Top Ten Best Shiny Pokemon
Umbreon, known in Japan as Blacky, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It is a Dark-type evolution of Eevee, introduced in Generation II. Umbreon evolves when Eevee gains a high friendship level during the nighttime. Shiny Umbreon is a very simple shiny, but it works.
My favorite thing about Shiny Umbreon is that it doesn't only get blue rings, but it gets yellow eyes.
None of the Eeveelutions, aside from maybe Sylveon, come even close to being as awesome as Shiny Umbreon.
I have a 100% legit one in Platinum I got with the Pokéradar on my second Eevee encounter. I haven't found a shiny with the Radar since, only a random shiny Wingull I found when EV training said Umbreon on Tentacool.
I named it Blue (real original, I know). It has Toxic, Protect, Payback, and Swagger for the Battle Frontier. Not the best set, but it does its job.
Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species created by Ken Sugimori. It first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and has since appeared in merchandise, spinoff titles, and various adaptations. Shin-ichiro Miki, who voices James in the original Japanese anime, also voices... read more Charizard is my favorite Pokemon for a good reason. It was my first starter, and back then, I had no idea what a shiny was. But then I found it - the amazing black fire lizard.
The red on its wings makes it look more majestic than it already is. And that shade of black... This is truly amazing.
Wasn't Charizard different at first?
EDIT: What I meant was that the original shiny far, far back was a shade of greenish-blue. Now it is the more iconic black.
It's black and red, representing hot red fire! What else do you want?
Metagross, known in Japan as Metagross, first appeared in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is a Steel and Psychic-type Pokémon and the final evolution of Beldum. Metagross is known for its high intelligence, powerful physical attacks, and balanced stats, making it a favorite in competitive battles. Not only is Metagross the only shiny I ever owned, but the silver and gold on Metagross look so good. I also love shiny Zygarde, but I prefer Metagross.
Best mon to shiny hunt Masuda style. Its difficulty to get adds to the specialness of the shiny, besides being ridiculously awesome.
Metagross looks so beast with silver and gold. And when the one you get in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire mega evolves, it takes its coolness to the max.
Rayquaza (pronounced "ray-quay-zah") is a Dragon/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It serves as the mascot for the game Pokémon Emerald. Rayquaza can Mega Evolve into Mega Rayquaza if it knows the move Dragon Ascent and is not holding a Z-Crystal... read more In Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, I have an awesome, mega-evolving, shiny black Rayquaza that is adamant-natured with max attack. It looks so badass and can destroy literally everything.
Since this thing mega evolves without a mega stone, I gave it a Life Orb, and this thing can easily tank anything. I love it!
Honestly, Rayquaza is the best shiny I know. It's not like you run into a giant black badass dragon every day.
Rayquaza is just a boss when he's shiny. Not to mention he is the most talked about shiny in the Pokemon games.
Giratina is a Legendary Pokémon that first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It became the mascot of Pokémon Platinum, where it plays a central role in the game's story. Giratina is associated with the Distortion World and represents antimatter in the Pokémon lore. This thing looks great with blue and silver stripes. I traded my Genesect for one, but then sadly I traded it for a Keldeo.
It was well worth it, though, because Keldeo is my favorite Pokemon, and I had been trying to get it for months.
Giratina is probably my favorite Shiny Legendary. The change from red to neon blue worked very well with the color swap of its gold and silver parts.
Greninja is a Water/Dark type Pokemon introduced in Gen 6. It is the evolved form of Frogadier and the final evolved form of the water starter Froakie. Aside from the usual Torrent ability all Water starters have (Which raises the power of its Water moves), it also has the ability Protean, which changes... read more I can't lie to myself - shiny Greninja is and always will be the best shiny in the Pokemon world. -TheAuraGuardian
Very fast and powerful. When Ash used him, he could win many battles.
This one looks like an actual ninja.
Yveltal is a fictional creature in the Pokemon Franchise. Introduced in the 6th gen, Yveltal is a legendary Dark/Flying type Pokemon, and is the mascot of Pokemon Y. It is classified as the Destruction Pokemon. Yveltal has the ability to absorb life energy, and when its life comes to an end, it steals... read more It's my first-ever game, Pokemon Y, and when I found out this was shiny, I was crazy. Sucks to those people who prefer 2D games...
