I got a Shiny Oshawott in Blueberry Academy's Polar Biome! Also plan to keep him as an Oshawott. 🎀
The little guy's name is Shinichi, who is an Oshawott OC I plan to draw and showcase again. His fullname is Shinichi Kurusu the Oshawott! 💧
Fun Fact: My first ever Shiny Pokemon was an Shiny Oshawott in Pokemon White, which is my very first Pokemon Game. 🎀
I was 10-years old at the time and I would usually make a New Game for fun, and unfortunately didn't know how rare Shiny Pokemon are (especially Shiny Starter Pokemon) back then. 🌊
But luckily in the recent years I got a bunch of Shiny Oshawotts (mainly Pokemon Go and Legends Arceus), with Shinichi being the first Shiny Oshawott for Pokemon Violet! 🌟

are shinies safe in the wild? i'm sure being a different color would be bad for camouflage.
yeah shiny pokémon tend to have a much higher mortality rate. not so much the color difference, more often the sparkle they give off. plus sometimes people poach them for food. i don't even think they taste any different

To celebrate the fact that I got my first Shiny Pokemon for Pokemon Violet, here's an artwork featuring the aforementioned Shiny Kirlia that I got ✨
It's the double agent Sven Svensson, who is in another new outfit based on his Shiny Kirlia form 💙
As a Shiny Kirlia, Sven will be one of the main members on my Pokemon Violet Team, and one of the two to remain in their middle-stage evolution 🎀

I've had a shiny Swellow for years -- I caught her in the wild and love her a lot, but would it be better to release her so she can breed with other wild Pokemon? I feel like increasing the shiny population in the wild is a better option than trying to breed them in captivity.
absolutely not. there's a Reason shiny pokémon are so uncommon in the wild. not only is the mutation INSANELY rare (and cannot even be passed down via heritage), but they are also just statistically less likely to survive. their glossy/different coloration makes them MUCH easier to spot and it doesn't usually assist their breeding chances. there's no reason to try and """increase wild shiny population"""

| Pokémon Scarlet/Violet | - The Shiny Hunt
I decided to put the first 100 shiny Pokémon I caught in SV together (because I hate myself)! This was actually a lot of fun to work on - here's to the next 100!
My Scarlet trainer Essie is just a giant dumb-dumb with the patience of a saint and nothing better to do like schoolwork
