Its shiny version takes a high-level design and elevates it even further. Gary and Gladeon both use an Umbreon in their respective parties. As an Eevee evolution, Umbreon requires a unique evolution method. If an Eevee with a high friendship level is leveled up at night, it can evolve into an Umbreon.
This method of friendship evolution was introduced in generation 2. Umbreon is well known for its defensive prowess. Umbreon does not pack much of a punch but a base defense and special defense stat of and respectively means Umbreon is great at stalling or walling.
A popular method of defeating an Umbreon is to inflict status conditions on it. Guzzlord is one of the eleven Ultra Beasts. Special Beast Balls are required to properly catch Ultra Beasts. Its design is truly spectacular. Its stats mirror its large complexion. The well-rounded physical and special attack stats also make Guzzlord an optimal mixed attacker. Shiny Guzzlord is certainly eerier than standard Guzzlord.
Although the black base of its standard form is menacing, its white and orange counterpart is off-putting. A white Guzzlord looks more fitting as something straight from space. It shares this strange incomprehensible appearance that most things from space have. Although this makes for excellent offensive type coverage, it is highly susceptible to five types. To make matters worse, Guzzlord is 4x weak to Fairy. Most fairy moves can defeat Guzzlord in one shot despite its stellar bulk.
With a base speed stat of 40, it certainly is not out-speeding potential threats. Perhaps the most dangerous thing about Ultra Beasts is their common Beast Boost ability. Ponyta evolves into Rapidash at level As previously mentioned Ponyta only became a force to be reckoned with in the fourth generation. This generation gave Ponyta physical Fire type moves such as flame wheel and the ultra-powerful flare blitz. Finally, Ponyta could put that excellent physical attack stat to use.
Once again, the original design plays it safe by offering trainers something they would expect. The red flames are predictable, whereas the blue flames are wild and unknown.
Blue flames also make sense on a conceptual level what with flames taking on this color when in full combustion. This is a great choice from the design team seeing as Ponyta only required the minor tweak of flame color. Ponyta is lucky to have access to two great abilities. Although its third ability Run Away is nothing special, Flash Fire and Flame Body can prove to be incredibly useful in battle. Only having two weaknesses Electric, Rock is a great thing, although a 4x weakness is something to avoid at all costs.
One Electric type move can defeat Gyarados in one hit. The second of its two major flaws apply to generations 1 through 3. This means that Gyarados with its high physical attack stat and low special attack stat could not take advantage of its mainly special attacking move pool. All Water type moves would have been special attacks. From the fourth generation on, Gyarados became a serious threat with its monstrous physical attack and access to physical Water type moves.
Gyarados also has access to two incredible abilities. The evolution design is subject to ridicule since Gyarados looks like a giant shrimp. First and foremost, shiny Gyarados switches its blue base for a red base. An all-red Gyarados is quite the sight. When it comes to Vulpix, a Fire Stone is required to obtain a Ninetails. It is said that a fox with nine tales can live for over 1, years.
This fox is far from friendly. Its shiny design is an ode to this menacing personality. Ninetales takes on an ashy grey coat of fur in its shiny form. Glaring red eyes are the highlight of the design. As a Fire-type, Ninetales conforms to the tradition of boasting excellent special statistic.
Equipped with above-average speed and average special attack, Ninetales can be a tricky foe to deal with. Eventually the law of large numbers wins out. Normally you want to catch everything you can to farm Stardust. Some of the best shiny hunting opportunities like Spotlight Hours, Safari Zones, and seasonal events are only around for a limited time, and you can only spend so many hours playing PoGo anyways.
Shiny checking is a well-known technique that can boost your chances, and it's so common you probably already knew about it. But here's a trick way fewer people know. AR Mode replaces that field-and-forest background with whatever your phone's camera is pointing at.
For this trick you don't really care what's in the background; I usually have the cover of my phone case folded over the camera lens anyway. What matters is the difference in behavior when you enter an encounter in regular mode, versus AR mode. When you click into an encounter in regular mode, you start zoomed in on the Pokemon, overlaid with the message, "A wild [Pokemon] appeared! You can't leave the encounter until the camera finishes moving.
AR mode is different. When you click into an encounter with AR on, the entire UI loads all at once. In multi-hour events like Safari Zones and Community Days, it usually buffs my number of shiny encounters by 50 percent or more. All those seconds you save really add up. This is the one that rises above the rest. I particularly like the Aegislash red edge looking at its sword to contrast with the black tones.
Approaching the top of the list I have only the coolest of the coolest, the universally great shinnies. Changing its bluish tone for a silver one, and the iron X and claws take on a golden accent.
So a golden version is totally wild. Its shiny form changes its body rings from yellow to blue. Simple right? Although it was originally intended to replicate the moonlight with its yellow rings, the blue ones feel more like replicating the mist and shadows of the night.

Heatmor Much more in line with the lava origins of Heatmor, these new shiny colors look awesome. Throwing in signature attacks like Heat Wave and Flamethrower make this more visually impactful.
Dratini I will defend pink shinies until the day I die! Electrode Voltorb and Electrode work perfectly fine as Poke ball parodies. Bisharp With Bisharp we have to see it as a duo and not only as a shiny separately. In my mind these colors rival each other, and a shiny Bisharp represent this perfectly.
Legendary Beasts I will cheat a little bit and make a single entrance for these 3, instead of saying the same thing three times in a row. Entei, Raikou and Suicune are greatly improved by their shiny versions. Roselia and Roserade Although the red and blue roses work great for regular Roselia, there is a whole new air about this little gal with shiny Roselia.
Outside of these alternate forms, the original shiny Gengar is just a more pale shade of purple with just as pale red eyes. Togepi is much more noticeable as a shiny, though, with a bright pink body inside its color-swapped egg. The fact that its shiny form evolves to resemble its egg more than the creature inside, though, is undoubtedly odd for this evolution line.
Version exclusives can often be great as shinies. Unfortunately, a shiny Duraludon is fairly close to its original model, with a slightly bluer palette that makes it just a small bit darker. Its later forms, Electabuzz and Electivire, are far less bland.
Their bodies become a darker red that makes them reminiscent of their Fire-type counterparts in the Magmar family, leaving Elekids much more forgettable before evolving.
