5th Gen Official Shiny Discussion [ Black and White only ]

[Brave Jonah]

I'm going to go ahead and say that my favorite shiny in B/W is Ulgamoth (thus far).

 

[Logiedan]

I'd rather Ulgamoth's shiny colours but the red-ish orange does support its fire type.

 

[Luminssence]

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

It's better than having an ugly green change on like 50% of them :)

Masuda Method

You know how in the gen4 games that if you breed a pokemon that's been traded from a foreign language game, there's a higher chance that the offspring will be shiny. Does that method work in BW as well?

If not, is there any other method of getting shinies more easily in those games?

 

[Ho-Oh]

Yup, the Masuda method works in B/W, so merged with the shiny discussion where you can further discuss it~

 

[mervyn797]

I'm pretty unlucky when it comes to shinies, so I haven't encountered a single one while playing Black...
I always found shiny Pokemon ugly, so the hate continues right to B/W as well....
And Shiny Reshiram and Zekrom don't have much of a difference from their normal sprites. =(

 

[Xatumi]

I'm pretty lucky, I caught myself a shiny Fushide this morning! What a good way to start the day. And its Adamant natured. Can't get any better.

 

[Perriechu]

Not one shiny for me on Black or White. I've been trying to hatch a Shiny Pokabu, since Enubouu's (SP?) shiny form is so amazing :D

 

[Zelda]

For the three wise monkeys I'm going to have to say, I simply adore their shiny forms. The vibrancy from the original forms to this is amazing, and I'm quite impressed.

Yanappu - The change from the forest green to a light/lime-ish green was a great move. This kind of green has it out stand a bit more, as well as come off appealing in my eyes. I'd love to obtain a shiny form for Yanappu and I fond it a bit more than its original.

Baoppu - I'd say this is the only one I don't really fond too, too much. The orange is alright, but I prefer the brick red color for Baoppu. With its original colored form, it represents being a fire type a little more. This is still a decent shiny form for Baoppu though.

Hiyappu - Although it's a little bright, I still like the shiny form for Hiyappu. For some reason I see Hiyappu as a Pokémon you'd see at a beach. /weird like that. I have nothing dire to say for this shiny; a bit bright but pretty decent. I do however prefer the darker toned blue as it seems a bit more simplistic and upright.

Out of the three, Yanappu would be my favorite shiny form. I definitely like the green color used for it, and as I said, I would hope to catch one at some point in the game.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

Wow these three look amazing, I want to capture a shiny of each Monkey now :)

...

Still shocked about this XD

That's not exactly true. Shinies are still hard to come by. Your friend just got lucky.

And is it just me, or is there something...off about Gamageroge's shiny form?:

The orange doesn't compliment it's turquoise really well. That's probably the only reason why it's off.

 

[Ho-Oh]

The normal form of it isn't even nice, either. Replace orange with a black or something and it'd look awesome. :D;

 

[Logiedan]

I think they could've replaced the turquoise on it's shiny form to a sort of grey-ish red or green.
hue shifttinggg

 

[Ho-Oh]

I looove the red, it matches the original Pokemon a lot more than the shiny we have - the green does look bad, though.

But aren't most toads/frogs in some shade of green? Maybe it's just stereotypes. I do like the green on Gamageroge, though. It should've been a light shade of green with yellow circles and blue eyes.

I'm not a big fan of Virizion, but I did notice that its shiny form is the inverse of its normal form.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Nah, the uglier frogs are full on green. XD Brown frogs ftw.

Anddd that is such a beautiful shiny, even though it is the inverted colours. It looks so amazing with those colours.

That looks even better than it's normal form. Most shinies look disgusting. =(
