Shiny Pokemon That... KINDA Don't Change..? 

Maybe the real shiny was the friends we made along the way

I like how the Tinkaton line looks like a marketable plushie yet is extremely predatory towards Corviknight and the Bisharp line. Two of the coolest Pokémon xD

My favorite headcanon is that the shiny gene in mimikyu takes away their color vision so they mess up their costumes

The gag of graveler/electrode exploding always gets me 😂

For Sinistea and Polteageist I think it’s a case that the cup and pot react to the specific spirit inside it. Either that or they’re picky about the vessels they inhabit

"the floette line isnt a grass type bc the flowers arent the pokemon" applin: huh

Funny story about Komala. I actually got one in either Violet or Scarlet (can't remember which). I wasn't even looking for a Shiny, I think I was just running around and exploring. I saw it and I was like "Oh. Forgot that thing existed. Hey, does its log usually look like that?" I ran into it, and yep, it was Shiny. I caught it and never used it lmao.

Imagine the number of bisharps slaughtered by Tinkaton for her to collect enough body parts from the shiny ones to make an entirely new hammer. Shiny Tinkaton should be a legendary at that point

What I love about shiny Hydrapple is that Applin's shiny apple replaces the one on the main syrpent's horn

The tea pokemon make sense, in that their "shells", the cup and the teapod, are similar to a crustacean's skin, or a snakeskin. It's part of them, but it doesn't grow, so they shed it

I like to imagine Shiny Tinkatons are just the really experienced hunters that actually found shiny Corviknights and Bisharps. We've never actually seen an actual Shiny Tinkaton.

Sinistea and Polteageist along with Polchageist and Sinischa are possessing the cutlery, so it makes sense that along with their body, the color of the thing they're possessing would change too. possession does more than just take control of something in most cases after all lol.

I was not aware that sinistea was also the cup. I thought it was always just the tea that was possessed, and that the face on the cup was just another false face like so many pokémon have.

That explosion joke cracked me up cuz it is so true 😂

I just think that the pot gets covered in a bit of the tea while being possessed & ends up staining it

Sinistea to polteageist: pot is blue but changes to pink Gamefreak: “let’s not do that with armarouge and ceruledge’s armour because they don’t need good shinies.”

okay but Shuckle is based partly on testate amoebas, blobby little cells with shells. Some of these can get to be several inches long, especially three groups of foraminifera known as the fusulinids (cigar-shaped, extinct), nummulitids (coin-shaped), and xenophyophores (cauliflower-shaped). That's not a rock Shuckle lives in; it's the shell it grew and/or glued together!

Ok, I guess the polteageist conundrum could be thought of as this: What if the cup changes color when possessed by a sinistea or polteageist. That way, it can explain the color change, since it is a ghost possessing a teacup/teapot. Basically it makes a colored aurora around the pot to show it's possessed

"komala is the log because the shiny is a different looking log" is the single worsted theory in the Pokemon series. I think shiny Pokemon who's item change colour is a fun idea if you ask me.

tinkaton without the hammer is a pure fairy type

Tinkaton also takes corvanite metal

I never thought about the Shuckle one!🐚

Missed opportunity to have the purple in Sinistea’s shiny form become green like ectoplasm and or green tea

Maybe it's one of those cups that change color depending on the temperature and shiny sinistea just happens to be warmer 🤔

Maybe the shiny sinastea's mutation causes it to dye/stain the pot another color

"Maybe it's down to DNA orso... Idk..." Yes. That is how colors express in nature too so... Makes sense

Shiny mimikyu is what happens when they get depression

Nah, shiny shuckle and shuckle are the goats of Pokémon.

Kids: haha funny electric mouse Adults:

My first shiny was a shiny shuckle and before that I found a full odds shiny gravaler which used self destruct Thanks for returning those memories

Sinistea and Polteageist existing in shiny color forms suggests that the pink color pot is a rarer tea cup and pot set to find. it is reasonable to think that the pink ones would know where to find a pink tea pot to move into as well.

Best guess is that Sinistea is a poltergeist manifestong itself.

The applin syrup detail is so cool because its like eating a different kind of apple produces different syrup

Dipplin covers itself in its own syrup so it makes sense that its syrup attack would change as well

Me and Komala would get along because we both like to sleep alot.

The tinkatun line is interesting because it must biomagnify the shininess. The shiny bit is metal. Which is more than one pawniard's or bisharp's worth. Which means that s shiny Tinkatun is actually more like multiple shiny pokemon.

Dude shuckle god granted by demons and thought he was getting a new evolution, went to hell, went to Heaven, got reincarnated as a ditto and became a shuckle bro had a wish and he went through two stages of grief confusion and acceptance I think

I think that it’s just that different species have different reasons for one to be shiny, like getting a different item, it wouldn’t be shiny anymore without it, in canon sense

I hate this discussion. Shinies do NOT have to be lore accurate or reflect actual Pokémon. They’re creative works that look cool and are rare enough to not impact lore unless Nintendo wants them to.

other shinies: im a rare color varient thats cool :D tinkaton: I EAT SHINIES FOR BREAKFAST

“Eh whatever funny tea monster”

SHUCKLE ISNT MOLD, ITS A MOLD, SHUCKLES SHELL IS PART OF ITS BODY

This is why I’m okay with the extremely subtle Ceruledge/Armarouge shinies: they make more sense than this

The sun and moon anime addresses the komala thing, the log isn’t the actual Pokémon, but komala can’t live with out a log to hold or it will roll around crazily and cause trouble

Remember when, in the anime, Acerola said that her shiny mimiku was dead?

