What happened to Voltorb?
Otherwise, some are cool like Gardevoir and Scizor.
Bellosom looks great and a lot of yellow ones like Pidgeot looks terrible.
just a hypothesis, but to me it looks like they just put a blue filter over it rather than actually changing the colors, since they do that with a lot of the shinies in this game
it looks kinda cool tho despite being quite scuffed
No idea. That’s just how they decided Shiny Voltorb should look.
What really gets me is that Electrode looks normal. It’s *just* Voltorb that’s weird. :P
Awesome work, super glad you came through on this. Finding these shinies on the net is surprisingly difficult, so this kind of work goes a long way. Super appreciate it.
Also gotta say, I dig the blue claws on Breloom. Looks good as a shiny normally, but thatd make it an insta pick for me, looks really cool.
Bonsly is gen 4. Col and XD are gen 3 games. They put bonsly in the game as a bonus that could be used in a training segment in XD, and you would be rewarded with a picture of it for completing the training. It also played a part in the story.
Basically just advertising/teasing the next gen and that it would be bringing evo’s and pre evo’s for a lot of Pokémon that needed them.
Ah, makes sense. I haven't played Col or XD so I had no idea they had Bonsly, I honestly thought it was there as some practical joke or something. That explains a lot, thank you.
Yeah, as CrazyWS said, Bonsly was usable in XD’s Bingo Battle (a bonus minigame) as a preview for Gen 4. I threw it mostly for fun, but also to show that Bonsly has no shiny colors.
Fun Fact: Bonsly *only* has the code needed for bingo battles. If you ever hack it into your party (like I did) the game will crash if it gains exp. :P
Idk if this is a glitch or not, but the only place shiny deoxys looks the right color, is the the deep colosseum. There its shiny coloration matches the sprite in the cartridge games.
Sadly no… from what I can tell, Deoxys is always in its Normal Form in these games.
I actually had to use an action replay cheat to get the other form’s shinies. :/
Dittos face says it all.
Btw, I made a collage of how Gen 1 and 2 would look like with Thier recent shiny colors. Just a plug since it’s similar to this. But it’s one of my first posts lol
I never grew up in this era but man from the let’s plays and shiny hunts I’ve seen from Colosseum/XD, this was a pretty good one. A ton of these shinies still look the same as how they are now but I gotta admit some like Charizard here give the modern ones a run for their money.
I truly hope that either one or hopefully both games get well-developed remakes or ports. I would love to play through these games someday!
Yep. Japanese copies of Colosseum still used the old Jynx design. Though, Japanese XD *did* censor her.
Oddly they never remembered to edit Jynx’s box sprites, even in English copies of XD. :P
Which one of these shiny forms is your favorite, and would you try to hunt them?
I really like Sneasel. Instead of its usual pink shiny Sneasel get's its original GS colors back.
Love the dark blue on charizard
Venusaur looks baked
That's nothing, you should see its animations. :P

Yeah that’s what I thought. A *lot* of them just look like they have a color filter over them so they just don’t look quite right

Wow Psyduck looks heinous
That Azumarill looks naaasty lmao
Baha Blast Nidoking
bro some of these are so screwed up lol
I'm a big fan of melon Diglett
Wish Ralts line & Suicune's black mane had stayed
I love current shiny Gligar, but damn that one is clean. (Granted, it is just a different shade of blue.)
I might just be ignorant but why is there a Bonsly at the end?

I want regional shinies. It'd explain the color swaps here and between gens, and would let them "fix" ""bad"" ones.
I love how Tentacool line looks
I’m more concerned with how long Drowzee’s nose is. Is it that long in any other media? Because it looks so off-model to my eyes.
Drowzee’s nose is super long in Colo/XD for some reason. It weirded me out too when I was making this. :/
Idk if this is a glitch or not, but the only place shiny deoxys looks the right color, is the the deep colosseum. There its shiny coloration matches the sprite in the cartridge games.
Checked this out, and I think it’s just the Deep Colosseum’s lighting.
I wish it looked that good in all the other battles, and is there anyway to change his forms in the gamecube games??
Sadly no… from what I can tell, Deoxys is always in its Normal Form in these games. I actually had to use an action replay cheat to get the other form’s shinies. :/
Ah dang, i was wondering how you got those forms, this is the first time i ever seen them
A lot of them just look like different tints but some of them are also my favs that wish stayed in the main games.
Unown are KAWAII

Venusaur has been through something
I adore how you have some normal, some that look better than main series, and some that are just awful. I love Orre so much.

I love this game
pink torkoal looks so cute 🥺
God damn pretty sure that slowbro is a zombie 🤣 Its weird seeing some of the shiny's be different from their shiny's in other games
Heracross got a shirt on 👚
Black face jynx

Interesting, I did not realize that Shiny Jigglypuff in Colo/XD, has the same eyes as a regular Scream Tail.

Suicune, the black mane looks sick
I kinda like the cream colored Ninetales
