I like Shiny Decidueye

I like the shiny Gallade

[@CloverTheGoldFox]

Shiny Mega Charizard X Is Actually Turquoise-ish Or Teal With A Bluish Green Sea Green Skin Color & Da Wings & Spikes Are Red Dat Was A Regular Mega Charizard X

[@Rocketlux]

@Funny.Man101 not funny

[@RedMysticRanger]

My favourite shiny is Gliscor

[@knightofarkronia9968]

No love for Shiny Gardevoir? It’s Mega Evolution strikes a fine balance between elegant and menacing!

[@aleyahlin2411]

Seriously? Galade but not Gardevoir? That Nuke in a black dress was baller and way overpowered.

[@Vedant1356]

Agreed

[@kindracorbridge6118]

That’s what I thought!

[@caetmoniza8907]

You may be talking about Mega Gardevoir

[@CryptoPuppt]

I prefer gallade anyway and think he's 100% cooler 🥰

[@PsychicGL_Jhe]

Both of them are equally elegant and gorgeous

[@kbeatzgonecrazy]

I am not usually a shiny guy but when Gamefreak threw a Shiny Gyarados at me with HGSS, I did NOT reject it. Shiny Gyarados is something else.

[@galgrim8672]

It was in the original gen 2's also!

[@elisabethnunez4569]

One of my favorite shinies that aren't on this list is Shiny Decidueye

[@AndreWillyHarris]

Not having shiny minior on this list is crazy. sure you can probably fill the list with all black shinies, but shiny minior has the color of all of its base forms included in its design as well. i think it’s super unique as well that you can’t tell if it’s shiny unless its ability activates

[@buttercupxo]

No way!! I can't believe a clip of mine made it into the video! Haha it feels full circle, I love shiny Haxorus too! The shredder vibes are great ^_^

[@bahnohfee]

DAS CRAZY FR

[@waheedabdullah6371]

I thought we were going to get a honorable mention to include Eevee, Swellow, Sandslash, and Basculegion

[@ShayTheValiant]

My favourite shiny Pokémon is shiny Spiritomb. I love the blue and purple.

[@hectorruiz7987]

Someone with taste

[@TheLadySilverMoon]

My favorite Shinies includes: Milotic, Decidueye, Gardevoir, Altaria, Umbreon, Espathra, Whimsicott, Azumarill, Politoed, Flygon, Palossand and Greninja.

[@dorothycho2467]

I feel so lucky that my first ever full-odds shiny was a Hawlucha in Area Zero. Shiny Ho-Oh was also the first shiny-hunt I ever went on. This list brings me lots of memories!

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

🌟Loving the sparkle, these shiny Pokemon really stand out!👌

[@gharra7]

My favorite is definitely Shiny Origin Forme Giratina

[@bennetcameron1350]

Came here to say the same thing

[@waheedabdullah6371]

Don't know what the developers were thinking when they made worst shinies of Pokemon like Igglypuff, Garchomp, Armarogue & Ceruledge, Gengar, and others

[@Echo-bp7oc]

Pretty sure those three shinies were made by an algorithm but yeah they are bad

[@claudiosousa9592]

Armarogue & Ceruledge actually make sense, since the armoe is item used to evolve them, the armor doesnt change but the actual pokemon does, tinkaton is alot worse actually

[@girlsnotblue3804]

.the fist 5 generation shinies weren't made by design, they were made through an automated algorithm

[@ShayTheValiant]

​@@Echo-bp7ocI thought it was debunked that shiny colours were randomized. I heard every shiny was intentionally chosen.

[@Echo-bp7oc]

@@ShayTheValiant to be fair the Gen 9 shinies would convince me

[@julieta8683]

I love Shiny Noctowl 💕

[@Lloydproductions4171]

[@Rocketlux]

He's my favorite too

[@jaykirizz219]

Love that 9 of my top 10 favorite shiny Pokémon are all in the top 10 of this list! Just replace Noctowl with Vikavolt❤ Honorable mention to Haxorus!

[@zetsuki4207]

My one and only Shundo in Pokemon Go is a Vikavolt, not the worst! ^^ Shiny Dragonair is my all time favourite though. ^^

[@lostsoul34]

Thanks!

