Dragon Spiral Tower.

You just shattered some glass there, now that you mention it it's tail does stick out like a saw thumb :( Maybe if the tail was... idk a lighter shade of purple maybe? But yeah Swoobat actually reminds me of a start in a night sky :3 I love Swoobat shiny and non shiny now n_n

Shiny Aaken (need to memorize english name XD ) Does look beautiful, it has always been a stand out non shiny because of how colourful it is, but the shiny makes it look a little more fitting to the environment. I just think the green suits it very nicely. Another of my favs.

InfernoHo-Oh February 15th, 2011 3:55 PM

I love most of the shinies, but I really love Shiny Reshiram and Ononkusu.

I'm trying to breed a Shiny Kibago C:

No success so far.

Pwnyta Jockey February 15th, 2011 4:25 PM

Number wise, the shinies I like are:

#500, 503, 504, 507, 521-F, 541, 545, 556 hate the eyes, 580,
585-W, 596, 598 Nattorei, 607, 611, 612, 615, Grd-Gho's, 627,
628, 631, 640 Birijion

I did what now. Oh, in a night sky, Swoobat's tail fits perfectly. Then again it's nose is pink, so it does need to match something. If it had no nose, maybe it could lose the tail. Or even make the nose a darker yellow-ish colour?

HIMYM joke XD Like you mentioned something bad about something that I didn't notice before, now it sticks out. I think the colouring for it's tail makes it look a bit... naked compared to its furry body. I actually like the nose how it is, the tail should be maybe a touch lighter or darker. It looks a bit too fleshy how it is now :/

Empoleon09 February 16th, 2011 7:10 AM

Once i get the game im hopeing to find a Shiny Carracosta
he looks awesome with dark blue on him

Kendosis February 16th, 2011 8:14 PM

My favorite B/W shiny.

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/b/b6/Spr_5b_612_s.png

Virizion February 17th, 2011 4:46 AM

I catched Shiny Virizion yesterday, in JP White! That was so amazing! And i like the pink :)

blue February 17th, 2011 9:40 AM

I'm surprised if anyone has found shiny(s) in Pokémon Black/White, I've been playing Pokémon for 11 years and I've only ever found two,
(one being a couple of hours ago :D - Shiny Spearow on Crystal, another being a couple of years ago a Shiny Shinx on Diamond)

But.. my favourite B/W Shiny...

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0O_kkGi9t_HUswfHRmdKQReOs-F1B2Li12IFeSAWOJYRxlvDzQFcjvQ

Not much difference, but still really pretty IMO :)

Rai February 17th, 2011 6:19 PM

I want a shiny Virizion :D It's pink! Pink is my favorite color and Virizion is my favorite legendary of this generation.

インフェルノの津波 February 19th, 2011 4:06 PM

Shiny Victini.


http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/30/Spr_5b_494_s.png
I don't even know anymore.

Ho-Oh February 19th, 2011 6:08 PM

I dislike Victini's shiny, should've been golden since it is a fire type. :(
(Yeah that's a loooot of logic there >__>;)

White really doesn't look good all over. :x

Shiny Reshiram and Zekrom - Real or Fake?
 
I was absolutely amazed at Reshiram's shiny form, but this could all be sad news.

Spoiler:
Reshiram and Zekrom can not be shiny at N's castle, but there is a possibility when encountering them later after beating them, they will be shiny. You have to have 6 Pokemon in your party and a full PC if you catch them or you can defeat them, which is what the rumors say.


Are you going to try this and see if you can get yourself one of these Shiny Treasures, or do you believe it's fake?

bwburke94 March 5th, 2011 5:03 PM

The Reshiram/Zekrom found at Dragonspiral Tower also can't be shiny. :(

Really? Well I think this just sucks, lol. Reshiram just looks better Shiny in my opinion, more Legendary like, Gold is royal after all. This means that I can't even use an AR code to make it Shiny because people will probably assume I hacked the mess out of it :/

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/73/Spr_5b_643_s.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/66/Spr_5b_644_s.png

Honestly, I don't like their shinies, so I probably won't try to get them shiny.

But they'll probably be very valuable.

