After consulting with other Pokemon trainers about which Eeveelution to select for their Shiny, the conversation turned into a criticism of the least impressive choices.
Eevee, a beloved Pokemon, is renowned for its numerous evolutions, affectionately known as Eeveelutions, which transform the cute creature into a formidable elemental creature. Due to Eevee’s widespread appeal, it comes as no surprise that its rare Shiny form is highly sought after, especially by those determined to capture every Pokemon.
Despite players’ opinions, not all Shiny Eeveelutions are considered valuable, and some designs have been deemed as “underwhelming.”
Upon receiving a Shiny Eevee in the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet subreddit, a player posed the question of which evolution would have the most impressive impact. In response, fellow fans were quick to express their preferences and dislikes.
Just got A Shiny Eevee- Which would be the best eveelution for maximum wow factor? byu/Mama_Moonie inPokemonScarletViolet
One user recommended choosing either Umbreon or Sylveon, praising their Shinies (as well as Shiny Eevee) as “excellent.”The commenter also described Espeon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon as “good,”while labeling Leafeon, Glaceon, and Flareon as “mediocre.”
The general consensus among others was in line with this sentiment, and it is not difficult to see why. Both Shiny Sylveon and Umbreon have striking color schemes – Shiny Sylveon inverts its usual coloring, while Shiny Umbreon’s blue highlights beautifully complement its black fur. However, the Shiny versions of Leafeon, Glaceon, and Flareon are hardly discernible from their regular appearances.
Some may find Espeon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon to be divisive, as they are all quite dramatic in their palette swaps.
Several individuals proposed alternative designs for the Eeveelutions that sparked debate, including a brown color scheme inspired by autumn for Leafeon, as well as different color variations for the Fire-type Flareon and Ice-type Glaceon.
The poster appeared willing to leave their Shiny discovery as it was. In reply to a suggestion not to evolve the Pokemon, they referred to Shiny Eevee as a “Darling snow kitten.”
It is intriguing that the Shiny Eeveelutions do not adhere to any specific patterns. The variety of their designs and the reaction from fans reflect the overall sentiments of players towards Shiny Pokemon.
Some designs, such as Umbreon and Rayquaza, clearly stand out, while others, like Espeon and Mareep, are subject to divided opinions due to their dramatic palette swaps. However, certain designs, like Glaceon and Garchomp, receive criticism for their almost identical color schemes.
Your favorite Eeveelution’s Shiny form may not live up to your expectations. However, the fact that these Pokemon elicit a range of reactions from fans towards their Shiny designs is fitting for the Evolution Pokemon.
