Although the Unova region was first liberated Pokémon GO for just over a year, many of the species have already started their shiny forms. Although many Shinies have not been released yet, it is available in the game code and we can see it. Let’s take a look at some Unova Shinies that have yet to be released Pokémon GO.
- Stunfisk: Even though it looks like you dropped a manilla folder on the floor, I think there’s something charming about Stunfisk. In its shiny form it looks … well, it looks like the fallen manilla fold has a blue tab on it. Does that mean we can not? love this Pokémon? No. No, it does not.
- Golett, Golurk: This is a subtle change that makes for an S-Tier Shiny. The blue / green of Golette is replaced with a darker, grayer version of the same palette that makes the glowing green stand out even more. This is the perfect example of a Shiny where a clever, subtle change makes the difference in the world.
- Pawniard, Bisharp: These two lose the red for a blue and off-white, which makes Pawniard look a bit like a Lego and Bisharp even more like a Power Ranger. While it may look a little odd here in the static form, it might be one of the Shinies that looks better on screen. After all, there is an amazing Shiny Bisharp holo rare card in the Pokémon TCG: Steam Siege expansion.
- Bouffalant: The rose gold Buffalo is here! This is a strangely elegant glitter for a Pokémon that looks different from an animal that stole the gold rings of a Shiny Reshiram.
- Vullaby, Mandibuzz: They said, “Let’s make these two pink.” It works, making both Vullaby and Mandibuzz look like classic cartoons that have colored vultures.
Next, we put our spotlight on the unborn Unova Shinies Pokémon GO. Stay tuned!
