Top 10 Pokémon Justices: Shiny Pokémon

[@YourFriedBread]

You know what else is justified about Arcanine? Its hidden ability. ;)

[@speqtor]

+YourFriedBread I see what you did there B)

[@bandanan-zthatbandanaweari1121]

Your Justified the truth

[@EpicNerdsWithCameras]

Ironically, most ninja actually wore dark blue, as it stands out less than black against a dark sky. Greninja's original color is more closely representative of this.

[@Silly_Sulky_Seli]

indeed, as ninjas in black are rare it fits for the shiny to be black c:

[@jaschabull2365]

+EpicNerdsWithCameras Yep. From what I gather, it's usually stage ninjas (people acting as ninjas in plays) who wore black because that was the colour of backdrops in plays.

[@greasysmith3150]

To add to this, the ninja wore black cause the stagehands also wore black, it signified that they were inviible and the other characters couldn't see them.

[@danlorett2184]

Actually most ninjas just dressed like peasants because nobody gave a shit about peasants or would suspect anything of them.

[@archfiendgod8192]

When it's sad that you understood everything in the "science" section... and can probably further expand on the subjects. I'm such a nerd. :'(

[@kevinelnegro8498]

No you are unique

[@speqtor]

+ArchfiendGod nice :)

[@RossOriginals]

+ArchfiendGod Why is that sad? Your knowledge could lead to a good career path if you continue to nurture it.

[@archfiendgod8192]

***** Nahh m8. I'm just gonna waste my knowledge on learning movesets for competitive play.

[@RossOriginals]

ArchfiendGod That works too.

[@startheangel9760]

The Fennekin evolution lines actually make sense for being silver because they have domesticated foxes called silver foxes they was originally orange but after domesticating them they became silver the purple on Braixen and Delphox could be because wizards and witches normally wear purple.

[@startheangel9760]

***** I wonder why a shiny Zoroark isn't silver?

[@MysticUmbreon]

Speqtor the Science Guy!

[@GeorgeWKush-nh8xz]

SPEQ SPEQ SPEQ SPEQ SPEQ SPEQ SPEQ SPEQTOR THE SCIENCE GUY!

[@sarahchan4602]

Riolou and lucario's shiny looks like butter!🍵

[@raymondthompson8813]

Bill nye the science guy

[@IslaMcTear]

Phantump's shiny is way better than its original. I adore the colouring

[@AutumnOwlex]

Agreed!

[@iqd2072]

+Isla McTear its a ginger tree

[@speqtor]

+Isla McTear it's so awesome!

[@mississippiking1366]

It's so awesome

[@rambofan334]

When Callum said "If Scottland had a bird it'd be cooler" I started chuckling like crazy.

[@SanchezMonin]

2 of these have the ability, Justified.... Coinsidence? I think not!

[@bennett4789]

coincidence*

[@petscop2759]

SomeoneOnTheInternet *Plays that one Incredibles scene*

[@HawkulousGG]

some ninjas wore red to confuse the enemy and represents blood

[@pedders5161]

AND ninjas also wore navy blue as it is harder to see in the dark thanks gaijin goombah

[@vvilla5316]

I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, but nucleic acids and proteins are not the same things. They are completely different monomers, basic components that when combined with one another make a bigger molecule, and comprise DNA. Guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine are all nucleic acids, not proteins. Hopefully I didn't come off like a douche for pointing this out, but I don't want misinformation to get spread around.

[@hufflepuffchef5013]

Regular Greninja is actually more accurate for ninjas as they hardly ever wore black but either dark blues and grays as black actually stands out more as it is more of a solid colour.

[@nobleneed]

True I learned it from game theory

[@ryanmurphy7474]

Lucario's hidden ability is Justified

[@Dapuffster]

I'm surprised you didn't put Delphox on this list for the same reason as Greninja. The purple colors really fit Delphox as a Psychic type. Personally it's my favorite shiny of all.

[@zoruasnivy]

+Dapuffster Woahhhhh didn't expect to find you here XD

[@KaitlynFedrick]

ATC and G are not proteins they are nitrogenous ring structures And purple shiny marcargo looks absolutely AWESOME!

[@user-yr8vj8re5b]

Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and Green hmm... Deoxys Red, Blue, Yellow and Green... ILLUMINATI CONFORMED!