Heart Gold March 5th, 2011 5:09 PM

Zekrom's shiny looks strange, he looks better normal. Reshiram's shiny is beautiful in my opinion. I still love the original Reshiram though :)

JP March 5th, 2011 5:51 PM

So wait a minute... how are you suppose to even try and get their shiny forms? Is it not possible? XD

Zet March 5th, 2011 7:41 PM

a full PC? that sounds fake to be honest...well at least in my opinion.

Alternative March 5th, 2011 7:47 PM

Gamefreak have programmed Zekrom and Reshiram so that the Pokemon will never be shiny, unless you decide to hack your game and use a 100% shiny code. I think this is because you fight it as N's Pokemon and that Pokemon isn't shiny under N's control, so it wouldn't be shiny in the wild.

Zelda March 5th, 2011 7:50 PM

It isn't fake as stated, but to be honest I hope they at least make an event for the shiny forms of them if possible. :(

Merged with the Official Shiny discussion since we're discussing the shiny version of Zekrom and Reshiram either way.

With the release of the shiny dogs, I'm sure they'll eventually have more shiny event Pokemon. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw Zekrom and Reshiram as part of that event. Who knows how long it'll be until the next event of this kind happens though, probably years. :P

I don't think anyone said they were fake, but the information on how to get them is.

King Gumball March 5th, 2011 10:56 PM

Yeah someone was doing 20 000 + SR's for a shiny Zekrom ages ago in a shiny club on another forum and was never getting it, then it was revealed you can't get it shiny lol. But sonsidering their shiny forms are so... awesome it is such a shame. When I see shiny Reshiram I think of an angel. The colours are so angelic and it looks so mighty.

I knoowwww how cute is it! Appropriate for Autumn in Unova too hey? The colouring could not be better imo, and shiny Whimsicott is just as good <3

LethalTexture March 6th, 2011 2:19 AM

Sweet TB :D I came across one of these yesterday:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d4/Spr_5b_520_s.png

Quite pleased at getting my first shiny so quickly. I trained her to Lv. 45 and evolved her, so she is now:

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e6/Spr_5b_521_f_s.png

I haven't used her yet, really.

Pika-power March 6th, 2011 11:49 AM

I love shiny Genesect Sooo much!

Shiny Beedrill?
 
I just encountered my first Beedrill and it was shiny... and I caught it! :D

Anyways... anyone know the rate of them? Just curious.

Zelda March 6th, 2011 7:31 PM

Congratulations on the catch! (: However any shiny you catch or have an opinion on, please discuss in this thread.

Nameless. March 6th, 2011 7:37 PM

Just to add onto this, so no one wastes any time on it : Liberty Pass Victini cannot be shiny either.
It's STUPID GF unfortunately programmed to never be encountered shiny ; just like Reshiram and Zekrom. I state Liberty Pass Victini specifically, cause I think Movie 14 Victini can be shiny. This is simply because the Victini itself is not programmed to be encountered in the game like the Liberty Pass one, so it doesn't have the same fate. If you make a shiny sprite, it must be able to be "encountered" in some way other than hacking, so this is my theory. :D

I really wanted a shiny Victini too, this upsets me gravely. =w=;


Weavile05 March 6th, 2011 7:40 PM

No shinies yet, but with all the grinding I plan on doing, I'm sure to find one before too long.

Waffle-San March 6th, 2011 11:00 PM

So I was grinding it out in Pinwheel Forest recently when a Shiny Pidove appeared!! I honestly probably wouldn't have noticed the difference if not for the opening sparkle sequence. :P So now I don't know whether to stick with my original plan of using Sigilyph or to ride my shiny Pidove - it's female. Thoughts?

Shiny ratio remains the same (; It is just that so many people are playing the game it seems like a better chance of getting a shiny.

Kendosis March 7th, 2011 12:34 PM

Caught my first shiny like a hour ago, it was a sandile but I evolved it for obvious reasons lol.

http://veekun.com/dex/media/black-white/shiny/506.png

RANDOM SHINY ENCOUNTER AAAAA. <33
Definitely has a perma-place on my team now.

It was one of the very first encounters ever, right after 5 Pokeballs.
It was maybe the 10th Pokemon I ran into. ^___^
