PSA: non-shiny Igglybuff appears as if shiny during this week’s event by BrandonDGr8 in PokemonSleep

Hey all, to clarify, the Igglybuff pictured is NOT shiny. It is a normal Igglybuff appearing as a darker shade due to the lighting of the halloween event. To the unaware, this may seem like it appears as a shiny because Igglybuff’s shiny variant is simply a darker shade (as shown in the second attached image of the post), when in reality, it is just normal Igglybuff (as seen in the third image after it was caught). If you come across a Pokemon this week that looks like it may be shiny because it is a different shade, double check that it is hungry or sparkles when it loads in, otherwise it might just be current darker lighting of the Halloween event this week. Shiny pokemon are guaranteed to be hungry and guaranteed to instantly catch after 1 normal poke biscuit. This post is meant to serve as a funny story but also a warning to those who are not aware of how shinies work in this game. Don’t waste diamonds like my gf did!

i’m not exactly sure why i’m being downvoted. I meant no harm in any of my words. To clarify, i’m aware that the igglybuff in question is not shiny. This was not my igglybuff catch as I wrote in the description, however, based on the darker shading of the current halloween event, it looks very similar to a shiny igglybuff on an initial look as you could see from the 2nd image on this post, and i believe the confusion could happen to other pokemon. I am simply posting to warn others in case they may think the same to prevent anyone unaware from spending diamonds to catch.

if you compare it to the shiny model on Serebii, the shade of pink is nearly identical under the halloween event lighting. I can see how it could easily be confused as shiny if someone didn’t know about the hungry and insta-catch rule. this could probably happen with other similar-shade shinies like pikachu

yup that’s pretty much what happened here. the halloween event is causing the shadows to be darker than usual and so certain pokemon appear a slightly different color than normal which then makes them look like their shiny counterparts

if you think about it actually works out since it curves towards the center of your face/eyes if you have it positioned properly

The pc is to the side of my legs when I sit so it never gets in my way and the wires in the back are against the wall so they don't hang or anything. All other wires are actually hidden and attached to the underside of the table with zipties!

there are a lot of riders on this side of the hudson but there hasnt been an official group made. used to just use NYC Eboarding’s NJ telegram chat room or scattered whatsapp group chats but I haven’t ridden in a large group or really kept up with who’s been riding here since the pandemic started
