Shiny Hunting is a time-honored tradition in Pokémon. Finding a creature with a different color palette is very special, especially when it’s already one of your favorite creatures. Not all sparkles are as remarkable – some designs feel less exciting than others – but there are some real standouts in scarlet and violet. We’ve compiled 10 of the best ones here, but you’ll find that the actual number is slightly higher. We grouped advancements and stuck with most of the new additions as players will be familiar with some of the existing shinies. Check out our selection below in alphabetical order.

flutter mane
Flutter Mane is a paradoxical form of Misdreavus that adds a Fairy-type to the usual Ghost. If you look at the Shiny, you might think that there is also Poison. This kind of sickly green isn’t common on shinys, but in this case it looks pretty good.
Girafarig / Farigiraf
Girafarigs in Paldea evolve into Farigiraf, which gains a longer neck and a more hoodie-like appearance as the tail surface overtakes the head. The really nice thing about this glossy evolution is that it uses the same pleasing blue from Girafarig. It’s a nice added pop of color on top of an already strong pattern.
Big tusk
The second paradoxical form on this list is Great Tusk, an ancient species of donphan. Funnily enough, it also wears a similar green color palette to Flutter Mane. Both Great Tusk forms appear appropriately destructive, but the shiny appearance leaves some lingering rot as it rushes across the landscape.
iron bundle
Our final Paradox pick is actually a future form: Iron Bundle, an offshoot of Delibird. All future Paradox forms have a robotic appearance, but Iron Bundle goes all-chrome with his shiny appearance like a chibi version of a Power Rangers villain.
Klawf
Klawf is a crab; There is no ambiguity there. People even eat its claws as one of the many meals you can order across Paldea. So it makes perfect sense that Klawfs is shiny blue, just like a true blue crab. It’s not often that a pickaxe this natural also contrasts perfectly with a Pokémon’s default coloring.
Lechonk / Oinkologne
Lechonk is another natural choice for one of the best shinies. The fan-favorite truffle pig is usually a darker shade, but its glossy form makes for a perfect but appropriately normal-looking pink pig. This carries over to its evolution Oinkologne, whether you have the masculine or feminine form.
Shroodle / Grafaiai
Grafaiai and his Pre-Evolution Shroodle are also fan favorites, and their shinies are among the best in Scarlet and Violet. A lot of the shinies in the game have different colored eyes and not much else, but even that one change is much more noticeable in Little Shroodle. As for Grafaiai, his luster looks almost like a negative of the standard form – quite fitting for his artistic inspiration.
Tarountula / Spidops
Tarountula is one of the first new Pokémon you’ll encounter in Paldea, and its shine immediately catches the eye thanks to a stark contrast of colors. This continues as it evolves into Spidops. The standard spider standing upright already looks cool with its green-on-yellow color scheme, but the shiny pink-on-grey almost looks like Marvel’s Deadpool.
Toedscool / Toedcruel
Both the convergent species of Scarlet and Violet made the list, starting with these offshoots of Tentacool and Tentacruel. Toedscool stands out from the shinies from all Pokemon games because it’s actually colorless – it’s a really rare look. It keeps some of that in its evolved form, and the pink wandering tentacles look great too.
Wiglett / Wugt trio
Wiglett is the other convergent species here, and her glossy form is already looking good—almost golden, in fact. If you look at the developments, this look becomes even more outstanding. Wugtrio has a reversed color scheme from Wiglett, swapping the colors of his nose and body. When you line up the two Wugtrio, you’ll see how perfectly these two classic red and blue color schemes contrast.
