Shiny Garchomp

Garchomp more like GARBAGE (0 STARS if there was an option)

really ruined shiny which could end up being great

Barely looks different and the difference is for the worse. Would’ve looked great in dark green with red, red, or a more grey and white scheme

I am really indifferent here. I would not mind using it to flex but it literally does nothing to change the design, so at least I cannot say that it is worse.

I could've served to lean more into the black, but it's still not terrible in my opinion

it could be way better, it's one of .. if not the most subtle shiny

i personally wish it had a shiny similar to gabite

No

BOOOOOO HISSSSSSS

what shiny?

No not good

Just duller colors

In shiny garchomp’s defense, I think that the duller colors work better than the usual colors, even if the change is small. It gets way more hate than it should, considering some of the other shinies that blow even worse, such as slowpoke, regice, and wormadam. It’s a shame that it couldn’t have gotten a cooler shiny, or something that matches the rest of its line, but I find this adequate.

GOLD BELLY

1.5 - Decent concept, atrocious execution. Why on earth would they make the blackish grey almost the same shade as the original? VERY difficult to tell them apart, especially with phone brightness down. Pokemon Go made it mildly better than some game sprites but even they could not salvage it. It just needed to be a darker black or a lighter grey.

Personally I think a rust colored main body would have been a good alternative color. I also think the star (yellow parts) swapping colors with the red part would be neat. Orange is not the worst but it does little favors differentiating it to the red.
