Pokemon GO Fan Redesigns Cloyster's Shiny Look

gamerant.com:

Shiny Pokemon are some of the rarest Pokemon in the Pokemon franchise and many fans enjoy designing their own versions of shiny Pokemon. Now a fan of Pokemon GO has taken it upon themselves to design a new shiny for the Water and Ice-type Pokemon Cloyster.

Shiny Pokemon were first introduced in the second generation titles Pokemon Gold and Silver. They are a rare phenomenon in which wild Pokemon that the player encountered have a 1 in 8192 chance of appearing as a different color palette than their normal form, though the odds of encountering a shiny Pokemon have increased in later games. Though shiny Pokemon are no longer as rare as they once were, fans continue to enjoy their presence in modern Pokemon titles.

An artist on Reddit who goes by the username Jadeeyedcalico, a fan of the mobile game Pokemon GO, has designed a new shiny appearance for the 91st Pokemon, Cloyster. Cloyster's original shiny palette changed its outer shell from a pale purple to a pale blue, but Jadeeyedcalico designed Cloyster's new shiny to change Cloyster's inner and outer shell to a gold-bronze color palette.

While this is the most recent shiny form change from Jadeeyedcalico, they have also redesigned the shiny for the Dragon and Ground-type Pokemon from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Garchomp. Jadeeyedcalico has confirmed that there will be more shiny form edits in the future for many Pokemon.

One thing many fans don't enjoy about certain shiny Pokemon is how little they change in appearance with prime examples being Gengar and the previously mentioned Garchomp. This was true with Cloyster's shiny form to a lesser degree as simply its outer shell
