Best/Worst Alola Shinies
 
For me the best is Pheromosa. So cool, black is the best for my fav UB.
And the worst is Alola Marowak. Well, his body is blue (don't make any sense.)
And for you?

For me the best is Cutiefly/Ribombee, and the worst is Komala or Bruxish.

Headphonix January 7th, 2017 4:47 PM

What??? Can't agree with Marowak, i want a shiny Marowak badly!
However I agree with you with the best shiny. Shiny Pheromosa is really pretty.
I guess I have to give the worst shiny trophy to Pyukumuku... That green... It seems like someone just threw up on the poor thing.

Bruxish is by far the coolest one I have seen. Looks like Christmas.

Kikaito plush January 8th, 2017 8:48 AM

The best is Toucannon and the worst is Komala.

Shiny Kommo-o's color scheme is so bad; in fact, it's just as bad as shiny Excadrill's coloring, IMO. Shiny Alolan Vulpix is also a victim of not looking too different from the original version syndrome. Shiny Komala has it worse; only its log color changes.

Shiny Vikavolt and shiny Lunala look awesome.

blue January 9th, 2017 5:13 AM

Shiny Dewpider and Araquanid look awesome in those colours! Those two are my favourite shinies of the Alola dex. Least favourite is Bewear because it just really doesn't look much better in yellow.

LilyGardy January 9th, 2017 5:51 AM

My favourite Shiny Alolan Pokemon are Alolan Raichu and Marowak. The colours really work on both. Shiny Alolan Raichu looks like a chocolate mouse.

My least favourite Alolan Shiny is the Jangmo-o line. Why bright yellow and pink? Why?

Lemonski January 9th, 2017 9:07 AM

My favorite shinies are probably Drampa, Oranguru, Tsareena and surprisingly Kommo-o as well even though I'd like it more if the yellow wasn't that bright. Those pink scales always remind me about cherry blossoms and I think that's cute.

For some reason I just can't get myself to like shiny Passimian though. Same goes for Bruxish and Komala as well, but especially for the latter as I find it weird that only the log has different colors.

I feel Morelull and Shiinotic had a missed opportunity for the shiny colour, since the original pink on them was already perfect and most pink Pokemon turn blue when shiny (just look at Mew and Ditto), so I felt a pale blue would have made for a better choice than the orange/brown combination we got.

Agreed. When I first saw that shiny leaked I was like "Game Freak, did you really have to be this lazy?" and the fact its main body doesn't even change just makes Komala outright one of the worst shinies in existence, in fact even worse than shiny Garchomp.

Frozocrone January 27th, 2017 5:08 AM

Komala's amazing when you theorize that the log is the Pokemon, not the bear lol

They did a solid job on the locked Tapu's. I also like the Dewpider line.

Worst would probably be Incineroar and Salazzle. White shinies aren't that appealing to me.

FloofyIncineroar January 27th, 2017 7:23 AM

I love black Shinies, so Pallosand and Minior take the cake for me. Decidueye and the Shiny-Locked Lunala also look fantastic (why must Shiny Locks exist).

I don't like how the Jangmo-o line looks. Yellow and bright pink is the worst color combination in the world. Alola Vulpix and Alola Ninetails are also kind of anticlimatic, considering there is very minor changes between the standard look and the Shiny.

Nah January 27th, 2017 9:06 AM

Shiny Palossand looks kinda cool.

Kommo-o's shiny is fugly tho like how did that make it into the game

idk, I like it, but that's probably because red would be my favorite color and all I can think of when I see shiny Solgaleo is Caineghis lol

Sirfetch’d January 27th, 2017 10:05 AM

Bruxish and Ribombee are my favorites I think. Bruxish is literally Christmas in a fish! As for the worst, I will say Solgaleo. It's not good by any means...

Hikamaru January 27th, 2017 2:39 PM

Why all the shiny Jangmo-o line hate? I actually like pink and yellow because they fit so well together.

Haza January 27th, 2017 3:06 PM

Salazzle, Litten, Araquanid and the Tapus have the best shiny coloring.

Hikamaru January 27th, 2017 8:09 PM

I don't like the Litten line's shiny forms. They remind me too much of candy canes which is just extremely silly.

Dewpider and Araquanid's black/purple/red mix were definitely a step in the right direction for what a popular shiny should be. As we know, black makes awesome shinies.

The yellow is a mustard-like shade, so that could be it. The pink isn't that bad though.

AliceBlaze January 28th, 2017 4:23 AM

Best: Decidueye, Toucannon, Salazzle and Tsareena.

Worst: Shiinotic, Komala and Bruxish.

I think in general the shinies this gen are kind of lackluster. I think I'd rather see a Pokémon change slightly then to see a Pokémon only change parts of it.


One example of this is Bounsweet, it's shiny reminds me of Togekiss, not really noticeable. Another one is Komala, the log change is cool but the Pokémon itself is a disappointment.


Obviously there are also shinies that change a lot but instead get the Weavile effect, just plan ugly color combinations. Such as the Jangmo-o line.


I think the best shiny line is the Rowlet line.


Charjabug is definitely no Metapod when it comes to shinies. I mean Metapod is Vermillion, a color that instead a primary color.

Ducolamia February 5th, 2017 12:19 AM

I like most of the shinies this gen. I think they look pretty cool.

I love Shiny Dhelmise, Wimpod, and Crawbrawler. They all look really cool! I think red shinies got justice this gen.

Kommo-o can GTFO. Seriously, Gamefreak? It's not that Pink and Yellow can NEVER work, but they way they did it here is atrocious. Are you telling me that this shiny was seriously approved? Even lackluster shinies are still shinies I want to look at. I never want to see this shiny again. All the colors are applied to the wrong places of it's body and it really just screams "UGLY" in big bold letters. Not as bad as shiny Krokodile but still very very close.

Bobbylicious February 6th, 2017 6:16 AM

I honestly think most of them are pretty bad, but I'd say the worst would have to be Jangmo-o line, along with Pyukumuku, Solgaleo and Lunala.

My favorites would probably be Cutiefly line, Wishiwashi, Stufful line, and I guess Alolan Raichu.

There are a few more I like but I wouldn't call them my favorites, like Komala, Oricorio, and Togedemaru. I also really love the idea behind Alolan Grimer/Muk - how Kanto Grimer/Muk is the shiny Alolan color, and the Alolan Grimer/Muk is the shiny Kanto color.

Radiating February 24th, 2017 7:48 PM

Shiny vikavolt is pretty cool.