[@WatchMojo]

Thank you so much for your support! It's truly appreciated:)

[@ryleecobb8648]

Having Noctowl on this list is so criminal when so many good shinies were left out 💀

[@mylespando5192]

Probably chosen because it was iconic as Ash’s first and only shiny

[@Rocketlux]

Gallade looks cool as a shiny

[@dancingfool3253]

I don’t think I knew about shines until I hatched a shiny ralts/gallade in Pokémon y years ago.

[@saber5636]

I just randomly watched this, didn’t expect my clip to be in it XD cool!!

[@nebbynetwork2089]

All these shines are awsome

[@moto3112]

My favorite is Iron Thorns (obviously with my profile picture haha) the chrome color with the green looks incredible I love it so much

[@darthrage8673]

Technically, Pokemon's first shiny was Butterfree. Anyway, my favorite shinies are Groudon, Metagross, Charziard, and Gryados.

[@Griffanswing626]

The pink butterfree from the anime is not shiny

[@missmanxee]

My favorite Shiny Pokémon are Noctowl, Lycanroc midday form, Umberon, Vaporeon Rapidash, Ninetales ,Celebi, Gardavoir ,Hisuian Zorua, Zacain and Zamazenta and the legendary beast trio Pokémon 👍❤️✨

[@XtinaCMV]

Charizard as #1 feels like such a cop out.

[@shadowgirl617]

Ashley, shiny G-Max Gengar is the best shiny of its line. It glows white like the moon

[@donovan802]

I can’t be the only one who likes naming shiny Greninja after Randy Cunningham

Seeing all these rad shinies only makes me sad that Ursaring Shiny exists.

[@autumbreeze1129]

Hold on. There's was a shiny Charizard Mystery Gift in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? WHEN?! I was constantly checking for new Mystery Gifts in those games back in their heydays. When was THAT Mystery Gift done yet I never noticed?! Man, that ticks me off

[@ShimmeryKaylaAce]

I caught a female Lechonk and evolved it into an Oinkolougne! It was pink, and it looked so beautiful. 💙😍

[@camoveteran2219]

The shiny Beldum distribution was the first Beldum I ever had and, as a result, became the normal color for me. I still think the normal blue is the shiny and momentarily get excited when I see one in the wild.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Charizard and Greninja are Goated. 😃💪

[@marcusmaccartney5120]

Ima let you finish, but Palossand has one of the greatest shinies of all time.

[@jamiedungo]

I love Charizard, but... Shiny (Red) Gyarados should have been #1 on this list 🤌🏼

[@deltasrage97yt]

Shiny Rayquaza should have been Number 1

[@crusherm3316]

Noctowl was the only shiny pokemon owned by a main character, until Goh caught a shiny voltorb in the most controversial journeys episode

[@flareonjupiter2552]

Recently caught a shiny Shinx in Violet by chance... I agree that Luxray's shiny coloring is more appropriate for its type. My favorite shiny, however, is Mienshao - love the pink and white, as well as the lavender on the whiskers and above its nose 😍 - and yes I have one on my team named Kaguya.

[@jaykirizz219]

Heyyyy, I LIKE shiny Espeon! Don’t call him Radioactive! ☢️ 😢😅

[@guitarmaniacgino]

I remember playing Pokemon Crystal. I received an egg and hatched into a shiny Magby. It was pretty awesome. ❤️

[@ghost_rick_the_ghostian]

for example my favorite pokemon is gengar and you know wat that makes a lot of cence

[@Zack_san]

I don't agree with #11, because in my opinion, it's more of a disappointing Shiny than great. It should've been Hydreigon, and it's a Psudo-Legendary, and not this garbage shiny dragon. The Haxorus Shiny is just as bad as Garchomp's Shiny. If Game Freak were to change the Shiny Haxorus into Silver or Platinum, I would be falling in love with it, but it's a boring black, and I hate it. Black is not a mineral that's more viable than gold. It just makes it look like it's not wearing any clothes. On the other hand. I like Shiny Charizard the best out of all of the Shinies. It's the only Black Shiny along with Greninja, and Umbreon with Blue Rings and Yellow Eyes, Hawlucha, and Rayquaza that I love way better than the garbage tier Haxorus. Again, my opinions. Also Shiny Metagross looks sick. I need this Pokémon to happen in a Pokémon GO Community Day Classic! And I'm also sad that Shiny Sylveon is not on this list.