[@rentheadangelcollins]

YES!!! My mascot is #1 with its "sibling" Pokemon! But you did leave out one cool detail about Ninetales SPECIFICALLY, which might push it just slightly over Arcanine in this: It's already gold, and Vulpix's shiny is gold as well, so the shiny Ninetales is automatically something that was gold/is usually gold, turning silver, which fits SO well with the games shinies were introduced into. But, I am obviously biased. Ninetales has ALWAYS been my favourite pokemon, since a friend introduced me to the franchise in 1998. Since then, Ninetales has just been a mascot and good luck charm for me. It was the first ever Pokemon card I found(facing up in the first pack I opened), one of the coins in the first pack of battle coins I got, and Vulpix was even the first shiny I ever caught(though, not the first I found, which was a Tentacool I ran from, thinking it was a glitch like MisingNo)! I even have the icon you see next to this comment tattooed on my right arm, because of how important Ninetales has been to me for the majority of my life. And to this day, I always make certain I have a shiny Vulpix/Ninetales in my game to head my team! He really means a lot to me, so I'm REALLY happy to see him at the top of this list!

[@Yamidoragon]

Don't forget to go to Japan and pop a charm in an Inari shrine then :D cute story btw

[@rentheadangelcollins]

Yamidoragon LOL If I ever get the chance XP

[@opaattack]

Shiny Greninja actually *doesn't* make sense! In real life, the black would make him stand out in the darkness! Real ninjas actually wore a sort of navy blue.

[@thesalinator3557]

gaijin goomba?

[@opaattack]

***** I'm not really being harsh, just spouting fun facts

[@thenerdbeast7375]

Actually red is really hard to see in the dark, so it doesn't detract from shiny greninja's stealth.

[@6shooter501]

FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED MY FAVORITE POKEMON, CARBINK!!!!!!!

[@ikeanduha5715]

Shiny Swirlix should be here I mean it's Chocolete cotton candy

[@alcor3372]

Should've been blue.

[@killua6970]

+MenasArts agreed

[@Yamidoragon]

Maybe they proceeded to lick the screen it appeared on like I do everytime, and had to skip it :D

[@akasalu4396]

does anybody else actually like shiny espeon?

[@mobilephonedoespie1175]

I like shiny espeon

[@brockaston8241]

Am I the only one who feels like lucario's shinies should be the silver color swap in smash bros brawl?

[@yvhv4064]

no i agree

[@nobleneed]

Never fuck you

[@maidenlass]

Lucario should be number 1, it's literally justified!

[@Sebastian-tm6hk]

I see what you did there.

[@Axellian]

ayyyyyy me I'm number 9

[@jasonvogel4353]

Lol

[@Silly_Sulky_Seli]

9 likes for you :P

[@adriankhan298]

how are you so awzome?!

[@LiveHedgehog]

Yeah, Phantump and Trevenant's shinies are awesome.

[@vraltz1558]

I knew shiny ninetails would be on this list!

[@jmell458]

Shiny Trevenant just reminds me of a ginger dude with overgrown body hair...

[@damionwilliams5940]

tbh. Lucario would be better off either Gold, or Black, like in Smash 4.

[@localbtsfancam]

tfw you heard that shinies were just palette swaps so youre confused almost entirely by this list. was I lied to ???

[@notruminari5668]

Shiny Magcargo is kinda like Poison/Rock type

[@redeyedgamerz]

the kitsune has a much more in-depth backstory. That was a mythology injustice right there.

[@skyefleming1902]

Hey, fun fact for Diance and Carbink! Pink and blue diamonds are things that exist and are more sought after and worth tonnes more than clear/white diamonds! And depending on the clarity and the hue, I'd say that the vibrant blue and pink would be worth even more than their already beautiful and highly desired gems.

[@holdommi7505]

Awesome video you two

[@jeremyjones595]

I would have preferred a shiny white/silver Arcanine to match the real life white tiger.

[@rentheadangelcollins]

+Jeremy Jones Well, to be fair, Arcanine is based on akita dogs, NOT tigers. www.moonlightakita.com/images/Stitches/Stitches2a.11-04.jpg

[@origiginal8056]

Little known fact is that shinies aren't planned, they are just the next color pallette over. That's why the 3 eeveelutions just go to the next color, because they go to the next color over.

[@catkoicalico9999]

This was a pretty good list, I applaud you. I'll admit, there's a few others that didn't get a mention that I feel should have, but I did really enjoy the list! You two are great!

[@thogthemighty7960]

One of the main reasons Lucario is piss golden, is he is based off the Egyptian god Anubis who is portrayed in sculptures made of black obsidian and yellow gold.

[@habit1363]

Just so you guys know, Shiny pokemon prior to Gen 6 were not colored by what they were inspired from. pre-gen 6, they just went one color palette over in the game's data. That's why a lot of similar colored pokemon have similar shinies or why some shinies barely change at all. There are exceptions, like Charizard and Gyarados, though, who's shiny palettes were made specifically for them. Gen 6 May be something similar, but there is a lot more variety in their shinies.

