As someone who only really collects shinys I would love to see any other up for debate shinys to see if I would like to add them to my collection

Hmm, but it’s pink & the shiny is clearly supposed to be purple. It seems more like the pink Butterfree from the anime or the purple Kecleon from Mystery Dungeon. These aren’t considered shinies so Train is kind of right in a way.

Always sorta disliked these up for debate shiny cards. Just make them official shiny cards lol.

I’m more interested in cards considered artistic liberty like Sabrina’s espeon.

Another card I’ve always kinda considered shiny, even though it isn’t, is Skyridge Abra:

Even though it’s lighting, Abra matches the pale yellow skin of the Gen 2 shiny sprite:

That’s whole point of this thread…

Resurrecting this thread to pop one in that kind of fits: Base 1st edition/Shadowless Venusaur.

The green body & orange flower on the card fit how they later decided to depict Venusaur as a shiny in G&S. Possibly the inspiration for the colour palette, perhaps?
