There is tons of good shinies out there but there are a lot of bad ones, simple color tone change to puke green. Personally, the Machamp line and the Gen 4 trio -Giratina, Palkia and Dialga have some pretty bad shinies. Dialga has a horrible shiny depicting light blue and blue-green which I feel don't fit whatsoever. Palkia is a tone change and Giratina just feels too organic with the skin color and the light blue. Finally, Machamp shiny doesn't need an explanation, I mean look at it.

shiny espeon could've probably benefited from the whole "barely changed shiny" colour-wise because purple is a good enough colour for it as it is, but instead they went with green for some reason. .__.

shiny jolteon could've been done WAY better, too. @[email protected]

Tauros for sure. It has a shiny that just make it look so... unwell. I don't like it. Maybe making it just a lighter shade of brown would have been better for it than that green it has. =/

Pretty much all of them. I might be in the minority but find just about every shiny looks far worse than the original design.

I think Giratina shiny looks sick 0.0 This is the first I’ve heard of someone disliking it.

I’m not too big of a fan of pink shiny Swampert, I think a color more dark fits in better with its “Mudfish” concept.

There are others though like Shiny Manoswine, Shiny Typhlosion who don’t really look all *that* different from their regular version IIRC..

Any of the ones that are so close to their original sprite as to make it hard to tell they're shiny on first glance, for the obvious reason that I could potentially down them without even noticing they're shiny if I encounter one while grinding.

This one is awful. The shiny is a more dull colour than the normal one...? Makes sense /s

Pikachu definitely. Gengar too but I'd keep his mega the same, maybe make his normal shiny match that. As for Pikachu, I'd give it Marill colors because of the age old Pikablu stuff

Arcanine should be white, Butterfree should be pink like in the anime (a popular opinion), and almost all green shinies (like Espeon, agh) should be changed to almost anything else. Green looks so bad for most of them. :<

Off the top of my head, espeon and teddiursa/ursaring. WHY are they green? green shinies are so hard to do (basically crustle nails it and the rest is questionable ahah). Espeon could be golden or orange since it's got that daylight thing going, and teddiursa/ursaring could be a a nice silver maybe
Sylveon should have a fall-themed shiny like trevenant. burnt sienna, olive green and yellowish orange
The shinies that barely change colors all deserve more. Imagine a hazel pikachu with yellow stripes (and maybe turquoise cheeks?), or a pitch black gengar (to contrast with the gorgeous pure white mega gengar even though RIP megas so maybe regualr gengar could also be white?)

i'd also change uxie/mesprit/azelf's shinies as their shade of yellow absolutely clashes with their primary colours (with the exception of Uxie). i get trying to make them the same shiny colours for mostly obvious reasons, but yellow isn't it at all. @[email protected]

To be honest, I'd redo the majority of the Kanto and Johto Dex. A lot of them just use such unpleasant colors. I know that it's because the Gameboy Color didn't have the best palette but some of them just look so bad in newer gens.

Also, Garchomp. What's the point of a shiny Pokemon that looks exactly the same as its normal coloration?

I already saw it mentioned here, but I don't like green Espeon. It could have almost any other color and it would look better.

I personally don't like shiny onix and shiny machop. Why do they need to be that shade of green?

Shiny Obstagoon rubbed me the wrong way. He’s supposed to look like a badass dark type but his shiny makes him look like a clown and it just looks terrible.

Shiny Alcremie. They either should have gone with a safer shiny color or really committed to the black. The grey comes across as more “someone put their cigarette out in your royal icing”, imo. :/ Shiny Solgaleo could use a redesign too. The saturation and over use of the red is pretty visually jarring.

And obviously Espeon, lol.
