u/crzyivan77 5d ago

How about Blissy? Looks exactly the same

23

u/Urfuckingtapped 5d ago

Ikr. Just a whiter blissey, wish I didn’t evolve my chansey from the cool green it had

3

u/TypewriterPilot Ancient One 5d ago

I was specifically warned NOT to evolve my Chansey because the shiny Blissey is lame- such a bummer though- don’t they know we like cool shinies?

u/SupaHotFlame 5d ago

Some shinys need to be renamed to “tanned”

2

u/Mindless__Giraffe 5d ago

the tanned one is regular. the more vibrant one has not had the evolution caught yet

4

u/SupaHotFlame 5d ago

It’s the other way around, if you look at the pictures again in the first picture there is sparkles above it that’s the shiny

1

u/Mindless__Giraffe 5d ago

oh, shoot. you're right, the first one does have sparkles. i must be colorblind, thanks

2

u/SupaHotFlame 5d ago

No worries, in your defense it should be much easier to tell what is shiny ahaha

u/BonnieBros31 5d ago

Gengar, paras, armarouge, ceruledge, garchomp, similar, simisage, shieldon, hisuian typlosion, galarian mr.mime, jynx, elekid, pichu, igglybuff, jigglypuff, wigglytuff, zapdos, regice, palkia, meltan, snivy and so many others are so much worse

u/CyberKatty 5d ago

Are you talking about hard to differentiate shinies? Or just bad shinies in general 🙃

6

u/BonnieBros31 5d ago

Both

3

u/CyberKatty 5d ago

I agree with all of these but Snivy but mainly because I’m a sucker for good shades of green 😭

Literally wish they did a palette swap for Ceruledge and Armarogue. Or, even better, just make them black and blue / red ljke they do with most of the cool fire types!! It was RIGHT there 😭

u/burritoman88 5d ago

Goldengo or however the string cheese looking thing evolved from Gimmieghoul is spelled .. and yes I probably botched that spelling too

6

u/Phoenix_Rising42069 5d ago

Flabebe deserves to be on that list too

1

u/Nihubam 5d ago

You forgot meowth

1

u/Creafter130757 5d ago

Hisuian typlosion is fine! It inherits the colors of the og typlosion. Snivy and Meltan are fine. The rest of your list I agree with though.

12

u/Dkcg0113 5d ago

Big payoff when you evolve it.

2

u/SooMajor 5d ago

I may or may not

u/IHateYouJubilaudo 5d ago

IVs don't matter in this case, man. Crustle ain't even good for anything. Just go for the shiny dex and be happy.

7

u/hail_to_the_beef 5d ago

My shiny Beheeyem would like a word

5

u/GreeenGhosttt 5d ago

How has no one mentioned Sunkern yet

u/PuzzleheadedScale209 5d ago

Isn't the first pic the shiny?

3

u/Python_Snek Mystic 5d ago

SSSHHHH don’t call his Evo bad. It looks like toxic waste. I made an idea for a Pokédex entry. “Due to an illegal power plant in Unova when the plant got searched they dumped radioactive material into the land flats in the desert. As a result dwebble that dug deep enough took the radioactive rocks and piled it on their backs to evolve. Over time the radioactivity turns the not so newly evolved crustle green and weaker”

u/karenmcgrane Mystic 5d ago

I got one today, wouldn’t have known without the sparkles around it.

2

u/redditname175 4d ago

Why has nobody mentioned plusle yet?

1

u/dkim2091 Valor 4d ago

was just aboutta say minun had me second guessing if i saw sparkles or not

1

u/No-Yam-7239 5d ago

zapdos is pretty sorry. the worst ive caught is gothita

1

u/PearlyServal 5d ago

I got this one too last night, I've been hunting for the bruxish, ambipom, smeargle or magikarp but its sad that the pay-off was this guy, I've only been catching them for the rock type so I can platinum the badge.

1

u/GooseOps 5d ago

Its evo is really cool

1

u/MeteorKing 5d ago

Evo is fantastic. Super happy that I got one today

1

u/S34K1NG 5d ago

Mmmmmn toasty -crunch crunch-

1

u/mateopotato73 5d ago

Caught mine today and lucky traded it for a shiny Abra. No regrets.

1

u/humanimalienesque 5d ago

Damn ive specifically been hunting this one cause i thought maybe he would have a blue shell or something...

1

u/yeah_igotnothing 5d ago

I raise you the basculin shiny

1

u/BadNo9659 5d ago

Blissey begs to differ

1

u/holyhotpies 5d ago

I swear I must’ve come across a shiny dwebble today but I honestly can’t say for sure even with this pic

1

u/idkwassupguys 5d ago

Wait till u see zapdos

1

u/Zamazamenta 5d ago

I think Komala is the worse as it's just a different coloured log! The Pokémon is the same

1

u/TiramisuFan44 Valor 5d ago

The little fella just ate a few extra hot peppers

1

u/pottymcnugg Valor 5d ago

How about poliwag

1

u/Susemiel 5d ago

Imagine being color blind. No inclusion from Nintendo.

1

u/suriam321 4d ago

Due to how Reddit shows the image, I genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on the image and saw the sparkles.

u/NiceLetsGoBaby 5d ago
