Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players have pointed out the uninspiring Gholdengo Shiny’s one “silver lining.”
The difference between the two is so negligible that many Scarlet and Violet players are having difficulty telling them apart.
Beneath aRedditpost sharing side-by-side screenshots ofGholdengoand Shiny Gholdengo, one person joked, “It’s like night and… later that night.”
Meanwhile, another user asked, “ITS ACTUALLY DIFFERENT??”
And a few other people chimed in to say the images made them feel better about not spending time trying to grind for the Shiny iteration.
What separates Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Shiny Gholdengo from its normal counterpart is the silver accents in place of the gold embellishments. The changes seem especially noticeable when looking closer at the lines running through the creature’s eyes and torso.
So, while the upgraded design leaves much to be desired, several people in the Reddit comments noted that there is a “silver lining.”
In response to one silver lining quip, another user pondered, “Wait… did they choose this [design] just for the pun?”
To be fair,Gholdengo’s original form, Gimmighoul, has a similarly lackluster Shiny variant with the subtlest of design changes. The Shiny appears to boast somewhat of a slightly paler hue than the standard Gimmighoul players can find while exploring the Paldea locale.
