How much shiny we get and how much of this shiny is useful?
If I'm good counting on it, in PoGO we have 25 shiny pokemon and 12 shiny families. But, how much of this shiny is really useful in battles?
Let's see:
Magikarp and Gyarados- Generalist and water type specialist
Pichu, Pikachu and Richu- useless
Sableye- useless
Duskull and Dusclops- useless, but have gen 4 evo
Shuppet and Banette- Ghost type glass cannon with ,,legendary'' Shadow Claw/ Shadow Ball moveset and without second poison type
Mawile- useless
Absol- dark type glass cannon
Snorunt and Glalie- useless but snorunt have second evo form in gen 4
Luvdisc- useless
Swablu and Altaria- useless
Poochyena and Mightyena- useless
Aron, Lairon and Aggron- steel type tank
Dratini, Dragonair and Dragonite- one of best generalist in game
So, only Gyarados, Absol, Aggron, Banette and Dragonite families are good. That is only 11 useful shinies... I hope next release shiny mon will be strong.
