Name some Pokemon that need better shinies! Like Gengar, Gimmighoul/Gholdengo, and Garchomp. I mean, they changed Combusken's shiny so why can't they change all the other ones?

    IMO garchomp has kinda changed since the jump from 2D to 3D it's alot noticeable now, but it could be a darker shade of black instead of being a shade of grayish blue

    Shiny Dragapult is so meh, I wish it kept shiny Dreepys coloration instead of changing the reds to yellow

    There's 2 major categories bad shinies fall into: shinies that are hardly different and green shinies.

    You got your Gengars, Garchomps, ZAPDOS, Baxcalibur, Pikachu, Lefeon, and of course, how could anyone forget Gholdengo. Honestly you could do ANYTHING with these shinies and theyd be better. Anything except making them green.

    Ah green shinies. I'm sorry but they gotta go. Espeon, Dragonite, Salamence, Hydreigon to name a few. If only they weren't green.

    Chansey and Blissey because they look the same as non-shiny. Machamp and Jolteon because they’re a horrible shade of green.

    Probably Hisuian Goodra. It’s noticable, but a missed opportunity. Got to give a honorable mention to the puke-green shinies.

    Off-hand I can think of Sprigatito line (looks similar to base, I think a decent amount of new Gen 9 pokemon are too) and Venusaur (just looks wilted)

    https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/comment/14450#Comment_14450I agree, and think the same of Articuno, and maybe even Moltres. Blue fire Moltres? Black Zapdos? There’s so much potential.

    @RiqMoran Certain Pokémon look good in green, like Shiny Scizor. I agree that most don’t. I also agree that all the ones you listed fall into the “why is this green?” category, as well as many others.
