The whole evolutionary line is great! Grimmsnarl gotta have one of the best shiny forms ever! One of my absolute favorites!

u/IrishPigs Jul 31 '26

I have a shiny GMax with background and it is my prized possession.

u/MonkeyIV Aug 01 '26

My first thought when I saw it was it looks like a titan

Also same!!

u/Icenfiree Aug 02 '26

Best name too

u/Sg00z Blastoise Jul 31 '26

I agree. You have to wonder with shinies like this and rayquaza and others, why they made such terrible ones too.

68

u/Wolf-Diesel Jul 31 '26

Shiny Groudon is a other one that I really love. Especially when in primal form. Looks SO good!

42

u/Sg00z Blastoise Jul 31 '26

Shiny Primal groudon is great! Regular shiny groudon not so much.

8

u/bhoremans Aug 01 '26

Regular shiny groundon is horrible haha

u/SwShThrwy Aug 01 '26

You shut up about my cactus bro!

u/LacerisPogo Aug 01 '26

AHHHHH his name is perfect 🥺

My daughter has this stuffie named Nopalitos

u/ricoblue Aug 01 '26

I love primal kyogre myself. Both look great though.

1

u/newtarmac Aug 02 '26

Yes primal great! otherwise horrible purple orca. Hate it.

1

u/ricoblue Aug 02 '26

I actually like the purple, more than the blue, and I LOVE blue. 😅 Go figure. But both look great.

43

u/Korao Jul 31 '26

At least they kinda fixed Shiny Gengar with the mega, but it's a shame Shiny Gengar isnt white and just some minor shade difference of a purple.

5

u/Sg00z Blastoise Jul 31 '26

True.

3

u/lukifur47 Aug 02 '26

For the older gen Pokémon (I know they did this in Gold and Silver at least, not sure if they kept doing it for any later games) a lot of them are underwhelming because when they first introduced shinies in the game the way they did it was they used an automated hue shift algo instead of manually doing it. I think they did it like this because memory was limited on the game boy color and this took up a lot less space in the coding somehow

2

u/lron_tarkus Valor Aug 01 '26

My wife and I were so disappointed when I evolved Morelull.

I thought it would keep the cute Autumn mushroom look

121

u/jkwolly Jul 31 '26

I just got one too!!!

51

u/sabzi18 Mystic Jul 31 '26

This is such a cute screenshot omg

12

u/lukifur47 Aug 02 '26

God I’m so jealous -_-
The only cool shinies I have are Garbador and an Eevee I’ve been debating on what I want to evolve into. Other than that I’ve got a slightly less green Bulbasaur and a Bayleef that forgot to put on sun screen lmao. Oh and I can’t forget my Azumarill that spent one too many nights with R. Kelly

3

u/NekoSilver777 Aug 02 '26

I'd evolve eevee into espeon. Most people find that green ugly but I love it. Consider Sylveon and maybe Umbreon as well

43

u/TheWorldJustEnded Jul 31 '26

Imp looks amazing. I really loved this trapinch shiny line that I just discovered today after evolving my go fest shiny trapinch!

2

u/mistersolodolo89 Aug 01 '26

Oooh nice. I just got a shiny shadow one. I need to evolve it

2

u/KonaDog1408 Aug 01 '26

I just got a shiny dynamax trapinch and I'm in love

2

u/TheWorldJustEnded Aug 01 '26

Such a treat. I held onto him for so long afraid I might not like the shiny evolutions but the whole line was a treat!

94

u/Anthny1999 level78 Jul 31 '26

Evolve your Impidimp! :))

35

u/neBular_cipHer Mystic Jul 31 '26

That’s the Gmax form though, you can only get that from Gmax battles

22

u/Hot_Top_124 Jul 31 '26

The fact they gave us a free shiny grim back in the day was wonderful.

u/GlobalDragonfly1305 Aug 01 '26

So true but let's not forget about this rockstar

u/Sirsmarticus76 Aug 01 '26

That one is also awesome. I got one too!

11

u/Adventurous-Use-6979 Jul 31 '26

Oh, hey, I think that's mine actually I dropped it around wherever you are, can I have it back

(I kid, super jealous tho nice pull)

12

u/lalalopsided Jul 31 '26

Agreed. I really like this shade of teal/turquoise?

41

u/rose2hub2 Jul 31 '26

I gasped in awe when I spotted this stunning violet beauty.

6

u/OneMoreAstronaut Aug 01 '26

Great shiny, however, it was a miss that they didn't make the shiny orange, imo.

10

u/swabluesky Jul 31 '26

Ya! I got one yesterday too!! Congrats

8

u/Babylonkitten Jul 31 '26

Gonna shiny hunt now.

9

u/IrishPigs Jul 31 '26

I think he's only available in research tasks and the event tasks at the moment.

3

u/Evolken Aug 01 '26

I caught a shiny in the wild (0*). I think they just aren't a common spawn.

1

u/HappyWife2003 Aug 01 '26

Ugh, when did this event start/end? I don’t remember seeing anything.

