Recognizability: Pass

It just barely passes. If it was even slightly darker it'd fail.

Color balance: Fail

The balance and contrast is made worse between the wings, tail, head and then the belly. It's much more monotone.

Aesthetic quality: Pass

It's an icier ice bird. That has to count for something.

Enjoyment over original: Fail

Yeah I just think this one loses some of the energy of the OG.

It’s pretty, probably best that it stayed close since it’s the embodiment of ice after all.

More icy looking overall as it is THE ice type. A drastic change isn't necessary.

It might be very subtle but surprisingly I don't hate it. Looks more icy and cohesive!

Rate a random shiny!

Shiny Pokémon have different coloration than the standard Pokémon. Encountering a shiny Pokémon is very rare. You’ll never forget your first shiny found and caught in the wild. Every single shiny Pokémon is cool and someone should be proud if you have just a single one. However, some are much cooler looking than other shiny Pokémon are. Deciding what the best shiny Pokémon is, is a tough task. What makes a shiny Pokémon special? Some of the best shiny Pokémon only exhibit minor color changes, while others take on drastic transformations. Some standard Pokémon are already epic (e.g. Charizard), so it’s easier to get an epic shiny. There is no standard for rating shiny Pokémon. It is up to personal preference. However, on shinyrating.com we have two guidelines:

1. Rate in comparison to the standard form.
2. Rarity can make a shiny even more beautiful.

Keep your eyes peeled for the best shiny Pokémon and leave your rating on our website. Do you remember the first time you encountered a shiny Pokémon? Describe your feeling in the rating section of the concerned shiny.
