Oddish is a fan favorite, and its shiny form is truly unique. While regular Oddish sports a blue body with green leaves, the shiny version takes on a lovely green hue, making it an eye-catching addition to any Trainer’s collection.

Additionally, Oddish evolves into Vileplume or Bellossom, both of which have distinct shiny colorations. Given Oddish’s availability as a common spawn, this is a great opportunity to catch multiple shiny Oddish and potentially complete the evolutionary line.

Shiny Pumpkaboo’s purple and orange color scheme embodies the Halloween spirit, and it’s perfect for the fall season. This shiny is also quite rare outside of specific events, so the Harvest Festival offers a unique chance to stock up on all four shiny sizes.
