All\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em><\/a> players are familiar with the concept of “shinies”: rare Pok\u00e9mon variations bearing an alternate color scheme. Since they’re incredibly scarce, they serve as a badge of honor for dedicated Trainers, a testament to the hours of searching required to find one. Though they don’t have any special powers, players love\u00a0shinies for their rarity and unique style.<\/p>\n

However, not all shiny recolors are done well.\u00a0It’s bad enough when they\u00a0barely look different from their original versions, but some are garish or just plain bizarre, detracting from their appeal. Here are a few\u00a0beloved\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon whose shiny variants ruin their excellent designs.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Venusaur<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While it’s not the worst of the worst, Venusaur’s shiny variation is deeply disappointing. While the regular form is beautifully vibrant, shiny Venusaur looks sickly. The yellowed green of its body and leaves, coupled with the sickly yellow of its floral elements, makes it look like it’s wilting.<\/p>\n

A better recolor for Venusaur could have been to change the body to a dark green or dark blue, and the flower deep purple. This would have retained the lush tropical vibe, as well as hinting at Venusaur’s Poison typing.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Noivern<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A few shiny variants\u00a0use this tactic,\u00a0taking the same colors\u00a0from the regular sprite and swapping around where they’re used in the design. Unfortunately for Noivern, this technique resulted in a letdown of a\u00a0shiny sprite.<\/p>\n

This Gen VI Pok\u00e9mon’s<\/a>\u00a0original design is bold\u00a0without being gaudy; the bright accent colors don’t overpower it. On the other hand,\u00a0the shiny version puts the red and turquoise front and center. The colors no longer complement each other; rather, they clash in an unattractive way.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Ursaring<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

“Sickly green” appears to be a running theme with\u00a0poorly designed shiny Pok\u00e9mon. Ursaring’s shiny form is a harsh, loud radioactive shade, transforming this magnificent bear<\/a> into an eyesore.<\/p>\n

A green shiny form isn’t necessarily a bad choice for Ursaring, but it’s been executed poorly. A dark pine green, perhaps with dark gold accents, would have suited this forest-dwelling Pok\u00e9mon perfectly. Another great choice could have been to turn this woodland brown bear into another species, like a polar or black bear.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Lucario<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Lucario is a fan favorite, and for good reason<\/a>: It’s powerful, fast, and beautifully designed. Unfortunately, with the alternate\u00a0color palette, its grace and poise don’t translate to its shiny form. Bright colors don’t fit with this Pok\u00e9mon’s poised, stoic nature\u2014and these particular shades aren’t visually appealing either.<\/p>\n

As with\u00a0Noivern, swapping the main and accent colors didn’t work out for Lucario. This regal-looking Pok\u00e9mon’s shiny form is garish and loud, with\u00a0an icky\u00a0yellow-green as the dominant color.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Ferrothorn<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ferrothorn’s shiny\u00a0variant\u00a0doesn’t really make sense. In its regular form, the silver colors reflect its Steel typing, while the greenery represents its Grass-type parts<\/a>. The shiny version turns these to khaki yellow and dull red.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, these colors are, again, just\u00a0not good to look at. An inverted color scheme, as was done with Lucario and Noivern, actually would have worked very well for shiny Ferrothorn. Sadly, players are currently stuck with an ugly, insipid shiny for this powerful Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Scrafty<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Too many bright colors in high volume\u00a0usually tend to clash, and shiny Scrafty is no exception. This Pok\u00e9mon’s original form features warm colors that coordinate well, and also evoke the feeling of its desert habitat. Its shiny variant, however, is painted orange, bright yellow, and neon green.<\/p>\n

Shiny Scrafty\u00a0no longer looks tough or intimidating, the whole conceit of its personality. It looks less like a fighter, and more like a clownish caricature\u2014not something a Fighting-type Trainer<\/a> would be proud to have on their team.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Barbaracle<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Barbaracle’s design isn’t exactly subtle, to begin with,\u00a0what with its stripes and spikes. The shiny version, though, takes it to another level. It looks like something out of Dr. Seuss\u2014and not in a good way. The pink-and-green stripes are bright and lurid, and really don’t make sense with its typing.<\/p>\n

Blue shades could have worked well for shiny Barbaracle, perhaps paired with gray or black. The shades of its current shiny variant, though, are more reminiscent of a badly designed floral Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Mismagius<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Mismagius is another unfortunate sufferer of the brownish-greenish-yellow curse. In its normal form, this Gen IV Pok\u00e9mon exemplifies Ghost-type design<\/a>. Its shape, color, and smirk evoke the spooks and mischief that characterize its personality. The shiny recolor just looks sort of gross, and doesn’t work thematically at all.<\/p>\n

A yellow Mismagius isn’t necessarily a terrible idea. A very pale, harvest-moon color could have worked quite well for this nocturnal Pok\u00e9mon. However, as it currently stands, the original form is far more appealing.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Buzzwole<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In its shiny form, this mighty Ultra Beast<\/a> becomes an eyesore. The curse of neon green has blighted many a shiny Pok\u00e9mon, but for Buzzwole, it’s made even worse by clashing with the vermillion of its muscles.<\/p>\n

A better choice would have been to\u00a0avoid violently colored accents and change the entire color scheme. Blue, purple, green in its entirety\u2014any hue would be better than this bizarre choice. Buzzwole’s monochromatic scheme is part of its visual appeal, as the colors don’t distract from its powerful silhouette.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Kommo-o<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Majestic Kommo-o’s shiny form is, to put it bluntly, absolutely hideous. Yet again, sickly greenish-yellow dominates the color scheme, and clashes horrifically with the hot pink accents. While the original is imposing and regal, the shiny variant looks like something out of a circus.<\/p>\n

Kommo-o’s scales have been used to make armor for ancient warriors in the Pok\u00e9mon world, but it’s hard to imagine a noble knight clad in these shades. A dark-colored shiny with silver accents would have suited this Pok\u00e9mon far better.<\/p>\n
