Man people need to leave shiny Kommo-o alone, they just can't handle the peak lemonade dragon

[@MyNaymIsSnek1526]

I agree.

[@UnsettledSoldier]

Real

[@rockowlgamer631]

I agree that I can't handle it, that color of pink and puke yellow is terrible.

[@adamgarrett7209]

@rockowlgamer631 My sincerest apologies, if your puke is that shade of yellow I gotta reccomend seeing a doctor. Could be something serious

[@cryper_130]

i understand why people like black and white shinies but if we make all shinies black and white it will get boring real quick

[@TamValleyProductions]

Good point!

[@EspyJuju]

White Ursaring is absolutely underrated. Love that design!

[@domidoodleYT]

The Zangoose-Seviper palette swap is like my dream shiny(s), I think about it all the time

[@cottoncoffin]

this was cool but there’s a lot of bias for black shinies, would’ve liked to see some difff ideas

[@jgr7487]

Gengar's shiny isn't the problem. Normal Gengar having been darkened to the point it's almost the same as the shiny form is the problem.

[@TamValleyProductions]

🤔

[@jgr7487]

@@TamValleyProductions Gengar was originally the color you wanted to give its 1st alternative shiny: purple.

[@payrysdoscs4903]

Oh look, another mon that got screwed by the 3D transition.

[@frostbyte2899]

This is the same for Garchomp too

[@VessIGuess]

​@@frostbyte2899If anything Garchomp's Shiny has gotten better over time, still subtle, yeah, but it looks more distinct now than it did in past gens.

[@indesomniac]

I love the sun-moon Kommo-o version! I also really like the color-swapped Archen, moving around the pre-existing colors is really fun idea

[@TamValleyProductions]

Sun-moon Konmo-o definitely grew on me.

[@matthewthefunnyman2788]

Those final counterpart shinies are amazing, I’d love to see a full video on more of those alone, even if the original shinies are already fine as they are

[@payrysdoscs4903]

I adore dark pink and black together.

[@UnsettledSoldier]

I like OG shiny espeon because it rlly reminds me of an alien and fits that vibe

[@whoever806]

Personally, I think Leafeon and Gogoat have great shinies already. I can understand disliking Leafeon's shiny in current generations where shinies have become more muted, but shiny Leafeon in Gen 4 is absolutely beautiful. I spent a couple hundred hours in Platinum resetting for a shiny Eevee just so I could have a shiny Leafeon!

[@payrysdoscs4903]

A lot of shinies got screwed by the 3D models, Leafeon being one of them. Some Pokemon's regular colors got screwed too (insert Lanturn)

[@Nosretep]

Leafon barely changes.

[@abunchofnumbers7581]

I didn’t know people didn’t like shiny Crobat. I like that one the pink is fun. That the only one I disagree with. Otherwise your made some great alternative versions

[@TamValleyProductions]

The pink looks good, I just think it depends on the sprite or model! I think it can look really good in certain games or lighting conditions but can also look kinda ugly.

[@payrysdoscs4903]

Some people just can't stand that shade of pink and that shade of green together. If the shades were the same that they were on Golbat's shiny, people would probably like Crobat's more than they do now.

[@smargio]

I don't dislike Crobat's shiny. I just think it would look amazing with zubat's color scheme. I'd shiny hunt for that. As is, I just find the current crobat shiny to be inoffensive.

[@themasterblaze7563]

Ngl the washed out colours of Shiny Ttar have grown on me because they remind me of barren and dry grass fields which kinda speaks to me because many of it's dex entires says it just causes enough damage that maps have to be redrawn. Yeah, it makes mountains into plains where the dry grasses and sandy, dry soil is.

[@TamValleyProductions]

Good reasoning!

[@hankbadank1701]

Hisuian Typhlosion's shiny is super underwhelming, the color of the flames don't even change!!

[@Spottedstorm27]

As far as counterparts, I did a volbeat/illumise color swap that I thought turned out pretty neat, even if I like their original shinies. And I agree that seviper definitely looks the best of the two! ^_^

[@mysticmaya9426]

I love the cyclizar idea. Like what if the shiny was version exclusive too? That would have been such a unique approach

[@TamValleyProductions]

Now that’s a great idea!

[@MousaThe14]

Espeon is one of my favorite Pokémon but green is also my least favorite color so I always saw it as a prime example of one of the worst Shiny trends of “it just turns green.” Anything was an improvement. I do like what you’ve done with Leadeon and Gogoat, I always thought one of the best things to do with grass Pokémon is to release “the autumn palette” because it’s such a pretty idea.

[@TamValleyProductions]

The autumn palette never fails!

