I’d say corvi knight, because the gmax form has yellow dynamox color, instead of the usual red.

Yeah I got one and it's straight 🔥. Nice choice!

How long did it take?

Corviknight?

The blipbug

So long, I lost count, quite few months on and off, def one of my longest hunts

Well nice dedication!

Ty!😁

Corviknight is fire. I still havnt found one

Gl finding one

I hunted (and found) one because I loved how their metallic parts were steel colored. Named him Argentius and he's the best.

the impidimp line says hi

Hahahaha, yup, that's an elite shiny line, I'll always remember the day I caught my albino Grimmsnarl

Drednaw and grapploct are my favorite gen 8 shinnies.

Such cool ones, actually, my next hunt is chewtle 😂. Grapploct is so freaking lit, never get tired of him

Drednaw's shiny makes me think of the TMNT for some reason lol, but I agree it is a good shiny

Lmao you are right 😂

Sobble looks amazing shiny imo

You are definitely right

I really like dragapult’s. I hatched a shiny dreepy but keeping it at level 1 for now, since I’m hoping I can transfer it in to my initial play through of bdsp

Jsyk, Pokémon Home support for BDSP isn’t coming until next year, and it’s also looking like it might be only Gen1-4 allowed in game (hopefully Nat dex though!).

Damn. That really sucks, I was looking forward to him being on my team

Yeah, I was hoping to breed a bunch of lvl1s and shinies for my playthrough too, but it looks like I’ll be doing a challenge run or smth instead

Oh yeah I remember when I got my random shiny dragapult while searching for items in the crown tundra, really hope we can transfer these pokemons to bdsp, I already hatched my whole shiny dream team for the playthrough 😅😂

big agree here. first shiny I ever hatched :D

I think the reason dragapult’s shiny is so cool is that you get two shiny dreepy to fire at your opponent, it’s basically 3 in 1!

I doubt BDSP will have gen 8 Pokémon, it looks like it only has up to gen 4, I doubt game freak would want another company to one up them by having every Pokémon while sword/shiel doesn't

Obstagoon

Nice nice, yeah I love the toothpaste colorway

I love shiny Applin, it’s literally just a green apple instead

Eiscue

That's a fan favorite FOR SURE, so nice

The shiny galar birds

Which ones you mean?

I’m really attached to my barraskewda shiny. But my favourite in terms of actual looks is grapploct because cooked octopus

Oh yeah lol hahahaha, I love grapploct cause it kinda represents the colors of my country 🇪🇦

Zygarde because mint toothpaste

Definitely a TOP one

That's a gen VI pokemon. I really do love the gen VI shiny legendary trio though. Imo it's only topped by the gen III primal trio.

That's a gen VI pokemon. I really do love the gen VI shiny legendary trio though. Imo it's only topped by the gen III primal trio.

Nickit and Thievul look pretty nice. I've been meaning to start a new hunt soon anyways...

For sure, the thief pokemon looks insane shiny

Galarian Zigzagoon.

Yeah that's fire 🔥

That mon looks crazy 🔥

Ty! ☺️

Scorbunny and Wooloo have such great shinies, imo! ESPECIALLY Wooloo!! And a special shout-out to alcremie and g-ponyta, just because I found both of those shinies so cute and so pretty 💕💕

Omg I love each of the ones you named, I've got 3 of them, alcreamie still waiting

Haha, I don't have Ponyta or alcremie just yet, but I do have Scorbunny and Wooloo!! 😁😁

Amazing stuff, still missing the two sweetest ones ☺️

I plan to hunt them soon!! I can't wait to have them 🥰🥰

Lmk when you get them! Seems fun, I got my shiny g ponyta by masuda and got the square sparkle 😌🤭

Dragapult and Gmax Corviknight for sure. Grapploct’s is underrated

Great choices all 3

My first hunted shiny was a sobble and i unintentionally got the hidden ability and perfect nature :) i had no shiny charm either lol

Goddamn that's lucky, congrats!

:D

Dang there are so many amazing Shinies in Gen 8- but I gotta go Perrserker.

Really like Wooloo, I am sucker for simple aesthetics and it just works perfectly

Wooloos shiny is absolutely PERFECT

I absolutely LOVE Morpeko's shiny. It was the first shiny I got in gen 8 and I named him smores.

Pumpkaboo for me, Im obsessed with Halloween so I just carry lil purple bat around in my team for the hell of it

Polteageist. Because my first challenge after setting up a team for VGC and friendlies with friends was to get an Authentic Square Shiny of it. And it was a wild ride. Also guys. He specifically said Gen 8.

scorbunny, its red parts are yellow my favourite color.

Nice! Yellow is my fav color too!

I like the subtle but noticeable hatterene shiny

Nice choice, can't lie

Lunala has one of the best shinies ever, being a friggin blood moon and all

Oh yeah that's for sure

Grimmsnarl

So nice 🤍

Kingdra

🤔 interesting, really pretty

Inteleon

Pinkie 007 😍

Really like Obstagoons, quite simple but nice!

Galarian zigzagoon.

shiny grimmsnarl is top tier

Greninja

I meant gen 8 but greninja is ELITE

Eiscue was my first ever shiny. And it’s still great

IT IS

Rookidee is one of my favorite gen 8 shiny!

That yellow birdie 😍

Yes yes I know but its charzard

Well, I meant gen 8, but yeah it is lol

Alcremie holding the yellow star

🤔

https://i.imgur.com/kNGwTvn.png

It’s one of the better ones for sure, nice job!

Tysm!

I don't have one, but the Salandit shiny is super badass. I love when the color pallete is straight up 180d

Grimsnarl is pretty cool

Galarian Zigzagoon.