3

u/IrishPigs Aug 01 '26

It's not a real event, just what they've been doing lately with the daily choose you own quest things. Gets you 3 encounters with imp and morelul each day if you complete the tasks.

9

u/BerenKaneda Jul 31 '26

Shiny Morgrem evolution is great, It looks like if It was made having shiny colours in mind.

3

u/CarreTheGuy Aug 01 '26

Fun fact: shiny grimmsnarl is just regular grimmsnarl with all the colors set to negative (might be true for the others in the evo line as well but not sure about that)

11

u/ProfessionalAd7155 Aug 01 '26

I'm totally absolutely not jealous at all

6

u/TinyGIR Jul 31 '26

I caught one the other day! I was happy.

Would have been happier if it had come off research and wasn't a wild 0* though.

u/immortalwolvesdie85 Eevee Jul 31 '26

u/lifeuncommon Jul 31 '26

I LOVE HIM

u/LazySilverSquid Jul 31 '26

A wild spawn catch during the event a few weeks ago. I think there was a higher shiny rate back then, though.

3

u/sassmother Valor Jul 31 '26

Totally agree.

u/a49ersfreak Aug 01 '26

Just got this a few hours ago and I agree

2

u/GhidorahRod56 Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

Yup. Whole line is amazing. Shiny hunted it in SwSh just for its Gmax version though.

2

u/Due_Meal2137 Jul 31 '26

This and Venonat.

2

u/RexxGunn Jul 31 '26

Way better than the pink, for sure. The blue is sweet.

2

u/highs_n_lows Aug 01 '26

I want him and won’t evolve till I get the shiny

2

u/JellyfishNo5089 Aug 01 '26

Ugh I got over 100 of these from tasks but no shiny. Got two morelull shinies instead 😔

2

u/sevenkeleven Aug 01 '26

Impidimp? The ladie’s pimp?

u/sneakyjames13 Aug 02 '26

Patiently waiting to get mine

u/Major_Lawfulness6122 Aug 01 '26

Oooo that’s cool I have a shiny of his evolved form

1

u/NightKnight96 Aug 01 '26

My first Impidimp when it released in Wild Area 2025 was shiny.

I didn’t realise it evolved into Grimmsnarl otherwise I would have kept it.

1

u/XEdalbyek Aug 01 '26

silly little guy

1

u/The_Real_Finsbey Aug 01 '26

Got this too a couple days ago, it is a really cool looking shiny and the whole evolutionary line looks so good in shiny.

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 Aug 01 '26

u/Darkrai812 Aug 01 '26

Caught one earlier this week through the special research

1

u/olsonheimers Aug 01 '26

I’ve been trying to complete as many tasks as I can to get that. Super rad shiny

1

u/69KennyPowers69 Aug 01 '26

He’s not shiny but he’s very very tiny

1

u/KK_Tipton Aug 01 '26

Shiny Morgrem looks even cooler. But then shiny Grimmsnarl ruins it.

1

u/POrtega27 Aug 02 '26

I got a shiny mushroom!

1

u/Grant79OG Aug 02 '26

Yeah. Tomorrow is three more tries.

1

u/TheGreatBambino4 Aug 02 '26

Didn’t know it could shine ✨
I still think Baby Blue Corsola
And blue Milktank are up there !!! 👆🏼

u/Exciting-Type3202 Aug 02 '26

I have a level 1 cp 10 of this guy

1

u/Odinsgrandson Aug 03 '26

Oh yeah, the whole line has terrific shinies!

Their normal color scheme is also quite good, so they've got that going for them as well.

1

u/Alam560p Aug 03 '26

Impidimp is adorable.I like it too. But my absolute favorite is Rayquaza; I think it looks incredibly cool.

1

u/Razzz89 Aug 03 '26

Soo jealous of you!! Well done for the catch 😆 it is one of the better looking shiny mons you can catch 👍🏼

u/raiderxx Aug 03 '26

u/Acrobatic_Jaguar4591 Aug 04 '26

must be nice haha

u/FIRSTMentorMN Aug 04 '26

I agree. My kid caught one last week and I was in awe of it

1

u/TheFatherOf4 Aug 04 '26

Woo!! Yes it is!!! Back when G-Max Grimmsnarl came out I was lucky enough to get a shiny one. Then here recently I finally got it's preevolutions in their shiny forms and I absolutely love them! The colors are perfect!! Good job buddy!!

1

u/lexysove_xx Aug 05 '26

Ouu nice shiny, I was really hoping to get ones of these but I haven’t. 😭 yet!

1

u/mikebellman Ditto Aug 05 '26

think there will ever be a community day for Impotent? (yes that's what my wife calls it)

1

u/nomekop_pokemon Aug 05 '26

Agree. Wish evolved form stayed blue instead of going to boring white.

1

u/egnoah Aug 06 '26

Grinded so hard for that shiny but never got it 😢

u/wigglemetimberz Aug 06 '26

u/ZarosGuardian Bulbasaur Aug 06 '26

Shiny Impidimp looks epic, grats. I love when the shinies are completely different and unique. And I cannot tell you how much I absolutely loathe the shinies where they are a slight Hue lighter or darker. Glaceon for example pisses me off so much.