[@espurrito4319]

Great vid! It’s awesome seeing all the shinies me and other people on stream helped pitch in to change

[@lilcsto]

the third ursaring kind of reminds me more of a sun bear than a panda : O

[@pyrusblade39]

Seviper and Zangoose do look good. But I'm a little disappointed cause their shinies already matched very well. Zangoose and Seviper's claws/fangs/blades match with the others scars. Zangoose red scars, dark blue claws, and Seviper blue scars and red fangs/blade. Their shinies then reverse that. Zangoose goes blue with red claws, and Seviper shows red scars and blue fangs/blades

[@giboit.]

I want to see a shiny version of gothitelle with inverted colors: White dress and hair with black color for the bows and for the little disks at the wrists as well. With light purple eyes, maybe light pink for the face and dark purple for the libs. To represent the psychic. It would even fit really well thematically because white is also a very common color for the whole ghotic aesthetic.

[@TamValleyProductions]

Beautiful idea!

[@honkaidragonslayer7178]

Glaceon definitely needs a revamp, as does Regice and Zapdos, for Zapdos in particular I thought of simply making its beak and talons an electric blue color while keeping it yellow, not a huge change but I think one that could fit well. Though to really wanted to ramp it up, it could also have the body color change to a storm cloud black/gray

[@samuelmoura3229]

Love this, i wish they made more shiny variations for pokémon instead of just 1 single shiny

[@TamValleyProductions]

Right? It’s such a great idea.

[@felipedematos8753]

Probably unpopular opinion I think ALL recolors you did for Garchomp are even better than the regular non-shiny color scheme Side note, that second Archen variant with the swapped pallet REALLY looks like Woody Woodpecker and I love it

[@TamValleyProductions]

Thank you! I’m glad you like em.

[@seaweedbrain2]

For vanillite line we could add a scoop of different flavour with each evo rather than having three distinct shinies

[@TamValleyProductions]

I like that idea

[@megarayquaza2240]

Aw, the ceruledge and armorouge shinies didnt make thw cut?

[@TamValleyProductions]

I never completed them! Perhaps next time!

[@GravityBouncer]

all great concepts! i do find it funny that people hate drastic color swaps for some shinies. i personally can’t stand the Garchomps and Pikachus of the game. Kommo-o and Crobat are super cool, pink and green aren’t clashing colors just because they are nearly opposite on the color spectrum!

[@isoultanic6200]

I never thought I could see someone make worse shiny than a pokemon that has a bad shiny but doing it three times is crazy

[@Dinamosaur]

A shiny Pokémon that would greatly benefit from changing the original's pallette is my personal favorite: Salamence. Swapping the red and the cyan would've been so much cooler than doing the 12-millionth green shiny.

[@TamValleyProductions]

Oh that would be a good idea… red salamander would go crazy.

[@RebeccaMagic9]

if this video got a sequel, charcadet, armarouge, and ceruledge all need better shinies. just two concepts for upgrading their shinies off the top of my head would be: 1: palette swapping armarouge and ceruledge (so that armarouge becomes purple and ceruledge becomes yellow/red) and making charcadet copy ceruledge's normal colours rather than armarouge's colours. 2 (my personal favourite): giving charcadet's shiny grey armour and red flames, armarouge's shiny white armour and gold flames, and ceruledge's shiny black armour and purple flames to reference white knights, black knights, and a squire that has yet to choose their path (and the grey for charcadet can also reference grey charcoal/ash as well)

[@TamValleyProductions]

Oh yeah! I’d love to take those on.

[@fabihanudrat3971]

I actually really like shiny crobat but i also love the blue crobat that you designed👍🏻

[@princembat]

i genuinely kinda like kommo-o's canon shiny, though id personally change the green lol. green and pink can be such a nice color palette, but yellow-y green is a... very iffy color in general imo

[@FanOfAnimation]

Some ones I wish: -Torterra with a cherry blossom. -Mimikyu with more pikachu colored ones (love Mimikyu’s shiny) -anything besides chrome for the paradox future pokemon

[@TamValleyProductions]

Great ideas!

[@ZillaGuy15]

I love garchomp so much and as a shiny hunter I always just get a shiny Gible and just never evolve it 💀

[@corey2232]

The only "bad" shinies to me are ones that have just a slightly different tone of the same color, making them barely noticeable. Even the "worst" off color shiny is better than Regice or Zapdos shinies to me 😅

[@TamValleyProductions]

Agreed!

[@choicedecision]

Love the options you provided! I have a small list of shinies that I’d like to see what you might come up with. Missed opportunities: some Pokemon that may not have bad shinies per se stray from their base/final form that it would be neat to see how they would look if they were more streamlined, like Alakazam, Golduck, Poliwrath, Dragonite, Vigaroth, Sharpedo, Musharna, Roggenrola Then there are the ones whose shinies could definitely use some TLC, like Tauros, Flareon, Chansey, Groudon. I hope it’s not too long a list I’ve put down, but I hope you get a chance to look at some of these and see what you come up with. Cheers!

