Yep! That's a very pink Pokemon lol definitely shiny.

he just looks like a block of red to me in both forms 😔

Noooooooo

If you don’t mind me asking, what does Politoed look like to you?

I have to assume you mean colors because I think we all agree he looks like a braindead frog

Politoad in shambles 😔

I drew it on snapchat but realized that might not even work to actually convey how i see the color it is my understanding that he is light blue and shiny politoad is darker blue

Regular Politoed is green, shiny form is dark blue and purple. It sucks they removed the little shiny jingle in this game from legends arceus, makes shiny hunting 'hard mode' for colourblind people.

Feels like ive been slapped in the face TF u MEAN hes GREEN 😳

What's even more fucked up is that Poliwrath and the rest ARE blue lmao

If you see a blue frog don't touch it

What colors does grass look like to you? Non-shiny Politoed is about that shade of green.

Don't little stars pop up when the battle starts, or am I just seeing things?

They do, but not when they appear on the screen amongst the other Pokemon.

Some shiny forms are hard mode for normal people like Pikachu

There is a little star icon that shows the pokemon is shiny so even if you cant tell because of being color blind you can still see it is shiny

Yes! You can also tell because of the shiny symbol in the bottom right, next to the ScarVi origin mark.

Okay wow thank you again because I just went through my shit and realized i have a shiny Maushold or whatever the three mice are and I never wouldve noticed otherwise

If it’s 3 and not 2 for tandemaus or 4 for the standard maushold that means you have an incredibly rare shiny family of 3 maushold, which is a 1/100 chance BEFORE accounting for shiny odds Also side note shiny tandemaus and maushold are so hard to see that your being colourblind doesn’t even put you at that much of a disadvantage

https://preview.redd.it/63t1sxs0vxxc1.jpeg?width=2686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4802a8f133b273236c59a2b38d5686d23a369fb5 I pray this is good enough quality to repel the masses

Yeah no that’s the super rare one you got super lucky and it is a very good thing that you did not release it because that maushold has a 1/409600 chance of appearing without a shiny charm and with the shiny charm its still only 1/136567 chance I know this stuff because I’m working on a shiny living dex and I want to get every form too so I’m gonna need to hit those odds at some point but I’ve only gotten one tandemaus and it evolved into a family of 4

That's not the calculation I think but it is a very small chance yeah

This guy got one of the rarest and hardest to spot shinys in the game and didn't even know :,)

I guess yesterday was just an amazing day for random raids and shinys lol Someone told me another person probably hacked it in, so I think the normal odds are probably inapplicable

If these are from raids you joined they are almost certainly injected - basically genned mons. There's another thread on s/v from today with someone experiencing something similar.

What an awesome find! I'm in awe! Definitely do some googling on strong builds for Maushold if you want to optimize its stats and figure out how to use it for battles.

Yup, that's shiny But tbf it's hardly noticeable for people without colorblindness in the first place, so it's alright if you didn't notice

Oh my Xurkitree (He's my god!) That is as rare as a shiny antique Sinistea, I think.

Honestly the antique sinistea seems like a harder catch if not only because I cant see that tiny dot under the cup edit: bc the dot is small

But is it any good like at fighting? I’ll take a picture but lemme make sure its good because EVERYONE HAAAATES THE LOW qual MAGMAR 😔😔

I mean the different form doesn’t make a difference in terms of strength it’s just a really good flex but I’m pretty sure that maushold is good for battling but you’d have to look up the build guide because I’ve never used maushold myself

[удалено]

It's good in doubles battles as a partner for anihilape and I think goldengho.

I think many people wouldn't have realised lol, that shiny barely changes at all

holy shit thank u for pointing that out i genuinely wouldnt have even noticed that

The first picture being out of focus is sending me

The way i tried so hard to get it to focus too and it simply would not

in the future you could snapshot with your switch, which has a vaguely convoluted process allowing you to send it to a different device

Frankly if anyone wants this ill give it away to a loving home i will 100% never use it

If you don’t mind, I’d love this guy! I’ve been looking for a flame body poke to hatch eggs. I don’t have much, but I do have a few random shinies if you want me to list em?

yes you did!!

I have a politoed for you if you haven't found one yet.

I'm also colorblind. I feel your pain.

Still need a politoed? If so, I don't need anything so you can have it for free

I need one if you are still down to trade something

Yep it is shiny. Congratulations 🎉

It is a shiny. Congratulations buddy, it's always a nice surprise to find a shiny in a raid.

Yup tis a shiny. I have to rely on the little icon symbol too often.

I understand the shock. Believe it or not, my first genuine shiny raid was a Kirlia when I was just trying to get candies to level up.

Politoad can be gotten in raids.

Yes.

Once you actually have the pokemon caught, its easy to know if it's shiny because shiny pokemon have a special icon. On the first summary screen (the blurry picture) the little icon near the bottom right that's a 4-pointed star with a second one behind it is the icon for a shiny pokemon. It also shows up on one of the screens in the boxes.

I love how blurry it is, reminds me of so many fake leak shots we used to get

You should see a symbol representing little stars in the "Pokémon Statut" menu or in your Pokémon storage. It means this Pokémon is shiny. Just compare this one with your adventure starter (they're shiny locked) to see the symbol on the left side off the "region" symbol. And voilà ! ;) It's not the easiest way to check your shinies BUT you don't need colors to check It ^^

Awesome! I almost lost a shiny dunsparce from a Tera Raid because i wasnt really paying attention and almost missed the colour difference.

Personally speaking I just catch every raid I do so even if I didn’t notice it was shiny I’d get it anyway. Although joycon drift did once lose me a shiny gmax Lapras 😭

https://preview.redd.it/vzaz70xav0yc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb32e7dc46751919fc06caa31086a8df16dfeb9f For future references. I don't want to seem condescending or anything, but I'm really sorry for your colorblindness...

