Shiny Pikachu (new year hat)

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.