[@TamValleyProductions]

Amazing ideas!

[@Subatomicfish]

Sneasler is one of my favorite Pokémon and I was kinda disappointed when I saw it’s shiny, particularly contrasted with Hisuian Sneasel’s shiny which is really cool stark black and yellow. I used to wish they just kept the exact same color pallet as it’s prevo, but once I thought more about it I guess that would either mean way too much complete black or eye-stinging yellow. I’m learning to love it as it is, especially because its claws are still excellent. I’ve tried to look up fixes before but never found any! I’d love to see your takes!

[@TamValleyProductions]

Ohhh, I’ve never even considered the Hisuian batch. Nice ideas!

[@GatoradeSaborApple]

i love shiny ursaring, i wish ursaluna was green as well

[@UnchainedPandoran]

I’ve never liked Darkrai’s shiny despite it being my favorite Pokémon. Seeing a recolor that actually does him justice would be nice.

[@Talia_Foxx]

11:24 Is the image that finally made me realize that the school uniforms resemble their respective legendaries. I thought they were just based on complimentary colors (blue to contrast orangey-red and yellow to contrast purple). Seeing these colors side-by-side like this is what made it click after a year and a half of seeing the same color schemes every time you launch the game. I feel kinda dumb for never noticing it before though lmao.

[@shest2475]

You should try color swapping Heatmor and Durant as the next pair

[@TamValleyProductions]

Oooh. A fire ant would look soooo cool.

[@coolguy93362]

I think a marshadow shiny would be dope if when it became zenith form it gaines either a super saiyan gold look or it got shiny zorua' white and blue colors. Or it's base gray in regular mode is full white and the zenith mode is primarily a lighting blue with gold tips.

[@mapachiquito3523]

Finally,a good video about this topic

[@chasecarlson4900]

Emerald Espeon is perfect; doesn’t need a single change

[@jazzercise300]

Also im starting to realize im in the small camp that loves muted, earth tone kinda shinies with a small pop of color like tyranitar and volcarona.

[@luxuryballer2216]

Man, I don't remember *where* I saw it but I saw a recolor of Ursaring that changed the bright green into a deep, dark forest green and that looked SOOOO good.

[@COMETINMOOMINVALLEY]

I love shiny espeon because it makes him look like a little alien. 😭😭

[@justadude450]

I actually do like regular shiny Garchomp. The grey and orange are pretty clearly different if you actually look at it and don't just go with what everyone else says about it. I definitely think it could be better, I'd personally like it to be a fully desaturated grey with a white belly like real sharks often are depicted with, I think the subtlety has a charm to it.

[@RoseSupreme]

I won't tolerate the slander towards Espeon's glorious Emerald Green colour. I know you like it btw, I'm referring to those who hate it. Your shiny takes are neat, though.

[@justintimes3265]

the third ursaring is a real life moon bear

[@Zyx8091]

8:01 Even though Shiny Hydreigon is cool, it could be golden like Ghidorah

[@nesp8207]

Volcarona shiny is super ugly, some type of vibrant blue on the wing to evocate blue flame and a pale body color would be a nice fit I think

[@TamValleyProductions]

Good idea! Noted for next time. 🤔

[@aaronfraire9073]

Honestly, for Garchomp, I think it should be grey with a white belly to make it look like a great white. As for Tyranitar, I would make it grey to make it look like classic Godzilla with a red belly. And I think Pikachu's shiny should be red with yellow cheeks.

[@10acious_D]

That winter Leafeon is sexy!

[@TamValleyProductions]

I agree! One of my favorites.

[@dee7352]

[@gackupo05]

I'd like to see a deerlin/sawsbuck shiny pallet swap

[@Hex_Maniac_Selene]

I feel like I need to vouch for my boy, I love shiny Garchomp. Obviously, it was barely noticeable, but in the 3d era they absolutely fixed it. I'll admit it's mostly because I'm attached to but also, it's a really nice color scheme. I much prefer the more muted dark colors. I know it's subtle, but it is so good. If anything, I wish they just tweaked it a little to make it more noticeable. I specifically really like that shade of orange on the stomach.

[@Hex_Maniac_Selene]

Sorry for the essay lol I just wealllly wike gawchop

[@TamValleyProductions]

Of all the subtle shinies… I will concede it looks good. At least it’s something classy. Gengar’s shiny just looks desaturated and incomplete.

[@jewels936]

Shiny Espeon looked really good in the 2D sprites imo, its just when they transitioned into 3D, shiny espeon became less neon and more dull looking.

