Top 10 green Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO

Among shiny collectors, green Shiny Pokemon are some of the worst that Pokemon GO has to offer. Typically replacing a vibrant color with just a static shade of green rarely improves a monster's design, usually leaving them remarkably worse in the eyes of a majority of fans.

However, there are some Shiny Pokemon that can pull off the green color for a variety of reasons. These are some of the rare occasions where going out of one's way to find a green shiny in Pokemon GO is actually worth the effort. Here are the 10 best green Shiny Pokemon players can find in Pokemon GO.

Top 10 best green Shiny Pokemon available in Pokemon GO

10) Hydreigon

Shiny Hydreigon manages to pull the green off relatively well, with green and black carrying the energy of a radioactive monster. The purple also contrasts with the green, allowing it to stand out. Whether or not this is positive or negative is subjective, but it remains one of the few solid green shinies of Pokemon GO.

9) Totodile

Taking a more mellow sea-green approach, Shiny Totodile's green base coloring is complimented heavily by various light accents. From the dark blue spines to the off-white collar, no part of Shiny Totodile is anything less than average. This easily makes it the best shiny variant of the Johto starters.

8) Weezing

Shiny Weezing would be a very easy design to be cheap with. However, some players will be glad to learn that every part of Weezing's design changes with its shiny variant, even its iconic smoke cloud. The green body with the complimentary accents of magenta gas and white markings makes for an overall appealing design.

7) Marill

With a design as lovable as Marill, it's hard to hate it. With its new color pallet, Marill looks more like a wasabi pea than an aquatic mouse. Marill's red inner ears also complement the green body, giving it a nice color contrast as well. Overall, a very solid Shiny Pokemon that players can find in Pokemon GO.

6) Scizor

Shiny Scizor has become somewhat endearing after many years of being one of the most awkward-looking shinies (Image via The Pokemon Company)

Though it used to be one of the first many fans thought of when it came to ugly green Shiny Pokemon, Shiny Scizor has become somewhat famous for its awkward, puke-green color scheme. However, this variant makes it look a lot like its pre-evolved form, Scyther.

5) Trapinch

Trapinch's base design is a good example of "less is more". The same is true for its shiny variant. Rather than focusing on changing specific things about the creature, the simple approach of "turn the whole thing a different color" makes for much better and memorable Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO.

4) Latios

Latios and its Mega Evolution are both remarkably green but feature different shades. The base form is more of a sea green, while its Mega Evolution is more of a citrus-y green. With its Mega Evolution being accessible in Pokemon GO, players get two very green Legendaries in one.

3) Chesnaught

Chesnaught's darker color pallet gives it a more seasonal tone (Image via The Pokemon Company)

Shiny Chesnaught's combination of dark green, cream, and burgundy harmonizes with the slight orange accents around the rims of its plating to carry a feeling of the autumn season. A great shade of green to go with the many other colors that populate Chesnaught's shiny form.

2) Dialga

Dialga's simple change in shade makes the Legendary appear a bit more futuristic (Image via The Pokemon Company)

Dialga's shift from deep blue to a darker and lighter shade of green gives it feel a bit more metallic, which makes sense considering its secondary Steel typing. With the lighter green accents, it gives off the illusion of a green fluid pumping through the crevasses of a futuristic robot.

1) Noibat

Shiny Noibat's black, brown, and green color scheme makes the creature feel a bit grungier, which fits with its evolutionary line (Image via The Pokemon Company)

Noibat's shiny variant easily makes the best use of the color green, with the incorporation of proper accent colors. The greenish-teal of its body pairs well with the deep browns of its fur and the black coloration of its markings. These darker colors then pair well with the bright, piercing yellow of its eyes, making for an all-around appealing shiny form.
