Shiny Pokemon That Look Exactly Like Their Normal Counterparts

[Blue Dragon]

I believe that because they have made so many different pokemon with so many different colours and variations they seem to put in more effort on a select few like the shiny charizard and rayquaza. As for the rest like the common Graveler and the weaker species they seem to get lazy and blob them with one ugly colour.

If you notice that Onix, Steelix, Graveler, Golem and others all seem to have an orange to golden splash of colour. And that's why I think they have only changed shiny colours slightly in some pokemon (garchomp, Zapdos etc). They seem to look like rush jobs if you ask me.

Palkia dosen't look much different, just redder.

I love Shiny Mothim. Finding it is really tough, as I have to check which one is which all the time, and I have a chance to hatch a stupid Wormadam (Whose colors are almost the same as her shiny, too). >_<

 

[turtlekid]

Ya I don't understand why they have some be so similar. I think Feebas is pretty close but can't quite remember. Shinies should definatly be something you see and go Wow! for example I think a shiny caterpie looks wicked cool! and rayquaza looks amazing.

 

[Fleeg]

Hmm.. Let's see: Togepi, Glaceon, Leafeon, Xatu, Blissey etc.


I could go on forever.

I was a little disapointed to eevee's leafeon's and glaceon's shiny form. They look just a bit brighter than the original...

I'd have to say that Vullaby and Mandibuzz also are pretty hard to tell apart:

shiny:

normal:

shiny:

normal:

It's only a darker shade of pink and the wings are gray on the normal but it's a pretty hard one to notice if you weren't paying attention.

I dunno about Vullaby and Mandibuzz. The tuft of feathers at the base of the neck are pretty obviously a different color.

 

[British Banette]

bibarel. it doesnt have too much of a differance.

 

[Mijzelffan]

The only one I really can't see the difference between is Garchomp. I wonder if they did that on purpose.

 

[pokemoll]

I dunno, because there lots I can list.

Ah, my faveourite pokemon. Leafeon. Its just a different shade of green ¬_¬

Aren't shiny Geodude gold...?

 

[TFSpock]

Reshiram and Zekrom. Changing eye color doesn't make them shiny...

 

[hurristat]

Aren't shiny Geodude gold...?

They are, but they're quite similar to regular Geodude if you're not paying attention. Especially in Gen III, they're fairly close...

Ohh that makes more sense, I thought 4th gen thats why.

Shiny Garchomp and normal Garchomp look way too similar. I remember getting mad at someone who traded me a Shiny Garchomp once. It looked like a normal one, and I was about to report them until I saw that the Shiny variations look a lot like the normal variations. It was my own fault for not doing the research, but I wish there was more contrast between the two sprites.

Reshiram's tail rings are a different color as well.
