Unattractive "Shiny" Colorings

Shiny Espeon is the first who come in my mind.

Before the mega evolution, Shiny Gengar was in this list, but now.. HAVE YOU SEEN MEGA GENGAR SHINY!?

::So there is my list::

Any pokemon that don't have major changes like Venusaur (and evolution line)
Any greenish-yellow-ishshiny like Nidoqueen

Blastoise (and evolution line)
Houndoom and Houndour
Swellow
Helioptile (something is just wrong)
 
Well, I can't say that the Pokémon who look the same as their regular color palette are unattractive because it's not like they're bad - just so dumb and pointless. :(

As far as actually unattractive, all of the lime green ones are just kinda... eh, unappealing. There are others where I prefer the regular as opposed to the shiny variation too because the regular just looks better imo.
 
I really dislike most green and purple shinies.. they pick such gross shades for them. Going to exclude shinies that look nearly identical to their original counterparts since it's pretty obvious most people will dislike those, aha. Here are some that stand out to me as being notoriously bad:

Spoiler:


I can definitely find dozens more but that'll take a lot of time which I.. don't have right now. Also shiny Fortress looks like some kind of cookie I can bite into. ew.
 
Why are puke green and fabulous pink game freak's go-to shiny colors

they all just look so ugly

This pretty much sums up this entire thread. If I had to pick one I didn't like above all others? Nidoqueen. Nidoking gets Nidoqueen's kcolors but not the other way around. Why? It's worse when you realise Nidoqueen can't have babies.
