I’ve heard a pretty good “explanation” for the Gen 1 Eeveelution’s shinies. All the Eeveelutions represent a specific color on the spectrum (Vaporeon is blue, it’s shiny is purple; Jolteon is yellow, it’s shiny is green; Flareon is red, it’s shiny is orange). Shiny Eevee is white because white light is every color mixed together.
If you wanna double down on absurd yet "accurate" reasoning, Jigglypuff line gets green eyes because the "green-eyed monster" refers to jealousy and Jiggly is MAD when others sing!
@@Meowzipan Same! They really need to redo most shinies, since I can safely bet that at least half of all shinies are just green. Nidoqueen would look great in purple!
If I could throw a thought out there-- Now that I think about. The story was something about Team Rocket forcing the Magikarp to evolve, if I remember correctly. Red Gyrados could be a symbol of a regular red Magikarp being forced to evolve prematurely, so it still has its red color.
@@cintronproductions9430 No. That specific one. This is way before Game Freak played with the idea of having altered Pokemon like Notched Ear Pichu. So, they just made red the only shiny color.
@@cintronproductions9430 Your'e one of those people huh? 😂 Just because he said THAT SPECIFIC Gyarados is red because of something like a forced evolution, does NOT mean hes saying ALL of them must be red because of this. He didnt even hint at that, just mentioned this one pokemon, in this one situation ⚠️☢🤯⚠️🙄☢🤯⚠️☢
That's the lore of that specific Red Gyarados. The problem here is in a normal game setting is if you caught it as a Magikarp instead, it wouldn't be red
Fun Fact about blue ice: as the ice becomes further compacted, the light scattering and transparency do this thing where the blue light is scattered. Its not colder ice its more compressed and "pure"
hell even some of the gen 6-7 shines could be summed up with: It looks neat Also Lycanroc was made to look like the color of the sky COME ON, LOCKSTIN!
Actually, rapidash's grey flame makes sense :D! There is such a thing as grey fire, which is actually so cold that it's hot. It can only be produced (from what I'm aware of) and recreated in a lab only, and is extremely hard to reproduce (again, from what I remember reading)
I love how even some of the algorithm chosen shiny palettes can be surprisingly appropriate. Makes you wonder which of the good gen 1 - 5 shinies are pure coincidence and which were manually tampered with.
It's obvious what Gamefreak should do now. Remake the Before-Generation-6-Shinys! Make them have Meaning, give them a choosen Design instead of Randomness that many times looks awful as Heck! Eye-Cancer like Shiny-Simsala is just one random Example... my god... They should Remake Things, and fix things, before they start adding a new Feature. People will rightfully hate on them again, and i will do too, when the next Big Feature is "Minimaxing", which makes Pokemon, listen, listen... Mini! It just makes them small! Heck, i hope they get themselves together and fix what already exists.
@@slevinchannel7589 I agree, I mean this is basically what they did to Charizard because it "looks cooler" I guess, but, then again, it would not make sense for Ash to have a golden Noctowl or etc etc... Especially with all of those previous examples being confirmed shinies
Arcanine and ninetales were likely chosen shinies as arcanine was a gold exclusive whereas ninetales was a silver exclusive. Also the machamp line may be green for orcs.
@@phelps6205 This has been debunked multiple times.

I wish Butterfree's shiny was the pink one from the Bye Bye Butterfree episode of the anime. I wonder if they'll ever bring the Crystal Onix to the game
Name Man they changed shiny colors before some Pokémon like Charizard and Smeargle got drastic color changes to make them better so they can do that IF they wanted to
Name Man to make the fans happy? There are loads of shiny variations from gens 1 to 5 that barely changes or have colors that almost universally hated so they can change them plus they already did that RECENTLY with the release of Pokémon home castform received shiny variations to its weather forms and if I’m not mistaken Magearna got the same treatment
Actually actually, you can make a case for the three eeveelusions. The original ones were yellow, red and blue respectively, which are the primary colors, and when they turn shiny, they become the secondary color their original color was the most resembling to (Purple resembles blue the most, light green resembles yellow the must and orange resembles red the most) So yeah, ta da, that's my theory
The thing with Diglett’s Gen 2 Sprite getting the blue Dirt was simply a colour limitation. Due to the four colour maximum Pokémon Effectively had 2 colours outside the Transparent colour and the outline colour
I remember an old video stating their opinion about the shiny colors of Ninetails and Arcanine, and I would like to leave it here: In Gold and Silver (the introduction of Shiny Pokémon), the two fire types were version-exclusive counterparts. Considering this and their similarities (fire stone, similar animal origin, two-stage evo. line, etc.), it is fair to believe the colors are representative of the duality of the two games. HeartGold Arcanine & SoulSilver Ninetails
Firestone? Maybe I misinterpreted this, but I've never needed a firestone to evolve growlithe into Arcanine or vulpix into ninetails, so Im confused as to why the firestone was mentioned.
