The first in the Squisherz catalog, 0023 is kind of odd in that he's numbered but not as the dex entry he's under. Still, very slimy, very computer-y, and very squishy.

Pokemon: Shiny vs. Default, 0023-0024

Okay, we’re finally out of the early route things (mostly) and onto one of Gen I’s many, many Poison types. I wish this line was better, but Arbok’s movepool isn’t kind to it, with no STAB that runs off its superior Attack stat besides the abysmal Poison Sting, and the inaccurate Gunk Shot at Lv.63. Yeah for some reason this Poison-type snake learns neither Poison Fang or Poison Tail by level, and has to get them via breeding.

Also it really should’ve gotten the Dark type in Gen II, to give Kanto some native Dark types and give it STAB on those Dark moves it learns.

Anyway, griping about how underwhelming this Pokemon is, let’s talk shinies. First on the docket is Ekans.

Aaaaand it’s green. I guess it’s not an awful shade for a snake, but still, very boring. Default wins.

Arbok’s turn.

Thankfully, Arbok trades in the green for a much more pleasing gold. It looks really good, but Arbok’s purple scales also look really good. So I’m going to call this one a draw!

Default: 26

Shiny: 8

Draw: 2