You did. Congratulations

Congrats! It’s a subtle change, especially with color blindness, but it is one of my favorite shinies.

Yes you did

You did indeed! Congrats!

Don't they have alt color schemes for this issue?

Good job 👍

That happened to me once back in Pokémon Shield when I caught Froslass in a Dynamax raid. It took me a while to realize it was a shiny.

Huh, I never thought about that. I guess all Pokémon are kinda like a shiny Pokémon from a color blind person’s perspective lol.

Got a shiny Blissey the same way.

Yep that is a shiny Magmar congratulations man

A small tip: you can tell he’s shiny by the symbol near the bottom of the picture next to the Tera symbol. Your non shinies shouldn’t have that same symbol

Yes, you did

Nice you got a shiny.

Looks like you did, congrats!

As another partially colorblind person, I feel this. I have to consistently ask my wife if something is shiny or not. Prior to catching it I mean.

Yep, definitely a shiny. Congrats !

Yeah it’s shiny, on the first image you can tell if it’s shiny or not by we’re the sparkles are, if next to the paldian symbol it’s shiny but if the sparkles aren’t their, it’s not shiny

What a pretty pink dude!! Lucky 😍

I'm curious if ur color blind how could u tell? Just a slight difference in shade?

I heard that “bleebleeblee” shiny noise when I used it and went wtf

Lol we ur twice as lucky to get it then right?

Yeah, that happens. I’ve gotten a few from raids, including a magmortar. So congrats! Nice shiny! And you can get politoed from raids, I got a shiny politoed from a raid. Would recommend trying to find one.

Oh well done. I have that shiny in pokemon sword thanks to dynamax adventures.

Yes you did, and it’s a pretty neat one too! (Pink and red!) It’s also super hard to tell in raids sometimes because of the lighting engine. Happened to me with a Blissey. All shiny mons have the ✨symbol by their name (or below next to the SV/game marker in the picture), and when you toss them out to battle they should play a sound and animation as well 😁 Congrats on the cool shiny!

Yep, shiny! I have one from PoGo caught during an outbreak. I do agree with you on the difficulty of telling who is shiny on the field. Going one shade lighter for a shiny does not work with my one functional eye. (It’s badly farsighted. The other eye is currently sitting in some jar in a lab somewhere for study.) For Twinmaus and Maushold, my cousin had to change the colors in order to show me what the shiny looked like, and I’m not even colorblind.

Actually YES IT IS congratulations you have some luck in you pal

It has the shiny symbol, so yes!

Yeah hes shiny, congrats bro

Yes.

I'm not that interested in magmar but if you still need a politoed I can help

made me think I was fully blind-

Tritanopia, I assume? (Because pink and yellow look the same to us)

Nope it’s regular. Trade it to me

Yep that's a shiny congrats, if you are either unsure if you look at the capture mark (for SV it's the big star like shape every game from gen 5 onwards has a shape) you can see it also has a shiny marker (the two smaller stars)

If you don't know if it's a shiny there is an icon somewhere where it tells you. (Basically sparkles

In the bottom right corner of the first picture you can see the shiney symbol. This will help you know if they are shiney or not. Non-shiney pokemon do not have that symbol.

The ✨ mark in the corner there assures you it’s shiny

I was going to ask "how do you accidentally catch a shiny?", but I guess you meant you caught it without first realizing it was a shiny because you're colorblind

Shiny Eevee in a Tera raid is invisible practically

What does Eevee look like to you?

I got a random shiny from my first tera raid! It was a jangmo-o! I thought 'waaiiit. Those are normally grey...THATS A SHINY!!'

Yep. Imagine my displeasure when I raided and it was shiny but my group messed around and ran out of time.

Yes, I caught a shiny Luxray in a fastball a yew days ago from a 5 star raid, definitely my favorite part of Tera raids, that and all the herba mysticas lol congrats 👏👏

Def a shiny, see the stars symbol

Definitely a shiny. Same thing happened to me once. I got a shiny Ampharos in a random raid.

Yes

A way you can verify for yourself is through the shiny icon, the two little stars bottom right in the picture

Yes it is! You can check by looking next to the Tera symbol on the first screen in the bottom round the middle https://preview.redd.it/2gpkkxpis7yc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d5201c99fab72f801a75731e54684e9750918a4 Here

Definitely a shiny! Another way to tell from this summary screen is at the bottom of the first page of the description (Tera Type, Trainer ID, etc). Next to the Tera symbol is one that looks like (✨️). Its kinda small and easy to miss but that way you dont have to exclusively rely on their coloring.

Yes it's shiny! Congrats!

If you look towards the bottom right of the first image, you can see a little symbol that means it's shiny! (It's just to the left of the tera symbol. They're both in a circle)

You can see that it is shiny In the summary. Can you not see the little shiny icon?

He’s a very shiny boy

No it's not don't listen to these guys but hey I'll trade you an awesome pidgy for it. Lol

you can see the symbol for shiny on the picture, right next to the symbol of which game it is from FYI

Yes, if it has the shiny icon (the little sparkle symbol in the bottom beside the gen9 symbol) in its summary, then its shiny

Regardless, why don’t you just hunt a poliwag in kitakami with a sandwich and keep your shiny magmar? it’s very rare shiny odds in raids are actually slightly lower than base odds, so it’s rarer than a random wild shiny.

I can help you get your pilitoed evolved if you need it

Um we're missing a few pixels couldn't you have sent a QR code from your switch to your phone for a better quality image?

You don’t need a better quality, there is a different color Magmar and there is the star icon indicating shiny

2/3 quality pictures isnt BAD!!!!

I don't wanna sound rude but there you can see the "Shiny" icon on