[@NoBrakes219]

“Jaffar’s staff, the Pokémon” that killed me xD

[@shadowpyre]

How many people pointed out that real ninja DID actually wear blood red? It was meant to strike fear into those that saw them at night. Also, ninja didn't often wear black, either. They wore dark/navy blue and (as metioned before) blood red. The dark/navy blue was much more stealthy at night, and the ninja knew this.

[@ssj99lucario]

Another reason for number 4 being justified is because Riolu and Lucario's signature move is basically a kamehameha and there shiny makes them super saiyan

[@KaibaTheKing]

the bright red tongue on greninja is inspired by how ninjas would were red scarves to have a flash of color that blinded opponents when they jumped out of the dark. Red it one of those colors that surprise your eyes

[@ThePaperFlowers]

the shiny phantump line is one of my faves and I'm so glad I randomly came across on in my last run of XY

[@Simmlex]

You mean Arceus bless Unova XD

[@jaredhammerman3432]

what happened to the top 5 type videos? i only ask because i forgot you did some but was reminded because of the recommendations on the right

[@speqtor]

+Jared Hammerman They're not gone, they just take a bit of work, and I've been super busy with this video lol

[@jaredhammerman3432]

oh ok. looking forward to it :)

[@TheSpeep]

1:55 though real ninja actually wore (dark) blue rather than black since black wouldve still left a silhouette in front of the (dark) blue night sky, during the day they actually wore normal farmers clothes, because you know, wraping your body in all black bandages and hiding your face is way less suspicious than just normal old farmer clothes

[@Lavallo1209]

YES I'm on the list!!!!

[@TheDuckOverlord]

I feel like this list had a much better concept behind it, and hopefully you continue this sort of decision making and word choice in your injustice series from the second video on.

[@smolbrain6713]

4:25 Thanks speqter that just made my day

[@ShaggyTheAwakened]

well for carbink and diancie the color of the diamond part is scientificaly justified as diamond can take different colors depending on metal impurities included in the diamond. the colors can range from blue to pink/red and even yellow and green .

[@arlenecardona2586]

That secondary eeveelution color thing blew my mind

[@taylorrubin302]

Kecleon actually had very fitting colors because it's pokedex entry states that it can change its body any color except for the zig-zag on it's stomach. It's very fitting to have an abnormal change in color be the one thing it can't change. The pink Kecleon wouldn't be special because any Kecleon can do that but no normal Kecleon can change the color of it's stripe.

[@emet0526]

am i the only one that likes shiny lucaria and riolu?

[@person5374]

emet052 no, I like them too!

[@facekick0395]

emet052 not at all

[@shadycharlotte9144]

Ninjas often incorporated RED into their suits as to resemble blood. This is to try and scare the enemy. It was often in areas along the chest, stomach, or neck. Really ANY vital spot. His red tongue looking like a red scarf actually makes more sense and is a BETTER justice than most on the list.

[@shadycharlotte9144]

Tyrantrums shiny colour isn't justified. You said it was for the "Royal blue", BUT the " royalty colour" is actually PURPLE. This is because purple dye was the hardest to get produced. Meaning only the rich and powerful could have it. 9/10 to get GOOD purple you had to be part of the actual Royal family. Meaning Tyrantrum being blue makes no sense other than to look cool.

[@sapphirII]

Actually Carbink's and Diancie's change in their gem's color is justified. Diamonds don't exist solely in a clear form, but they also exist in other colors, depeding of impurities they hold. As a parallel, take the sapphire and the ruby. In truth, they are both made of the same stone but rubies are colored by traces of iron and sapphire are colored by cobalt(and I think another metalic element, but I don't remember which).

[@Bear_of_light26]

While I can't be disappointed with Ninetales (My favorite shiny) at the top, I feel that the Mudkip evolution line should also be pretty high ranking in there as well. Their normal forms are blue to make it obvious that they are the water starter but their Shiny is a Pink to resemble the Axolotl which is the creature they're based off of. While Axolotls do come in other colors and some start pink and change to a different color with age, they are most known for being pink, smiley, and adorable, just like Mudkip.

[@outrage_swampert979]

Shiny Lucario actually represents the moment when Lucario go super saiyan

[@ShotgunLlama]

The amino acids that make up DNA aren't *really* those colors. I don't think you're suggesting they are, simply that in diagrams they're usually each given their own color to be represented by, but those colors can be literally anything. But hey, red, green, blue, and yellow have some... other significant qualities ya'know?