Come on, guys, it's a badass flying bacon. And it should be number one.
Zorua, known in Japan by the same name, was first introduced in Generation V in the games Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. Zorua is a Dark-type Pokémon known for its ability Illusion, which allows it to take the appearance of other Pokémon to mislead opponents. It later received a Hisuian form in... read more The cyan goes really well with black, making it shine more (no pun intended).
Its evolution is also pretty nice. Zoroark adds a great, strong purple to its hair, making it shine even more. Shiny Zoroark is pretty nice as well.
The one thing Zorua gets recognition for other than in the Zoroark movie is its shiny. It's that good though!
The blue accents look really good on Zorua.
Luxray, known in Japan as Rentorar, is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Luxio starting at level 30, which itself evolves from Shinx at level 15. Luxray is known for its x-ray vision, which allows it to see through solid objects. Luxray is already my favorite Pokemon, and that golden shiny only makes it so much better.
The gold and the black go together really well and make this shiny cool!
Luxray looks like a grand pharaoh with those colors.
Azelf, known in Japan as Agnome, is a Legendary Pokémon species introduced in Generation IV. It is part of the Lake Guardians trio alongside Uxie and Mesprit. Azelf represents willpower and is known for its Psychic-type abilities.
The Newcomers
The navy blue becomes silver and the yellow becomes a light green, and it looks amazing!

Gigalith is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V in the games Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. It evolves from Boldore when traded. Gigalith can have one of three abilities: Sturdy, Sand Stream, or its hidden ability, Sand Force, and it is known for its high Attack and Defense... read more Brings a new color palette to the rock type that looks insanely cool. The blue really pops.
It looks just so much rarer and more precious in black and blue!
Best shiny, looks so beautiful, and I'm glad I have one.
Gallade, known in Japan as Erureido, is a dual-type Psychic and Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from a male Kirlia when exposed to a Dawn Stone. Gallade is admired for its elegant, sword-like arms and its knight-like personality. It can also Mega Evolve into Mega Gallade when... read more I do also think that Mega Gardevoir is cooler as a shiny, but this Pokemon as a shiny looks so cool with the blue and gray!
It's also just a cool Pokemon all around.
Actually was in my dreams before it came out - the normal form and shiny.
What? How is this not rated higher? Shiny Gyarados is way better than shiny Giratina and Gigalith!
While not as rare as other shinies (Lake of Rage in some game or other), red Gyarados looks freaking awesome!
The original, and for some reason, I like red shinies like this one and Duskull and Skorupi.
Shiny Mega Gengar actually looks like a ghost with the amazing color change to white. This should not be in the 76th spot for sure.
Top 10 in my opinion.
Why is he only number 50? White Mega Gengar looks amazing.
Ho-Oh, known in Japan as Houou, is a Legendary Pokémon species introduced in Generation II. It is the mascot of Pokémon Gold and is notable for its majestic, phoenix-like appearance. Ho-Oh plays a major role in Pokémon mythology and was the first Legendary Pokémon shown in the animated series, appearing... read more The subtle gold and silver mix with opaque sky-blue tail feathers for a different, beautiful new take on Ho-Oh that is far from an eyesore. (I'm looking at you, Weavile.)
Swampert, known in Japan as Laglarge, is a dual-type Water and Ground Pokémon. It evolves from Marshtomp and is the final form of Mudkip, first introduced in Generation III. Swampert is known for its strong physical stats and also has a Mega Evolution that boosts its power and speed.
Spiritomb, known in Japan as Mikaruge, is a dual-type Ghost and Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It is composed of 108 spirits and is known for its unusual method of being obtained by interacting with the Odd Keystone. Spiritomb does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.
Shiny Scolipede is simply gorgeous. The intense red color with blue-green rings - I love it so much.
The shiny of Scolipede just makes it look awesome.
He looks like Shy Guy from Mario.
Goomy is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI of the Pokémon franchise. It is classified as the Soft Tissue Pokémon and is often regarded as one of the weakest Dragon-types due to its low base stats. Goomy evolves into Sliggoo at level 40, and then into Goodra at level 50 when leveled... read more
Jirachi is a Steel and Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III with the release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It is easily recognized by the star-shaped protrusions on its head and a third eye on its belly... read more Got this guy as a shiny. It looks epic!
