Pokémon The 15 Best Pink Shiny Pokémon Ranked
Pokémon come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. When they're shiny, they're even better! We take a look at our favorite pink shiny Pokémon! gets most of the love from its fans due to the number of adorable and interesting creatures it creates and puts out into the world for trainers to catch. Many of these Pokémon are easy to find, but some take a little effort and patience to come across. If you have tremendous patience this might lead you to catch or breed a rare shiny version of your favorite battle partner. Let's look at the best shiny pink Pokémon and rank them based on how they compare to the natural forms of these beloved creatures. Updated September 5th, by Hayley Mullen: Pink is one of the most popular types of shiny Pokémon out there, not just because of its reoccurrence across many Pokémon species but also because pink is a truly lovable and appealing color. We've added some of the fan-favorites of the Pokémon who have gotten the pink shiny treatment over the years to round out this list and make it pretty as pink. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Hypno
Does Hypno's shiny form make the creature cute in an ugly cute sort of way? Theoretically, an argument can be made for that case. The biggest issue with Hypno is that the PR team behind this Pokémon has done nothing to silence or disprove rumors that this psychic-type creature . It's hard to cheer for a creature that would do something that vile, despite the stories of them doing that not amounting to more than a simple rumor. Its shiny form being pink makes it look more human-like which is quite troublesome. Wailord
This will likely be the most controversial entry on this list considering the fact that the shiny form of Wailord is often displayed as purple, pink, or a combination of the two. Depending on which version of the game it is, or the model that's used, its shiny form sports a different hue of a purple-pink color. Since Wailord is a beloved Pokémon partially due to the fact that it's the largest creature in existence we'll go with the notion that it's at least partially pink in its shiny form. What's cooler than a giant blue whale? A pinkish purple one, of course. Aerodactyl
Aerodactyl was one of the original fossil Pokémon that were dinosaurs inside the world of the games and were resurrected by brilliant scientists and researchers. Its natural appearance features a grey skin with purple inside of its incredibly large wings. For the shiny version of this ancient beast, it sports bright pink skin and its wings take on a rich midnight blue tone. In some ways the shiny form makes Aerodactyl look much more cartoonish, but it helps in giving it more of a personality and has it looking less like a default dinosaur Pokémon. Toxapex
For those unfamiliar, Toxapex is a poison and water that encompasses itself in a sea urchin-like dome of protection. Common forms of this water-dwelling creature have the dome of protection in a light blue shade with hints of purple and pink. If you happen to breed or come across its shiny form you'll be surprised at the monochromatic deep pink its entire body is covered in. Normally poisonous creatures are brightly colored to warn predators, but being a bloody pink color probably also does the trick. Toxel
All of the Pokémon designers at should applaud themselves for nailing the design of Toxel. This apathetic and disinterested looking baby dinosaur is so adorable and looks cute no matter what color it is. Normally Toxel is a purple little thing with a lightning bolt-like shape imprinted in its forehead. Its shiny version makes it mostly pink but does a brilliant thing in keeping its diaper-looking rear and tail a nice bright shade of purple. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on a Toxel plushie as soon as possible. Quagsire
There are many Pokémon in the series that go from blue to pink when shiny (and vice versa.) On top of sporting the same tiny little beady eyes as Ditto, Quagsire does the reverse of the lovable goo and becomes a lovely shade of purplish pink. It doesn't make the creature any less off-putting or awkward, but it does make it look even more Ditto-like. If you're into Quagsire, then you likely already have an opinion on whether the shiny form is its better form or not, but it's hard to deny that pink suits this wetland-dweller quite well. Mienshao
Back when space was limited on cartridges, Game Freak would determine shiny colors by switching out a Pokémon's normal color palette from the next suitable one in the game's code, specifically Pokémon Gold, Silver, & Crystal's code. This is why some Pokémon look indistinguishable from their original forms (and why some Pokémon look downright bad). Pokémon Mienshao is one of the first examples of purposeful shiny design, and what a design it is. Beginning with Generation VI, Game Freak began to pick color palettes for shinies individually, resulting in more unique shinies, if not better. Mienshao has a unique and elegant design to begin with, but switching out its purple features for a flattering pink and eliminating yellow entirely is what makes it such a phenomenal shiny to see. Ampharos
