    In your opinion, what are the worst shinies?

    I'd have to go for Dewgong and Garchomp...the differences between them are so minor that getting them is kinda disappointing. (At least Garchomp's mega evo becomes a new color, though)

    Probably Pikachu. It just goes from yellow to a slightly darker shade of yellow bordering on orange. Lame. I also don't like shiny Walrein, not because the differenc is small, just because I like Walrein and I don't think just turning it pink suits it or looks good.

    In my opinion, pretty much any Pokémon that has that nasty yellow color. Like... Yellow is a nice color but not the one they chose. It's like...green yellow... gross yellow. Baby puke yellow. I don't know. But the Pokémon that have it are; Scizor, Mismagius, Doduo, Vulpix...I could go on..

    I don't know a whole lot of the shinies, but I do know Gengar is pretty disappointing. Funny how I complain about its shiny, yet its one of my favorite Pokémon...

    Its Mega Evolution, on the other hand...

    Octillery is like that too, just got one a few days ago in Y. It's the color of stale piss, like the kind of piss you have when you wake up after sleeping for 12 hours after a night of heavy drinking. Not that nice.

    I completely agree about the yellow thing. I hate the yellow shinies for the most part, because they just don't look as good. I think the Growlithe line is yellow? Which was always really disappointing for me. I'd expect this majestic golden color and maybe WHITE mane, not a sick yellow that doesn't even blend well with the mane.

    Things like Garchomp and Pikachu where the difference is hardly noticeable aren't very good shinies...

    I agree with the yellow issue as well. Why they chose that shade of yellow, I don't know, but it's not very pleasing to look at.

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Zapdos or Articuno. I didn't even know that my Zapdos was shiny aside from the little star that shows in the summery and Articuno was just a bit lighter than the original. Not very impressive...especially for legendary Pokémon.

    Shiny Chinchou is pretty bad. I literally can't tell the difference. At least I can can sorta tell with Garchomp and Pikachu. I mean its not too hard to tell in past games but in X/Y Shiny Chinchou just looks like a normal Chinchou to me.

    Seel & Dewgong are the winner for me in this contest, with Garchomp as a runner-up. Other bad shiny designs are Rapidash (compared to Ponyta it's really disappointing), Pikachu-family (minor changes in color, barely visible), Chinchou (looks really ugly, like a bad fan-made recolor), Igglybuff (it was always a minor change, except in GEN3, where it was modified to look different - and to be honest, that was the only time when Igglybuff looked cool), Togepi (suffers from the same disease as the Seel family), Blissey (unlike Chansey, which looks really pretty in shiny, it's just almost the same, but lighter a bit), Leafeon (same as Blissey), Darkrai (one of the cases when the shiny is much more uglier than the original), Jolteon (same as Darkrai), and Alakazam (same).

    After getting one today, I have to say that shiny Shedinja is the worst. Despite having the red star and its own "shiny form" page in the Pokédex, there is no difference I could see, and I looked long and hard for one.

    I hate shinies that turned the normals super ugly :( Shinies should actually make the Pokémon look better, not worse xD One I really am disappointed with is Dragonite (probably only just me who thinks that but I really hate how dragonair went from pink to a ugly green dragonite) >.<

    What about Shiny Glaceon? At first glance, I didn't even know it was Shiny...

    From an awesome Metallic red to Snot green.

    Shiny Beartic and Farfetch'd are pretty bad. I found a shiny Farfetch'd today and I wasn't too pleased with it.

    The only shiny I've ever caught was a Phanpy in the Pokémon Safari in Ruby.

    As a young kid playing Pokémon, I barely noticed a difference. And to be honest, I wouldn't have now either. I was pretty disappointed.

    All the lime green and yellow ones. Ick.

    Abra and Kadabra I could barely tell the difference, though. Shiny Alakazam and its Mega Evolution is a different case.

    I agree with most of what's been said here already, but one that always particularly bothered me was Butterfree. I always wished it was the color of the bubblegum pink Butterfree with the blue accents that Ash's Butterfree fell in love with, but it's just the same purple with pink accents instead of blue with awful lime green eyes...

    This. This was disappointing, and more so realizing how long the superior design sat infront of them. >.< It was season 1! Way before shiny Pokémon existed