[@style7184]

merica bird fuck yeah -speqtor 2016

[@HowlingDoom]

+Lazy lapras NO ITS ONLY AMERICAN I DONT GIVE A FUCK IF THE COLOR IS FOR THE UK. THIS AMERICA BIRD NO MATTER WHAT

[@style7184]

+Lazy lapras ikr

[@style7184]

+HowlingDoom stfu

[@speqtor]

+André Zetterberg 'Merica

[@HowlingDoom]

+Lazy lapras I was just playing

[@shinymilotic778]

carbinks regular diamonds are suppose to be clear. since blue diamonds are rare thats why its shiny is SUPER blue

[@Chronopie]

All that build up, with Litwick in every title card, and they didn't mention shiny Chandelure, who go from ethereal blue-purple flames, to fiery orange. Also, Greninja is meta: its regular colour is closer to what Ninjas actually wore, while its Shiny is what people _think_ they wore.

[@BlazeTheMovieFan]

Great video, I look forward to more in the future.

[@terahgon]

I think Shiny Riolu And Shiny Lucario Both look AWESOME! (Not angry just disappointed)

[@markburnie1123]

Guys a red tonuge does make a bit of sense as red is actually a colour we struggle to see in the dark so it does match

[@icedteabee]

That other guy ruined this video

[@dracoblue23x]

I thought the lucario one was just because he looked like a super Saiyan and its voice actor in smash bros was also the voice actor for Goku.

[@Pixelflame5826]

I like shiny Umbreon and shiny Tyrantrum. Umbreon: it looks like its glowing and it can hide better like its dex entry says. Tyrantrum: it looks like cobalt that ionizes blue and is gray

[@coolbugfacts3953]

I prefer the pink depiction of Orichalcum, like in Terraria. They made pink look awesome

[@ThePaulOwnzU]

Hoodlums voice make me mad, he sounds tured all the time and doesn't like shinies or science or practically anything.

[@ThePaulOwnzU]

tired

[@SinTense643]

Agree, he sounds so done with everything. Like he doesn't want to make the video in the first place and wants to finish it as fast as possible :P

[@jaschabull2365]

Sudowoodo may not be grass type, but I'd say it represents the fall-coloured plant even better than breloom. Mushrooms don't change colour with the seasons, I think. Though red breloom still works because there are red mushrooms.

[@scraftyboi]

Hoodlum and speqtor are such bros now that they don't even have to mention in the title that they're in the video

[@williambartlett771]

The greninja shiny tongue is to represent the mark of the ninja as the ninjitsu martial art has the red belt as it's highest ranking.

[@dededeman3459]

Shiny Magearna. This is probably the only shiny that barely changes that can be justified. Basically, Magearna's regular shiny does not change. However, the original Magearna coloration's shiny is black, while the usual color is red. The reason why Magearna is gray in the present is because of the color disappearing over the years. The shiny colors of shiny Magearna faded away over the years, just like what happened with regular Magearna. Yes, I know this video was made before shiny Magearna was revealed.

[@ShikiRen]

Trevenent's shiny is just awesome. And Trevenant would propably make my Top 10 fav. Pokemon list.

[@speqtor]

+Shiki Ren I'm not sure it'd make mine, but it's still pretty cool!

[@EatnAllMyBunk]

Deoxys's shiny and normal coloration also might be referencing the 1'st gen games: Red, Blue, Yellow and Green.

[@kevindang7844]

ninjas wear blue to blend in with the moonlight

[@bsg-jay7093]

I also think Lucario's shiny pallet might also bear resemblance to Anubis, as the blue/yellow scheme is often associated with egypt

[@Yamidoragon]

That's a nice idea O-o (my Lucario is called that btw)

[@dracotias]

plus can we just talk about how Shiny Ninetales is also the most glorious thing ever?!...now all we need is for the Shiny Alonlan version to be black and we finally have a Nigitsune

[@AnthonyOnPatrol]

"Before we slide in to #1's DMs and ask it hey what's up hello." I died 😂

[@cooldaddyelite]

wtf are you on they never said that...

[@AnthonyOnPatrol]

TheElite Gaming you clearly didn't watch the full video, at 7:51 Callum clearly says "before we slide in to #1's dms and ask them "hey what's up hello", we have some honourable mentions."

[@cooldaddyelite]

TonyCantVlog he didnt say that...

[@AnthonyOnPatrol]

TheElite Gaming k seriously troll, fuck off

[@avplayergaming1017]

Btw, ninjas wore light blue, to make sure they weren't seen in front of the moon

[@trainerjei3004]

To further justify Lucario and Riolu: They're based off jackals; Golden Jackals.