@@arthurgangnon3504 Maybe that was changed along the way, but the current wikipedias say Fire Stone for Growlithe... Maybe I missed something with the past, but I think my point still can stand on its own. Thanks for pointing that out

I think Mew was intentionally tampered with to justify it's look at the beginning of the opening theme song in gen1 Pokemon. It was blue when the show began so they just made it the shiny variant.
@@gameb9oy Fair concern. I doubt they'd be that incompetent though. They've got a team of artists who know their stuff. Shiny umbreon is just a good design. The puke green ones are fugly and they know that. They just didn't change them for whatever reasons.
I kind of feel like there were a few others from Gen 1 that were curated like Charizard. Ninetales and Jigglypuff are great examples. Ninetails' shiny is just too perfect to have been randomly generated, and Jigglypuff's shiny instantly made anime Jigglypuff canon.
That’s a myth the “shiny” name came from the “shinning” Pokemon TCG and fans shorten it it’s not like Ssj Blue from Dragon Ball that’s a fan term later used in cannon
Tar 13 no it was a fan term shiny was coined due to the tcg yes but alternate colored versions of pokemon came out BEFORE that and werent called shiny until fans started calling them that then it became a canon term in gen 5 after an npc says it. Even in the anime they were called alternate color pokemon I remember when ash found an alternate color phantump
Tar 13 and even if the term shiny came from fans shortening shining thats doesnt mean that shiny was always canon it means that SHINING was canon and only for the tcg the canons are seperate and shining refers to shiny pokemon with special abilities not just shiny pokemon cuz there are shiny pokemon in the tcg that ARENT shining
My headcanon is that so many of them are green/greenish yellow/black because the original gameboy was in green and black. The jump to the gameboy color gave all pokemon a unique color scheme, so gen 1 pokemon get to revert to their classic green "colorless" version.
14:45 about Hitmonchan, yes gloves can be in every color, but most of the times you got Blue and Red. If not gloves then at least tapings around them or just corners colors typically called Red/Blue.
I always thought the thing they were going for was that the red gyarados (in the story) was that since it was evolved artificially it never grew out of its red magicarp color.
SankarPrime I came here to say this lol. I have always thought the red coloring should've been unique to that particular Gyarados and that it's shiny variant should've been a different color.
It's still surprising to me how many of these can have a completely reasonable explanation, which makes me think that the algorithm was used only for Pokemon's they couldn't figure out a shiny version of
Game creator: *makes something with some sort of hole/loose end in it* Theorist: *makes theory as to why it is* Game creator: "yeah let's just go with that"
Gen 2 was my first experience with pokemon and yes it was all the way back then that red gyardos was in my team. I was like 6 so I didn't understand what a shiny was till my sister showed me her shiny tangala it became my quest to catch a wild shiny. I finally got one...a rattata
Correction: a Kitsune will turn silver, white, or gold once they grow their 9th tail~ _A Kitsune is always immortal with supernatural powers or it'd just be a fox with multiple tails!~_
in game it´s mentioned by Lance, that Team Rockets Radio Waves forces the Magikarp to evolve, and that becomes the more angry Gyarados still being the color of Magikarp
That momento when you didn't mentioned the fact that Ninetales inspiration (The kitsune) is often represented as a grey silver fox And that it was exclusive for pokemon SILVER. ITS A REALLY COOL SHINY. And arcanine too, he's gold like the game he's exclusive from and the statues he's based from are gold.
I feel like I'm the only person who really likes shiny Espeon; it isn't even close to the color I associate with "puke", it's a vibrant neon green that I really like - I vastly prefer lighter greens like lime or neon to darker ones; I also really like shiny Vaporeon
So this is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I enjoyed the limited use of jump cuts. It lets the video (and you) breathe, instead of cutting after every sentence. And it also makes it seem like you actually planned out what you were going to say before you filmed it.
