One of the core aspects of thePokemonseries is collecting all the pocket monsters. With there being multiple versions of every Generation in the franchise containing different creatures, this encouraged trading, which helped establish a multiplayer system in the games. Players have been aiming tocatch every PokemonsinceRed and Blue, which is a daunting task, especially as new creatures are being added constantly.
Pokemon Gold and Silvermade things a little harder by introducingShiny Pokemon. This meant that all pocket monsters now had an alternate coloring that was more scarce than the normal one, adding a bit of difficulty to the mission of catching all of them. With Generation 9 on the horizon, many gamers are imagining what the Shiny versions of the newly announced creatures will be, creating their own colorings for recently revealed Pokemon.

A Redditor going by the name yzziB shared their Shiny versions of somePokemonthat have been announced forScarlet and Violet,including the three starters. The user drew Quaxly with similar colors to its official artwork, but made its white feathers gray. The red coloring on Fuecoco was changed to yellow, while its stomach patch was turned brown and the sprouts on its head orange. Sprigatito was essentially the same color, though its facial markings, ears, and collar were altered to pink.
YzziB also shared their Shiny versions of the threePokemon Lechonk, Smoliv, and Pawmi. The Redditor changed Lechonk to pink, while its snout became brown. Smoliv’s body was colored to be black, while its leaves were made a dark yellow. Finally, Pawmi was modified to be yellow instead of orange, and its cheeks were made pink instead of yellow.
The Shiny variants that yzziB came up with have garnered some fans. Users particularly enjoyed the colorings for Smoliv, Fuecoco, and Lechonk. One commenter stated that they think yzziB is probably close to accurate, though they feel that Quaxly might have purple where the blue is when looking back at past Water-type starters. However, they did love Lechonk.
