Let's Talk Pokemon #2

Best Teal Mask Shinies

With the introduction of the Teal Mask DLC for Scarlet & Violet, the DLC brought back a little under 100 Pokemon to the game that were previously left out of the Paldean Pokedex/ScVt main game. Including the 8 new Pokemon introduced, I'm going over the best Shinies you can obtain exclusively in the Teal Mask DLC. I will not be mentioning any Pokemon available in the main game as a little more than half of the Kitakami Pokedex, about 120 Pokemon, feature Pokemon already accessible in the main game.

1. Bloodmoon Ursaluna

Bloodmoon Ursaluna is just a really unique Pokemon and an immediate favorite of mine. It was definitely the highlight of the DLC for me. Bloodmoon Ursaluna is the Mordu of the Pokemon world as its a really beaten up Ursaluna who wears mud all over its body like armor and it utilizes moves exclusive to Bloodmoon Ursaluna in its attacks. Although Ursaluna's shiny is Red, Bloodmoon Ursaluna turns orange when shiny. If you ask me, Bloodmoon Ursaluna should've retained Ursaluna's Red shiny coloration as it would've really doubled down on the bloodmoon gimmick, but I won't deny that orange looks REALLY good on it either. Unfortunately, Bloodmoon Ursaluna is shiny locked. Still really like it though!

2. Chandelure

As you guys might already know, Chandelure and it's shiny are some of my all time favorite Pokemon. Chandelure is almost always featured on everyone's top Shiny lists and it's rightfully deserved. Chandelure swaps out its periwinkle flames for orange and blue body for green. Orange and Green go surprisingly well together is what ive found out. Come the Teal Mask DLC, the Litwick line was brought back into the series after being left out of the Main game and it's shiny is still as phenomenal as ever. For those looking to obtain a member of the Litwick family, search on the Oni Mountain where there's a Tera level 78 Lampent or Litwick spawn at night in the Timeless Woods.