The explanation for Victreebel is that, When viewed under UV light, pitcher plants glow (usually blue but sometimes green) to mimic flowers which also glow under UV to attract and guide pollinators to the nectar and more importantly pollen. However, instead of nectar and pollen, all insects get is being digested when they fall into the pitcher. I wasn't a fan of Victreebel's shiny until I learned that.
Actually . . . in a sense. In R/B/G/Y, shiny Pokémon don't really exist, but when transferred to G/S/C, any Pokémon with Determinant Values (or DVs) within a few specific parameters will turn shiny upon arriving. Same with R/B/Y in the eShop transferring to Sun/Moon, but the calculations change slightly.
I think the Doduo line is also partially inspired by the bird called the kiwi and Kiwi fruit are brown on the outside and green on the inside so... maybe? I love shiny Grimer and Muk, reminds me of the Slimy Little Piles and Master Belch from EarthBound
I like how Lockston calls the color a yellow when in reality people consider Shiny Charmander, Charmeleon, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Pidgeot, Fearow, and Spearow to be the color of gold.
Description: "Why is whiny mew blue?" Probably because it knows Captivate and will always fail cause it's gender-less so it whines to their Ditto friend on why it can't charm anyone.
A good correlation you can make about Nidoqueen is that since it's a mother who takes care of her young, her body can somewhat camouflage with grasslands. With he body being able to camouflage, she can cover her young while keeping them close. Of course it doesn't make much sense since regular Nidoqueen doesn't match their surroundings, but you could make a debate that the regular Nidoqueen cover her young regardless and their color signifies she is poisonous, which scare predators, and Shiny Nidoqueen camouflages, which predators ignore
I love how self aware this channel has become and how straightforward Lockstin is about it. "This video is complete BS" Or in some of the videos just before SwSh: "This video is basically just filler and we have no idea why we decided to do this, but HEY, YOU'RE WATCHING IT SO WE'LL KEEP DOING IT!"
If i remember correctly, Shiny Gyarados is red because the free one in G/S/C/HG/SS is a Magikarp that evolved early due to the Lake of Rage. Hence it kept the red coloration.
Lockstin, please!!! for the last time marine reptiles and flying reptiles *are not dinosaurs* is important that people know this! Also Lycanroc was made to look like the color of the sky! Midday is a light blue and Midnight is a deep dark blue! am I crazy for thinking this?
Green Shinies can look great in certain cases! But then you have 90% of other green Shinies that just look... eugh, and it makes me sad. I mean, Shiny Espeon is a green alien thing! That’s great! And Kabuto being green fits, too!
DetectiveBarricade that is true but the same can be said for the Alolan forms also mentioned in this video. Most Megas don’t drastically change colour except for a few and when they do it’s intentional like Charizard or Gengar. I don’t think there’s enough content on Kanto Megas to do a whole video on too. Unless there’s gonna be a round up of all Megas in a future video.
My first playthrough of gold and silver I did not encounter one shiny Pokemon outside of the Red Gyarados. I didn't know Shinies were a thing until years later 😂

8:00 it says Oddish, Gloom & Parasect instead of Oddish, Gloom & Vileplume
In conclusion this video is completely ruined
He has two pikachus dressed up as Mario and Luigi so that makes it ok
Okay but Gyarados is missing the second A-
Lockstin & Gnoggin without context:

Do a compilation of these moments please
Perfection
Game creator: *makes something with some sort of hole/loose end in it*
Theorist: *makes theory as to why it is*
Game creator: "yeah let's just go with that"
More like Game creator: we can neither confirm nor deny.
Gnoggin "Ekans also gets this green pea color"
Me "dude you pee green!?!?!?"
Iirc the shiny gyarados was due to team rocket evolving magikarp unnaturally, and it kept its color. Idk if this was in gold/silver but it was in hgss
Gen 2 was my first experience with pokemon and yes it was all the way back then that red gyardos was in my team. I was like 6 so I didn't understand what a shiny was till my sister showed me her shiny tangala it became my quest to catch a wild shiny. I finally got one...a rattata
Ralco Gaming at least you got one, and that’s all that matters.
@@shardtheduraludon well I also have a shiny zygarde from one of the giveaways, but since I didn't catch it I dont count it.
Ralco Gaming Yeah, I can see your point, at least we earned the shiny Zeraora that Nintendo is gonna give out.
@@shardtheduraludon no kidding. It was kinda dumb how we couldn't just catch him.