[@nathanblackburn1193]

In my opinion Garchomp's shiny should have Gabite's more saturated blues and invert the red-orange and yellow parts, shiny Gabite should also have it's red-orange stomach changed to yellow like Gible's shiny. Ursaring could stay green but it should be a dark forest green instead of a bright neon green or it could follow shiny Ursaluna by being more of a red colour. Shiny Crobat might not be a very "cool" shiny but it actually has a reason why it's those colours, Crobat's colours are just Zubat/Golbat's colours inverted, Golbat it blue with a purple wing membrane, Crobat is purple with a blue wing membrane, shiny Golbat is green with a pink wing membrane so shiny Crobat is pink with a green wing membrane, so if you change Crobat's shiny colours then you have to change Zubat and Golbat's shiny colours to be the inverse. Pikachu should stay orange but it should be a darker orange and have different coloured cheeks, like white or yellow cheeks One issue I have with a lot of "shiny fix videos/pictures" is that the artist is more focused on making the shiny look "cool" rather than making them original like making shinies black and red or super contrasting, turning every grass type autumn colours, swapping regular colour pallets with pre-evolutions/counterparts, it ends up making all the "fixed" shiny palettes feel boring and same-y as they're just copying other shiny pokemon's colours or regular pokemon's palettes.

[@jazzercise300]

Okay last comments but everyone including me tends to forget about the Colosseum shinies Shiny Scizor in main line games: 2/10, 5/10 in SV with the retexture Colosseum and XD shiny scizor: 10/10

I would love for Purugly’s shiny to maybe be black? Play off of a real cat?

[@jazzercise300]

Better not be saying Ttar has a bas shiny. Its a top 10 for sure. Also i feel like shiny gengar is really good, just peep the gen 3 one. The 3D crossover and desaturation ruinee it. Garchomp tho is obviously one of the worst. I prefer it to the regular but theyre basically the same. The beta colors are dope. Kommo o is one of my favorite pokemon of all time tho but it has one of my least favorite shinies. I hate hot pink as well as lime green shinies. Fr shiny kommo o is so bad. I like the copper shiny. Tan embreon goes hard and fits really well. Black ursaring is dope, looks like a sun bear, like dead on. But yea, love shiny Ttar. Biege and lavender are dope.

Ceruledge and Armarouge NEED actual shiny palettes why did the in game ones only swap eye colors

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

I think it's meant to show the armor is just that, armor. Plus it is the exact same armor we give to Charcadet in the first place so might have just been a choice of consistency in the evo method.

I'm gonna stop watching this because after the first 2 i've had my fill. 2 simple criticisms, Black Shinies are very overrated, yeah its cool but maybe it should be something that has meaning instead y'know. Next Ursaring, he perfectly shows a phenomenon where if a bear doesn't clean its fur, algae grows on it similar to real life sloths. I always saw it as that and it looks nice, makes him look like a Grass type when hes not one.

[@TheBlur182]

Mostly L's tbh. I loved Cyclizar. Please do the Lati's. Have a good day

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

@@jazzercise300 You'd be surprised how many say Kommo'o has a good shiny because it's meant to be eye-catching. I mean when you make a Dragon type based on the Maori's Haka, makes sense to give it a bright coloration.

Making a shiny black and red doesn't make it good. Some shiny Pokémon lovers really do be just the most basic of people.😒 Also kommo-o's shiny is already perfect

[@SHUNTER05]

90% of this mons don't need a new shiny, and 90% of your new shiny forms are just black or white, that's kinda lame ngl

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

Yeah kind of agree, black shinies are cool but there's a reason the black shinies we do have are liked. The designs of the base pokemon just look good in black. I get he might not like super vibrant shinies but at the same time, it's a subjective thing on what would be 'better'. Like for example I think the pallets he used for Crobat just suck. Black does not land as well on him because his design is just too simple and plain to take advantage of it.

[@SHUNTER05]

@@caiusdrakegaming8087 I mean, I love black & white shinies, but if you make all the shinies black or white, it just lose what makes them special

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

@@SHUNTER05 That too. Main thing for me on black shinies is their designs have to work with the color palette. Same with white shinies. It just doesn't work it if apply them to any pokemon's shiny palette. Going back to Crobat, even ignoring the algorithm thing that supposedly was a factor in the shiny palettes for a few of the first gens, Crobat's shiny makes a lot of sense for why it's like that if you just pay attention to the line's coloration normally. Zubat and Golbat are normally blue for their main color with purple for their wings' membranes, with Crobat inverting that. The shiny pallets for Zubat and Crobat? Green main body with pink wing membranes. Crobat's? Pink main body and green wing membranes. It's still following the inversion it normally does.

[@idfkwhatyouwantfromme]

Nidoking and Nidoqueen. It was RIGHT THERE but then Gamefreak had to go and make shiny Nidoqueen green for some reason.