[@huntermyers3551]

I have all of the shiny pokemon in my party

[@S11Made8Hot]

Tbf Haxarous is NO pseudolegendary 😅 It's an strong, awesome 3-stage evo with a nice shiny Thats all And charizard at number one? What a wonder.

[@anubizz5956]

First shiny hunt was for riolu and it took forever back in the day...now they give them to you for nothing.

[@CandiceVidito]

Shiny Eevee is my favorite shiny 😊

Eevee looks cute as a shiny

[@Animeguy300]

Charizard is the coolest pokemon

[@EllenPreb]

But what about more type videos? We need top 10 greatest water type Pokemon, fairy type Pokemon, grass type Pokemon, ice type Pokemon, fighting type Pokemon. Please do them. I’m begging you Ashley.

[@karacornett5289]

Rayquaza Metagross Mega Gengar Umbreon Greninja Charizard x Haxorous

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

"Ash's Noctowl is the only Shiny to be owned by a main character" Goh's Shiny Voltorb: Am I a joke to you Also how did the actual best Shiny- Heatmor- not even crack the top 20?!

[@waheedabdullah6371]

We forgot about his shiny Voltorb because Goh doesn't bring it on his journeys

[@ArranM]

How the hell is Shiny Dragonair not on this list?

[@d14m0nd3lf]

my first shiny was cyndiqil on my first play throgh of silver my cousin staryed his play though of gold the same dy with the sa,e starter which is when the diffrtence was noticed

[@Mydarlingxoxo92]

My favourite shiny is Kanto Ponyta

[@neosparda4897]

My Favorite Pokémon shiny: Rayquaza, Metagross, Druddigon, Haxorus, Gardevoir, Hawlucha, Entei, Raikou and Suicune ✨

[@axels3188]

I think the best Shiny Pokemon is Charizard while the worst Shiny is Regular Shiny Gengar.

[@DRCEQ]

Shiny Mega Garchomp needed to be on this list. Much like Gengar, Garchomp's shiny form is barely noticeable (even less than Gengar), but the shiny mega evolved form changes Garchomp's dark blue skin to lavender, along with hot pink scythes and a yellow waist and head scar.

[@WavekingG]

The shiny umberon is nice asf to

[@edyoung2621]

Always was, will be, and forever cemented the best shiny in all of pokemon, charizard

[@zachschmitt3654]

Golurk, Deciduey, and Toadscruel should have made this list

[@Ventus98]

11:45 This isn’t true anymore, Goh caught a shiny Voltorb in Pokemon Journeys

[@ntv358]

Most disappointing shiny has to be Basculin but it makes it up when it evolves into Basculegion

[@henrymilles5744]

The First Shiny Pokémon that I ever Caught was a Geodude in Pokémon "Heartgold". Other Shiny Pokémon I have caught (Or obtained) over the years were, Kanto Rattata (Forgot which Game, Maybe "Omega Ruby" or "Alpha Sapphire"), Ekans (Again don't remember which game, maybe either "Pokémon X" or "Pokémon Y"), Kanto Sandshrew (In "Heartgold" I think), Gyarados (in Pokémon "Heartgold"), a Shiny GOLDEN Magikarp via Wonder Trade (in either Pokémon "X" or Pokémon "Y"), Dratini in Pokemon "White 2" by Defeating Benga in the White Treehollow. (Which is now a very powerful Dragonite) (But Shiny Dragonite are a little weird with their Green Color, but Shiny Dragonair are cute with their Pink Color), a Shiny Skorupi in either Pokémon "X" or Pokémon "Y". (And it lead to a Great Battle Strategy for me, when in a Double or Triple battle use both my Shiny Skorupi (Which I then evolved into a Cool Shiny Drapion) and my Non-Shiny Drapion use Toxic Spikes during the same turn to inflict the badly poison Status Condition. And what made it even better, is that Drapion is my #1 Favorite Poison type Pokémon), I once almost caught a Shiny Heatran in either "Omega Ruby" or "Alpha Sapphire" but messed up during the battle by resetting the game to the save point just before the battle, (But I also blame Gamefreak for making the only real noticeable Characteristic of a Shiny Heatran their Pinkish Purple eyes), and Shiny Wailmer in Either "Sun", "Moon", "Ultra Sun" or "Ultra Moon". Ps. While I never owned a Shiny Espeon, I have battled against a couple in the past (Usually by other secret base trainers in either "Omega Ruby" or "Alpha Sapphire"), I don't think the Shiny Green color for Espeon is so bad. I don't think its Ugly, but not a desired color choose. But it you want to talk about Ugly Shiny Pokémon look at the worst of them all, Shiny Mega Charizard X. Whoever made that Shiny should be FIRED! (From their Job to be clear)