I love how this channel is slowly becoming less and less child friendly. Take another deep sipp.
Shiny Ninetales may be a reference to Nine-Tails kitsune’s in myth turn silver when they turn immortal.... i think
Correction: a Kitsune will turn silver, white, or gold once they grow their 9th tail~
_A Kitsune is always immortal with supernatural powers or it'd just be a fox with multiple tails!~_
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions Clarification: which is when they turn 1000 years old.
Interesting how he glossed over Red Gyarados’s connection to normal Magikarp.
Espeon’s Shiny pokemon is pretty cool now :0
No it’s not
It looks pretty cool to me :/
I like it
I wish the shiny was a lighter blue
*cries in liking shiny espeon*
in game it´s mentioned by Lance, that Team Rockets Radio Waves forces the Magikarp to evolve, and that becomes the more angry Gyarados still being the color of Magikarp
"BUT THEY ALSO EAT CHILDREN AND THAT'S WHY HIS BEAK IS STAINED THAT WAY!" … XD
The truth may be worse than the folklore, killed by their families due to starvation, or so I've heard.
And hands.
7:23 "silver foxes are a thing" show a picture of the dude that plays sexy colonel sanders
The Dating Sim
Ahdjaohrudnx
That momento when you didn't mentioned the fact that Ninetales inspiration (The kitsune) is often represented as a grey silver fox
And that it was exclusive for pokemon SILVER.
ITS A REALLY COOL SHINY.
And arcanine too, he's gold like the game he's exclusive from and the statues he's based from are gold.
Omega Force Zero that I exactly what I said
Shiny magikarp even failing at being shiny by turning into the color of it's common real life counterpart
I feel like I'm the only person who really likes shiny Espeon; it isn't even close to the color I associate with "puke", it's a vibrant neon green that I really like - I vastly prefer lighter greens like lime or neon to darker ones; I also really like shiny Vaporeon
i think its nice
8:00 “Oddish, Gloom, and Vileplume*”
WTF, how does one confuse Vileplume for Parasect!? 😂😂😂
@@cintronproductions9430 guess they both have big red umbrellas on top
it just cycled to the next name in the algorithm...
Can you do a review of the Dreepy line yet? And why it didn't become a "normal" fossil Pokemon?
It defied extinction by becoming a ghost, I guess.
Makes me think of the Princess Bride. The species became "Mostly Dead" not all the way dead. xD
Dreepy hates normality, so it decided to be a not fossil and be a ghost.
Me : I want a shiny >:(
Mom: we have shinies at home
Shinies at home (in gen 1) : *GREEN AND MAGENTA*
either that or such a small change you can't even tell
So this is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I enjoyed the limited use of jump cuts. It lets the video (and you) breathe, instead of cutting after every sentence. And it also makes it seem like you actually planned out what you were going to say before you filmed it.
The explanation for Victreebel is that, When viewed under UV light, pitcher plants glow (usually blue but sometimes green) to mimic flowers which also glow under UV to attract and guide pollinators to the nectar and more importantly pollen. However, instead of nectar and pollen, all insects get is being digested when they fall into the pitcher. I wasn't a fan of Victreebel's shiny until I learned that.
Me: Can you even get shinies in Gen 1?
Lockstin: Well yes, but actually no.
Actually . . . in a sense. In R/B/G/Y, shiny Pokémon don't really exist, but when transferred to G/S/C, any Pokémon with Determinant Values (or DVs) within a few specific parameters will turn shiny upon arriving. Same with R/B/Y in the eShop transferring to Sun/Moon, but the calculations change slightly.
Creating wild theories out of things that have reasonable explanations. Isn't that Mat Pat's thing.
The amount of shade that the word dexit makes me laugh all the time
For Rapidash, you missed the opportunity to call the "ghost horse" a nightmare
7:57
Ah yes, the classic oddish line.
Oddish.
Gloom.
And my favorite...
PARASECT.
9:14 Missed opportunity to put Sasha into the spotlight again.
You forgot to mention that Machoke's eyes and the arm stripes change from red to blue.
I think the Doduo line is also partially inspired by the bird called the kiwi and Kiwi fruit are brown on the outside and green on the inside so... maybe?
I love shiny Grimer and Muk, reminds me of the Slimy Little Piles and Master Belch from EarthBound
I think they are more inspired by moa
13:37 Gastly’s name being misspelled makes me remember Rick Ghastly
I like how Lockston calls the color a yellow when in reality people consider Shiny Charmander, Charmeleon, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Pidgeot, Fearow, and Spearow to be the color of gold.