I think that since polteagheist is a ghost, its just inhabiting the teacup, and transfers to the pot, and this process changes the color of the pot

Personally the shiny Applin colors make a lot of sense

Easy, Pokemon are essentially magical girl mascots. The entirity is part of the pokemon. Komala is not just the koala, it's the koala and the log.

Komala I HATE for the sheer missed opportunity of not being a DROP-BEAR...

The hammer for tinkaton is made from corviknight, if the tikaton is shiny, the hammer is the same colour as shiny corviknight(i think, idk for sure if it is that colour), and that is why it is that colour(if its shiny)

“Funny tea monster.”

The shiny pokemon where just the objects are color changed are those ones who wanna be quirky so they choose a different color of log or tea pot

I think it would've been cool if they made tinkaton's shiny metal close to the shiny bisharp and corviknight colors

Dipplin is like Wormadam

I got e theory that a group of eevees were mad that pikachu would always outshine them and so they wore the mask. But the eevees ended not getting caught and when they died the because ghost type. Either that or it’s just a silly ditto that transforms into something that gives people heart attacks.

Most Shiny Pokemon are created by placing the colors' hex values through an equation, which doesn't always look great. Some of them are deliberate, like Black Charizard, Green Machamp, and Red Gyarados.

Blue shuckle do make special juice in the anime, so it has a purpose

Shiny Polteageist might fuse itself with its cup, causing the color to change.

"The log is the part that becomes Shiny, so that's the real Pokemon! And while, uh, no. 🤨" Idk why that sent me 💀

polteageist transfers the shiny status to the teapot

Everyone always forgets that Sony Solon has yellow eyes

Wish Applin m would've turned red along with a green apple. Flapple would've looked more dragonesque with that color scheme. The others too though. Red Appletun and red Hydrapple

Shiny dipplins body also changes the leaves on its tail tho😂

I mean; there is a stupid amount of energy evolved in evolution, so evolution causing one to merge with the apple they reside in make sense. So, in Dipplin’s case, it’s both the apple, the wyrm, and the syrup

I wanna give mimikyu a lot of fabric and let it make a cute version of itself.

Shuckles yellow does shift shades of yellow when shiny; it’s just not very drastic

Hydrapplin shooting a different kind of syrup is because its eating differently colored food

These are all examples of pokemon finding items to use or live in, so finding a rare variety of that item (such as a rare species of tree or antique kettle) is believable

The liquid of shiny sinistea stains the pot/cup. But hey that's just A theory, A Game Theory

The tea monster uses the chemicals in its body to change the pigment of the outer shell like crabs when they molt.

Dipplin in its regular form is a candied apple Its shiny is a caramel apple

God thank you, I've seen so many brain dead people argue that tinkatons hammer is made out of corviknight but it's not, it's bisharp and Pawniard

This is honestly my favorite kind of shiny, idk if Aegislash counts lol

Tinkatink has a piece of metal in its chest, so there's at least that.

I mean..I have an explanations. People complain about tiny shinies being almost invisible, same with pokemon with minimal differance. So with pokemon like Applin, Dipplin, Polteageist, etc. The hidden part is the pokemon, so we woulden't know if they were shiny or not, especially Mimikyu, where it's body is completely hidden. Am I reading to deep into this? Yes.

I just think shiny komolas just find different colored logs

Bro forgot about wobbuffet😂😂😂. Although I guess it might be more of a sinistea situation because the tail is the brain but the main body is still a part of it. Still sinistea at least got an honorable mention.

Shiny tinkaton confused me at times cause shiny bisharp is blue, and at first I thought it could be shiny corviknight, but they're silver so..

Saying shuckle's shell is not part of It's body is like saying turtoise' shell are not part of their body

Shiny tinkaton are Just Specimens that are too lazy to Hunt regular corviknight so they aim for elderly rusty ones

Shiny dipplin leaves on the tail also change color

Bro is a full on nuke

Shiny Sinistea are extremely picky and will only move into a pot and evolve if it’s painted to the same color as its cup Or at least that show I think about it

If Komala is just the log. Then what is that Koala?

Tinkaton's hammer is also made up of Corviknight

some shiny pokemon are just animals who found a cool item and now get hunted by trophy hunters

Crossgen evo of Mimikin(that’s my nickname for her)would be insane

The koolaid man question then

I actually like these shinies a lot, im not normally a fan of pokemon that dont change when shiny, but i actually really like these types of shiny, its like one pokemon randomly decided to pick up a differently collored object for a change. Gives them a bit more personality and individuallity, other than the pokemon is just born a different collor. And ussually theres a pretty good lore reason for the different collor of the object to.

The shiny part is only a piece of the evidence about komala. The main piece of evidence in this argument is it's method of ambulation

おそらくポケモンが色違いのアイテムを見つける場所なのかもしれません

i love mimikyu!!

would’ve been so cool for shiny tinkaton to have a hammer with shiny pawniards/bisharps colors.

My teory is that shiny applin his mucus that he uses to make the apple live longer changes so the apple changes color

and yet everyone harps that the charcadet line doesnt do this

Actually if you look closely mimikyus true body changes They get slightly lighter and get a slight blue / lavander* tint * I have no clue what color it is i think im color blind

Polteageist possesses the pot and turns it pink, duh. :p

Let’s just hope that this one doesn’t explode

Now I'm just just imagining hisuain sliggo is just the iron shell and that's just wrong

This could be applied to shiny escalavier changing the shelmet's shell color
