Which Pokemon's Shiny Form do you NOT like?

If mods feel like this is too stupid, then they can go ahead and close this.

As we know, every blue moon, we come across a Pokemon in its alternate color, dubbed its "shiny form." The different color does not affect the Pokemon's stats in any way, but it's still a novelty of sorts, and I'm sure many of you have went out of your way to chain link/soft reset to get the Shiny Pokemon.

My question is this: are there any Pokemon that you think look better in its original form than in their shiny form? This is simply a color preference, but I'm curious about what you think.

As for me, I do not like Ho-oh's shiny form. Compared to its original color, it just looks bland. To me, it's missing something. I also don't like Chansey's shiny form. I think it would look better in blue, but in green....eh, not so much.

So, which Pokemon do you like the original colors of than its shiny form?

Honchkrow, I have no idea why Game Freak felt compelled to make his shiny form Neon Pink.
 
I don't like the shinies where you can barely tell there's a color difference, like when I found a shiny Burmy it was kinda disappointing.

Some of the shiny forms I don't like are
Garchomp - Can't hardly tell the difference
Scyther - Same reason as above
Honchkrow - Pink? No... Just, no

I know. I'm hot.
The worst is Garchomp. This guy sent out a shiny Garchomp and I didn't notice the sparkles and he started saying,"Oh, you wish you had a shiny Garchomp don't you?" I said,"It's not shiny..." then he showed me it after. Like no difference! And Honch... in pink..... UGH! *shivers*
 

THUNDER!!!

&lt;So Many Stickers!
The three i don't like are thes.
1.Honchcrow:pINK?? I like it's normal form (one of my favs) but not it's shiny.
2.Hitmonchan:I don't know...i just don't like it.
3.Swinub:Swinub does NOT seem like it should be silver.


And thats all!