Each selection from this entire line of fluffy creatures makes an excellent contender for best pink shiny, but the final evolution Ampharos arguably does it the best out of all three Pokémon. Not only does it add the blue elements from its first stage, Mareep, but it also continues the pink theme from its second stage, Flaaffy. Best of all is its majestic Mega Evolution, where its body becomes the perfect shade of pastel pink contrasted with the pure white of its undoubtedly soft mane. It seems that dragons take to pink extremely well, if Ampharos and Dragonair are evidence. Crobat
Both Crobat's common and shiny forms both display the same type of color scheme energy those shopping at Hot Topic are looking for. Normally Crobat is purple (most likely to denote its ) with teal wings and piercing yellow eyes. When it comes to its shiny form it decides to turn into an acid trip and instead has its body enveloped in the brightest pink imaginable and its wings become a Monster Energy drink shade of green. It makes for adorable fan art and such, but boy is it rough on the eyes the more and more you look at it. In every way, it's the cotton candy bubblegum of shiny Pokémon. Dragonair
Most Pokémon fans to this day still don't understand how the Dratini evolutionary line results in Dragonite. From a design perspective, the leap between Dragonair and Dragonite is so weird for a variety of reasons. That aside, Dragonair is a very elegant and regal looking Pokémon that exudes a certain amount of feminine energy. All feminine things don't need to be pink, but the shiny form of Dragonair serves as a nice alternative to the traditionally blue . The unfortunate thing is that the pink Dragonair will eventually evolve into an olive green Dragonite. Heracross
With the addition of new regional variants of already existing pokémon being introduced with the 7th generation of games, fans have been wondering when Heracross was going to receive some love. The Single Horn Pokémon from the 2nd generation of games has been a longtime fan-favorite. Its shiny form ditches the deep navy blue for a bright pink but it still manages to keep all of its charm. Fans are hoping to see it get a Galarian form in the expansion pass for both in 2020. Jumpluff
What's more lovely than a ball of cotton blowing gently in the wind? A pink one with a cute face might do it. The majority of Jumpluff's fame comes from its soft and harmless nature, content to simply float across the world and scatter cotton spores wherever it goes. Jumpluff really captures the beauty and simplicity of nature and why it must be protected at all costs. Jumpluff's original Game Boy color sprite was a bold magenta, which was toned down in Generation III into the light pink it's now known for. One aspect that doesn't change is its little red eyes, which manage to be very cute rather than scary. Vaporeon
Players who have a spot in their hearts for cute Pokémon such as the Eeveelutions may see Vaporeon as being one of the Its entire body is a beautiful purple-pink similar to the likes of Quagsire and Heracross, but it works so well on Vaporeon's slick form that any criticisms of repetition don't hold much weight. It may not be the strongest of fighters in terms of its stats and movepool, but it gets plenty of love from fans to make up for it. In fact, it's guaranteed that any Pokémon out there is someone's favorite, no matter what their strength or design is like, and that's the real beauty of Pokémon. Swampert
Despite frogs being known for sporting all types of vibrant colors to warn predators of their poisonous bodies, toads and mudfish are often some forms of brown or green. Swampert's traditionally blue color is neat, but in terms of a water-type starter is pretty common and expected. What's not expected is for a 10-year-old Pokémon trainer to role up to a battle and throwing out a bright pink 5 ft. tall toad-like mudfish. Of course, the moment they underestimate a Pokémon because of their color is the moment they lose. Celebi
Once the most coveted and impossible shinies to attain in the games, Celebi is perhaps both the best pink shiny and an excellent legendary to battle with. Prior to the release of Pokémon Crystal on the 3DS, obtaining a legitimate shiny Celebi in a non-Japanese game was impossible, though games such as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon teased players with the non-playable shiny Celebi that was part of the main plot. Replacing Celebi's blue eyes with its original green coloring is an excellent design choice that makes both versions look fabulous side-by-side, as seen in Pokémon Journeys: The Series. Players looking for the best aesthetic and competitive ability don't have to look any further than Celebi.