[@tylermcbean273]

Shiny yveltal should of been on the list

[@MaiSakurajoestar]

Before even watching, I’m guessing top 3 are going to be Charizard, Rayquaza, and Umbreon. Let’s see if I’m right. Edits: Ok, Umbreon was 8, still on the list Rayquaza was 4, still on the list And of course, Charizard was #1, like everyone expected.

[@SpikeThePorcupine23]

Before I let this video finish, I already knew what the number one shiny Pokémon was. Black and red shiny colors are dominant colors for shiny Pokémon, therefore obvious options for the top five was going to be between Rayquaza, Greninja and Charizard.

[@Goldtiger142003]

"Since it served such a pivotal role in Pokemon Gold and Silver, the gold Gyarados in the lake of rage was the first exposure to shinies for many." Ah yes, I knew I was colorblind as a kid. That was clearly gold and not red. Joke and mistake aside, red Gyarados is by far the best shiny. It's the OG, and it's the most striking. It's rage incarnate. Shiny Charizard is overhyped. Plus, you give such attention to NON-shiny Mega Charizard X, but conveniently don't mention that its actual shiny colors are drastically different and significantly worse. That weird teal/cyan with red tips and red wings is just atrocious. Further proof that Mega Charizard Y is the superior Charizard. though its default colors of orange and blue are superior. I want to give attention to shiny Mewtwo though. Yes, it's green, but it's the best green shiny. Try to prove me wrong; you can't. Green Mewtwo is just perfect, and no other color would've worked for the mutant fetus cat. The worst shiny is Garchomp. No lime green Pokemon compares to the fact that Garchomp's shiny isn't even really a new color palette. Moving the hue slider to the side by a few pixels does not equate to a good alternate color scheme, especially with all of the other options it could've had. It could've used its beta color scheme, being a complimentary orange with blue accents, or it could've been gold with blue accents. Or, it could've been given the bland black and red coloration. Even baby vomit lime green would've sufficed as a color, but nope. They genuinely got lazy with Garchomp's shiny colors.

[@axels3188]

[@CodyBurns]

Justice for Shiny Gliscor!

[@demongodking6681]

Nononono in my opinion shiny lunala deserves to be on this list like seriously the blood red moon colored lunala how was it not here seriously shiny lunala deserves more respect

[@9386AliG]

Ash’s Noctowl is my one of my favorites.

[@ShadowMike202]

I have a conspiracy on why there are no original Japanese version with subtitles, either The Pokemon Company international is being very selfish or they don't have rights due to expensive cost, Sure it may be an expensive for your taste, but we should support the official release no matter what. Plus, the Japanese release limited edition includes the first anime episode fully restored on Blu-ray. It should look amazing.

So basically you did a Top 20 of the most famous shiny pokemon. So much work on a video to literally tell us what we already knew which ones would be on it (since they're basically the most famous ones). If you had put a little more effort into the research, you would find WAY more beautifull looking shinys with really great aestetics. Some of them being: Minor, Gardevoir, Koraidon, Spidops, Rellor/ Rabsca, Eevee, Scizor, Furret, flygon, dragapult, Hisuian Zoroa/ Zoroark, Darkrai, Rhyperior, Porygon/ Porygon2/ Porygon-Z, Palossand, Litten, and so many more... But I digress
