The Unova Shinies Unprecedented in Pokémon GO – Part Twelve

Even though the Unova region was only launched in Pokémon GO just over a year ago, many of its species have already launched their Shiny forms. Even though many Shinies have not been released, they are in the game code and available for us to see. Let’s take a look at some Unova Shinies that haven’t been released yet. Pokémon GO.

  • Stunfisk: Although it almost looks like you have thrown a manila folder on the floor, I think there is something charming about Stunfisk. In its shiny form, it looks … well, it looks like the fallen manilla paste has a blue tab. This means that we cannot love this Pokémon? No. No, no.
  • Golett, Golurk: This is a subtle change that makes for a Shiny S-Tier. The blue / green of Golette is replaced by a darker and gray version of the same palette, which makes the bright green stand out even more. This is the perfect example of a Shiny in which a smart and subtle change makes all the difference in the world.
  • Pawniard, Bisharp: these two lose their red to a blue and a dirty white, which makes Pawniard look a little bit like a Lego and Bisharp even more like a Power Ranger. Although this seems a little strange here in static form, it can be one of those Shinies that looks best on the screen. After all, there is a rare incredible Bisharp brilliant hologram letter on the Pokémon TCG: Steam Siege expansion.
  • Bouffalant: The rose gold Buffalo is here! It’s a strangely elegant Shiny for a Pokémon that otherwise looks like a real-life animal that stole a Shiny Reshiram’s gold rings.
  • Vullaby, Mandibuzz: Basically, they said “Let’s paint these two”. It works, making Vullaby and Mandibuzz look like classic cartoons to color vultures.

Then, we continue our focus on the Unova Shinies unprecedented in Pokémon GO. Stay tuned!
