Although\u00a0Pokemon Sword<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0Shield<\/em><\/strong> have been out for some time now, fans continue to\u00a0wait for new\u00a0features as Pokemon rolls out its two-part Expansion Pass. With Isle of Armor already in players’ pockets, fans are left awaiting\u00a0The Crown Tundra, which promises to add new Legendary Pokemon like Galarian Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, alongside\u00a0new landscapes for players to explore.<\/p>\n

Pokemon Trainers have known what’s generally in store for the Crown Tundra DLC since earlier in the summer, but small new details continue to work their way out into the open. At first, Pokemon Sword <\/em><\/a>and Shield<\/em><\/a>\u00a0players were excited to discover that new versions of\u00a0classic\u00a0Legendaries, like Registeel from Hoenn and Articuno from Kanto,\u00a0would be making an appearance. Now,\u00a0dedicated fans\u00a0have been treated to an even more exciting detail.<\/p>\n

As per a leak coordinated by @CentroLeaks, the Shiny versions of Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres<\/a>, have been revealed.\u00a0And what’s particularly exciting about these shiny variants is their thoughtful design.\u00a0A common Pokemon<\/em>\u00a0fan complaint often concerns the fact that\u00a0so many <\/strong>Shinies\u00a0are just ever-so-slightly\u00a0color-swapped versions of their originals.<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0partially due to the way in which\u00a0Shiny patterns were automatically determined in early games, but nonetheless, Shiny Pokemon hunters\u00a0often criticize\u00a0the fact that a large number of\u00a0Pokemon<\/em>‘s Shinies are basic<\/a>.\u00a0While some Shiny forms are dazzling, like the entirely coal-colored Charizard, many Shinies are simply\u00a0either a lighter\/darker version of the original (see: Bulbasaur, Poliwag, Pikachu, etc.), or literally just the color green (see: Tangela, Scizor, etc.)<\/p>\n

Now, this\u00a0new set of Shinies\u00a0is particularly noteworthy because the original Legendary bird trio suffers from one of the aforementioned\u00a0unfortunate traits – Shiny Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, are\u00a0strikingly lackluster. Thankfully, the Shiny Galarian Legendary bird trio not only\u00a0features\u00a0distinct colors, but also serves as an homage to the original Legendary birds<\/a>. As fans of the originals are well-aware, the Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres found in Kanto are differently typed from their Galarian counterparts. They also look entirely different.<\/p>\n

As a nod to these\u00a0iconic\u00a0Legendary Pokemon, Nintendo has made Shiny Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres resemble their original Kantonian designs. That is, Shiny Galarian Articuno features the exact same color palette seen in regular Kantonian Articuno<\/a>, and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

Though exciting, experienced Pokemon Trainers have also been quick to caution eager fans: gamers still don’t know if The Pokemon Company\/Nintendo have\u00a0chosen to “Shiny lock” these Pokemon. “Shiny locking” is generally performed on very rare or otherwise valuable Pokemon that are encountered in-game (many event Legendaries, for example, but sometimes even Starter Pokemon), and it renders the Pokemon unobtainable as a Shiny<\/a>. Whereas players\u00a0would\u00a0normally be able to save before encountering\u00a0a\u00a0Legendary, and soft reset until it appeared as Shiny, they would never succeed\u00a0with a Shiny locked Pokemon. Hopefully though, fans\u00a0will be able to track down the Kanto lookalikes in their Kantonian-colored forms.<\/p>\n

Pokemon Sword<\/em><\/strong> and Shield<\/em><\/strong> are available now on Switch. The Crown Tundra DLC\u00a0is available now for purchase, and for download on Thursday, October 22, 2020.<\/p>\n
