I know there's a lot of debate about shiny Pokémon. Some people dislike that some of them barely change colour, while others are upset by the fact that a Pokémon can have an absurd chromatic in its shiny form.

For these reasons, I'm curious to know which shiny form you like the most and which you dislike the least 😆

In my case, I fell in love with Furret the first time I saw it, while I still remember the delusion I felt upon seeing Dragonite, one of my favourite Pokémon, with this questionable shade of green 🥲

Shiny Ribombee (followed by Shiny Celebi) is probably my favorite shiny.

As for least favorite... I honestly don't know. There are some where I did wish they were more my cup of tea (like Shiny Mega Audino is pretty disappointing to me), but I don't know if there is one in particular I super dislike. If I had to try and pick, I would guess one of the ones that are like neon green/yellow or the like brownish green-yellow.

If I try really hard to pick one off-hand that bothers me, I guess maybe Shiny Primarina? The yellow "hair" doesn't match anything at all, even compared to its previous evolutions and I wish they went with a more complementary color of it (I think coral or seafoam could have been nice or even some mix):

Like you had this Indigo, Violet, and light pink, and you added yellow.

(As an aside, I don't personally have any grievances towards the ones that are super close in color. At least you know you'll like it and you get something similar with a special effect.)

I didn't remember that shiny Primarina looked like this! And yes, I agree with you, that yellow isn't the best match 😟

While Ribombee looks fantastic! She has an autumn girl vibe, and you can really tell she's on her way to order a pumpkin spice latte ✨

Another one I remember while we're talking is Espeon. Why did they decide to choose this exact shade of green? Omg, it hurts my eyes 🥲

I've seen some pictures of Espeon and Sprigatito together, so I changed Espeon's green shade to Sprigatito's and I think it's an improvement. Not perfect but an improvement :

Definitely! With this shade of green, it resembles a kind of Psychic fairy of the woods, while the original looks as if it has been washed in highlighter ink 😆

This is the best description I've read about shiny Espeon's coloring.
