Bleu <3

someone tell me why the nido lines have this cute little palette swap, this one included, and then nidoqueen still ended up looking like that. it was right there guys.

Cartoonish in the best way

YES

Recognizable as a shiny!

Recognizability: Pass

Magenta to Cyan is a very noticeable shift.

Color balance: Pass

Not many colors to start with but what is there still pops out pretty well. Actually the contrast with the mouth is just a little nicer so it's already a slight improvement over the original.

Aesthetic quality: Pass

The ears are brown which is a little eh but I'm not crazy about the original color on the non-shiny anyways. Aesthetically it's taking on the tones of the female Nidoran line, which makes for a really fun aesthetic. The blue works nicely and almost makes it look more dinosaur-like.

Improvement over original: Pass

I think this one is maybe a bit more debatable but I really like the blue. The idea behind the aesthetic is fun and the contrast even works slightly better.

Big scary Stitch

Very cool design!
