New pieces of information about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been steadily releasing since the game was first unveiled earlier this year. There have been three official looks at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet at the time of writing, with each diving into more detail about the latest mainline games in the widely successful franchise. So far, fans have seen a look at the new Paldea region, characters that will be added to the story and, of course, new Pokemon to catch in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Something that hasn't yet been shown of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is what shiny Pokemon will look like in the game, which has led fans to create their own versions of the rare creatures. For the uninitiated, shiny Pokemon have a different design from their regular counterparts and they appear much more infrequently, although this has changed somewhat in recent games. For example, it is easier to shiny hunt in titles like Pokemon Legends: Arceus because the Pokemon can be seen in the overworld rather than only appearing when a player steps into tall grass.
A lot of Pokemon players love the shiny variants of the pocket monsters, with many adding the rare Pokemon to their teams as a badge of honor that shows how hard they worked to get it. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have their own versions of new shiny Pokemon, but one fan on Reddit couldn't wait for those titles to release in November. Instead user Immediate-Comb1755 designed their own shiny variations for Cetitan, Fidough, and Paldean Wooper, which were all new Pokemon unveiled in the latest trailer for Scarlet and Violet.
Cetitan, a new Ice-Type Pokemon, has an interesting new shiny design. Its usual look is mostly white, with a bit of gray around its mouth and stomach and pink spots on its hands and tail. The fan-made shiny variant instead swaps the white coloring of Cetitan to black, with red over its eyes and hands, giving it a much more intimidating look. The gray around its stomach has also been swapped for more of a steel or silvery color. Fidough's design keeps the cuteness of the combination of dough and dog, but swaps out the yellow color of the Pokemon with a pink makeover.
Paldean Wooper might be the most unique of the fan-made shiny designs, as it gives the new version of the Gen 2 Pokemon a look very similar to its past incarnation. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Paldean Wooper swaps out the traditional blue color for brown, symbolizing its new life on land. However, Immediate-Comb1755's design returns Wooper back to its original colors, much to the joy of some nostalgic fans in the comments.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release on November 18 for Nintendo Switch.
