Ugliest Shiny Pokemon

Many Shinies, like Gengar, only have this faded/washed out color due to Gamefreak desaturating the colors in videogames in DP-era and onwards. Sadly… Sugimori loves his art so much that he never intervened with this bad decision and just went with it.

How has no one mentioned the only one with ugly actually in it’s name, purugly. By definition would be the ugliest shiny.

The fact that Oddish’s original art design was this

but I ended up with this as a shiny

is incredibly heartbreaking.

IDK, i think having the grey tone, like the life has been drained from it, is perfect for a ghost.

I think it would be better if it was actually grey. When you see the side by side comparison it’s obvious but when you see one in the wild it’s easy to miss :frowning:

Haters will hate, but I think shiny Chansey looks awesome.

For me it’s the Chikorita line. My favorite starter, but the shiny is just dead plant color. Because I want my Pokémon to be a dead plant…