Description: "Why is whiny mew blue?"
Probably because it knows Captivate and will always fail cause it's gender-less so it whines to their Ditto friend on why it can't charm anyone.
Whiny mew is blue because blue is the color of sad and IT WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW.
WHINY MEW
Gen 1 shinies be like: "YO YOU LIKE GREEN??"
18:14 Omg I love you so much right now for this specifically. Thank you
"This is my life now."
*chugs vodka in preparation for life*
Seems legit to me.
*chugs vodka in preparation for the video*
A good correlation you can make about Nidoqueen is that since it's a mother who takes care of her young, her body can somewhat camouflage with grasslands. With he body being able to camouflage, she can cover her young while keeping them close. Of course it doesn't make much sense since regular Nidoqueen doesn't match their surroundings, but you could make a debate that the regular Nidoqueen cover her young regardless and their color signifies she is poisonous, which scare predators, and Shiny Nidoqueen camouflages, which predators ignore
The ditto-mew theory had actually been largely confirmed in Detective Pikachu the movie
U sure? In the movie they only casually mention Mew in conversation once and what they say about Ditto is that she was one of Howard's experiments.
Not really. The same trappings are there in the film that are in the games, but neither have made any definitive statements.
I love how self aware this channel has become and how straightforward Lockstin is about it. "This video is complete BS"
Or in some of the videos just before SwSh: "This video is basically just filler and we have no idea why we decided to do this, but HEY, YOU'RE WATCHING IT SO WE'LL KEEP DOING IT!"
15:14
So you’re saying it’s a khangas - *tan* ?
I’m a genius, you all have no appreciation of wordplay.
Janmesh Srivastava praise the Almighty one
Omg I lost it when he said, " I'm stupid" that was the most honesty you ever see in people 😆😆😆.
8:00 Ah, yes! Remember back in Gen 1 when Gloom evolved into Parasect? Good times
19:02 Damn, I wasn’t ready for that
Edit: This timestamp is extremely spammable, click it repeatedly for funnies
MUST HAVE SPARKLES!!!
If i remember correctly, Shiny Gyarados is red because the free one in G/S/C/HG/SS is a Magikarp that evolved early due to the Lake of Rage.
Hence it kept the red coloration.
Red is also the default sprite color for pokemon in GSC in the menus. Put that sprite in the world: Red Gyarados
Really impressed how smoothly you managed to ignore that Cloyster is just a blue waffle.
Shiny Chansey could reference Pokémon eggs who are white with green spots
I actually love Espeons shiny, it looks like an alien.
Lockstin, please!!! for the last time marine reptiles and flying reptiles *are not dinosaurs* is important that people know this!
Also Lycanroc was made to look like the color of the sky! Midday is a light blue and Midnight is a deep dark blue! am I crazy for thinking this?
Green Shinies can look great in certain cases!
But then you have 90% of other green Shinies that just look... eugh, and it makes me sad.
I mean, Shiny Espeon is a green alien thing! That’s great! And Kabuto being green fits, too!
Shiny scyther is good
I had a PINK Rhyhorn in Gold or Silver, can't remember which, and always thought it was a reference to the anime :P
It was explained in the anime episode that gyrasdos turned red due to it being a forces evolution of normal non shiny magicarp hence the same red.
No one:
Not a single person:
Lockstin: 1:54
Super Effective
Great video as usual, though there needs to be one for the shiny mega forms too, a significant omission being the much cooler shiny Mega Gengar.
But the shiny Mega Evolution forms were intentionally designed, since that didn't exist before gen 6 when everything switched to 3D models.
DetectiveBarricade that is true but the same can be said for the Alolan forms also mentioned in this video.
Most Megas don’t drastically change colour except for a few and when they do it’s intentional like Charizard or Gengar.
I don’t think there’s enough content on Kanto Megas to do a whole video on too. Unless there’s gonna be a round up of all Megas in a future video.
"Silver Foxes are a thing."
Me: UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
My first playthrough of gold and silver I did not encounter one shiny Pokemon outside of the Red Gyarados.
I didn't know Shinies were a thing until years later 😂
I Thought Farfetch’d Was Cute in It’s Nonshiny Form,But Now That I’ve Seen It’s Shiny Form,I Deem it Super Cute