[@Haugys]

i actually believed he was yellow because in the movies lucario was voiced by the voice actor of goku in dragon ball for the longest time.... lol.

[@liamolaoghaire]

This series is pretty cool, great job guys

[@speqtor]

+Shadow 7557 thanks, man!

[@danielmoran1302]

Greninja's shiny is injustice. A real ninja would wear anything but black durring the Edo Period (unless they were the upper class).

[@Riolunator]

I don't care what your explanation for Riolu and Lucario's shinies are, I think a silvery white fur would have served them better

[@cassiebrine6292]

heres some useless information wooper's shiny is highly justified because shiny wooper is a leusistic colour like most domestic axolotls (wooper is an axolotl if you didn't know most people have never even heard of an axolotl) and wooper also has the right pinkish colour on the gills too. :)

[@palathaxx]

Bro that's a beast intro you got goin on there!

[@Scottfroge]

Tbh I really like all of these shinies lmao

[@teaberry369]

Yeah sure, cause EVERYTHING in a fictional world full of fictional monsters that breath fire and set up tiny rocks that take majestic birds to half their hp HAS to make sense.

[@lauravturner]

1st time I saw that shiny phantump, I knew I needed it. It's so beautiful. Took me 9 months of on-and-off friend safari searching, but finally I got it. I found it in school, so looked really odd when I started screaming and hugging people and just generally being odd. Worth it... Now I just need an excuse to use it in battle...

[@PolarPanda73]

Riolu and Lucario's shinies aren't "piss yellow", they're GOLD (also at one point in captions it says Jennifer when Speqtor says shiny, like wtf?)

[@declanpower9523]

Acctually ninjas have been using red to help with stealth in the dark since to beginning ofthe art

[@masterchiefqw1923]

shiny riolu and lucario look amazing in my opinion, actually one of my favorites

[@milogop3574]

Hell yeah, Shiny Braviary is my main ;)

[@Larantula]

As soon as i saw deoxys on this list, i clicked the like button.

[@speqtor]

+Scribble Masterer Deoxys is pretty dope :)

[@MegaScooterMan]

I don't see why everyone hates shiny lucario. He is a awesome gold color which I think looks great. Better then shiny zapdos, and any other shiny pokemon that does not change color.

[@Narifia]

For the earlier generations, shiny Pokémon that happened to end up with really justified palettes weren't so much "creative" as they were pure blind luck. The artists didn't pick the Shiny colors--they just took on whatever palette was next in line in the game's code. This is why we end up with abominations like radioactive-green Ursaring, and why most blue Pokémon end up pink. Granted, some of these palette swaps can turn out to be perfect and have really cool implications behind them, but those implications were far from intentional. It was just, as I said, blind luck that they ended up the way they did.

[@ShotgunLlama]

Yellow. Is not. A primary color. At least, it doen't form a set of primaries with red and blue. If red and blue are the two primaries, the third that goes with them is _green_, not yellow. RBY is just a nice palette artists like to use. Yellow _can_ be a primary, but the other two that go with it are cyan and magenta. Light/additive primaries and pigment/subtractive secondaries: Red, blue, green Pigment/subtractive primaries and light/additive secondaries: Cyan, yellow, magenta

[@leiah2]

+ShotgunLlama They meant the primary colors as the three colors that you can't mix two other colors to get.

[@ShotgunLlama]

leiah2 If you mix red and green light, you see yellow. There are no two colors of light you can "mix" to get green, though.

[@leiah2]

They are not talking about light, though. Try mixing some paint and if you can mix two colors and get blue, show it to me. If you however mix blue and yellow, you get green, you have misunderstood the entire thing.

[@leiah2]

openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/rosenblattadv1100fa2014/files/2014/10/Goethe-TriangleOpenLab.jpg

[@ShotgunLlama]

leiah2 Technically with paint you'd have even more freedom with available colors by using cyan magenta and yellow rather than red blue and yellow. W/ paint, you should be able to mix cyan and magenta to get blue; it's what a color printer does all the time.

[@Ch0mp27]

I never thought about the shinies of arcanine and ninetales like that

[@catfan321]

for the longest time I thought Flareon's shiny for was its regular form

[@thecrazylucario4004]

I think im the only one who likes Lucarios shiny form, i mean i like the original colors better but it still looks cool, also I like that the yellow from its chest and the blue from pretty much everything else got reversed

[@wrubies9055]

Ninjas wore normal clothing at times to stay hidden.