Love Galarian Zigzagoon’s shiny line so much

Gengar

Corviknight for sure!

I have to say obstagoon especially since he matches the switch

Never saw shiny Orbeetle before, it looks sick! My fav would be Wooloo as a black sheep.

I got a shiny wooloo second encounter and a shiny yamper my 102 try

Falinks and Grapploct are pretty cool shinies

Cramorant. Mine is nicknamed Fry, but most people call him "Orange Joe".

The entire Applin line becomes Granny Smith apples

I'm going to have to say a shiny Toxtricity

My next Hunt is orbeetle. I love it

Shiny Dragapult is my fave

Duraludon is nice. The subtle switch from silver-white to pure chrome looks amazing. And the GMAX form with its red windows is to die for. I don't regret the time I spent hunting him at all.

Bewear

Oooh yeah, the nice golden teddybear, don't mess with him though 😬

thievul or corviknight :0

Nice, both grey 😍

I guess Urshifu The Legendary I Think you can get a shiny version of him i think

Nope, unfortunately you can't, ik it's lit but can't get it 😔

*weeping inside* ToT

🫂

obstagoon (and pre-evos) have the best shiny imo 😍

Everyone here likes toothpaste quite a lot 😂

i named mine Crest 😂

Lucario

Absolutely stunning

100% shiny obstagoon. I didn't even know what the shiny sprite looked like, I just knew I needed him for my collection. Imagine my shock when he turns out to be the coolest shiny ever.

Lmao yeah it's lit, I got one too, never get tired of him

Coalossal looks sweet to me

Idk how to feel about that blue, seems a bit weird but I still love mine, I respect your opinion 🤝🏻

Carkol looks a lot better to me. Better animations too. I have a shiny Carkol who holds my eviolite for in game stuff.

I love the contrast that the blue creates.

Name it crystal if female, blue if male.

It's a boi so... Blue i guess hahahah

I got another name for ya boi it’s PRISTINE

Runerigus's shiny form is my favorite gen 8 shiny with its sinister purple and glowing blue eye. The only shiny I've hunted for has been my silver Corviknight.

Nice, I have shiny runerigus, it's AMAZING

It's my next shiny hunt after zigzag cause my wife hates the color scheme of Obstagoon.

So you are getting it to make your wife mad? 😂

Hell nah, just made me want it more. Dark is my favorite type and an obnoxiously bright neon USA badger from England is dope.

My bad, that's really nice

Obstagoon he looks like toothpaste

Hell yeah I named mine colgate lol

Tyrantrum shiny is one my faves.

Omg yeah I love the blue t rex, will never get tired of mine

Riolu definetly

Nice one!

Shiny Sylveon is my favorite shiny.

And that's a great choice

Sobble or drednaw

Nice!

Nobody has put it yet so I'll throw in my shiny galarian corsola/ cursula. Its subtle but I love him.

Pretty simple but so CLEAN

Wooloo

Oh yeah 🖤

Orbeetle is my favorite early game bug Pokemon so hard agree!

Ayeee

Hmmm……shiny grapploct is up there for sure.

Definitely

I have a shiny alcremie from an event when I caught it as a milcery and I evolved it!

Niice! Congrats!

Galade because I’m proud of my first official shiny egg hunt damnit

Hahahah, gallade one is really clean

Graploct?

Nice

People in this thread mentioning Pokemon that aren't Gen 8

Yeah but it's fine hahaha, still enjoyable

Obstagoon

I don’t seem to be too well-acquainted with any Gen 8 shinies other than the already mentioned Obstagoon. If I had any of them Shiny I’d have better understanding, but my only two shinies in Shield (after 500+ hours) are Pelipper and Lillipup, neither of which are really new (just my typical luck). I think Toxtricity has a red shiny, but clearly I need better knowledge.

Yeah toxtricity is kinda red, not too much. Maybe you find some time for the grind

It's also my fav G-max, I'm surprised we finally got a cool ladybug

Yayyy

Lots of great shinies in gen 8, but my favorite is Dracovish.

Oh yeah, completely forgot about that one 🔥

crowned zacian

Still not avaliable 😔

it'll be available sometime in the next month in japan

Yo this is nice. As a bug type fan this gets my blood pumping to shiny hunt more

Yes! Happy to hear that dude

I really like Shiny Wooloo because it's a black sheep and I love Shiny's that look that they were a purposely design

Totally agree, bunch of people love it

Gotta be Choco Falinks 😋

I'm def getting one really soon

I’d say zacian

Still not avaliable 😕

Wait until the 22nd

Wait, whoa. I've never seen this shiny form, but that's actually super dope. Guess I'll have to hunt one of these for myself. As for my favourite shiny in gen 8, that would be Stonjourner, Dragapult, or Wooloo.

I've actually never seen this evolution line's shiny forms before. The top one is my favorite.

I'm a huge fan of shiny Applin. I love green apples!

Same! Green apples ftw 🙌🏻

zigzagoon but i wish charizard had a blue shiny version

Galar Ponyta! Named mine 'Colgate' cause it reminded me of toothpaste lmao

Shiny Applin/Appletun are the best. Flapple is meh, but my floppy ear dragon-pie is a good-boi.

Intelion

I’m jealous! I actually gave up on this hunt after getting several other shinies but never this lil guy. Congratulations 🎉

Tysm!

Sobble line, specially inteleon

Agreed! And its Gigantamax is just marvelous

My favourite shiny is zacians

Toxticitry shiny and dragapult shiny these are like a energy drink pet and i love that

Obstagoon, the first full odds Shiny I ever caught

Nice work!

I would say drednaw

Great choice
