theQUOTE is someone elses comment i found somewhere, and i totally agree, i crafted a secret rare arceus vstar, only for to be unusable since i need to run 3 of the card in my deck, but cuz of the system i can run like 1 secret rare and 2 normal... it says i have to either have 3 of the same secret rare or otherwise the normal version will just overwrite it.
You can run different amount of various arts for a card in a deck, the deck manager just does a poor job of displaying it since it will only show you one art of the card to represent them all. If you add one gold arceus and 2 normal and go to play, you'll find in-game you do in fact have one gold and 2 normal.
Pokmon Blaze Black and Pokmon Volt White are edits of the regular Pokmon Black and White versions which self-contain all 649 Pokmon, allowing a player a large amount of variety. In addition, BB/VW also have edited trainers, an increased difficulty level, improvements to many Pokmon and more. They are the spiritual successor of my two other hacks, Pokmon Fire Red Omega and Pokmon Spirit Gold. Blaze Black and Volt White were also - with one minor exception - the first of their kind to be made.
I should mention that with the exception of things normally different between Black and White such as Black City, White Forest, the legendary focus and the appearance of Opelucid City, the two games are identical.
I've been playing this game with my partner for 60 hours, after work every day for two weeks we would play it together, until the file magically vanished from my computer. Never has a file ever done anything like this. It's buggy asf and poorly quality-tested. Don't even bother. Completely heartbroken.
Sooo, I got a bit of an odd case. I know that trading unseen legendaries costs 1M. I know that shiny versions count as different forms that need to be registered, otherwise it is still 1M even if you have the original Pokemon. I know when trading only caught matters, not seen.
So here is my case: Me and my gf both got a Lugia last weekend, mine was shiny and she got a normal one. I do not have a normal Lugia, I only have my shiny one. That means I only have shiny Lugia registered in my Pokedex, right?
I tested trading with my gf and I can trade for her Lugia (not my shiny) for only 20k.
Does that mean catching a shiny automatically registers the normal version too? Because usually shinies are counted as different Versions that cost extra if one of the two traders doesnt have them registered.
Thanks, thats good to know. Not that it will be a frequent occurence, but it might find its use with some legendaries like in this Lugia. Mean that shiny registers normal form, but normal doesnt register shiny. That would make trading much cheaper. (But would probably take away from the shiny value)
- Shiny counts for non-shiny.
- Hat or sunglasses counts for regular. (But does not count for other hats.)
-- One that is shiny and another with a hat counts for one that is shiny with the same hat.
- Alola form counts for Kanto form.
-- Shiny Kanto form and regular Alola form counts for shiny Alola form.
- Fire, water, or ice Castform counts for normal Castform.
I think that Unown letters and Spinda patterns do not have a "base form" and always count as separate forms for each letter or pattern. If there is a "base form", I'd expect it to be Unown F (the default image for Unown when scrolling through the Pokedex) and the yet to be released Spinda #1.
Seems pretty likely that F is the base form because glitched Unown appear to be Fs pretty much every time. There were a lot of glitched Unowns at Dortmund and every single one that I heard of appeared as F.

Pokmon Scarlet and Violet feature an overworld full of Pokmon that you can battle right there instead of transitioning to a separate battle screen - but one interesting consequence of this is that shiny Pokmon, the rare alternate-colored versions, may pass by the player unnoticed. While they visibly have different colors, there's no sound or visual cue to draw your attention to the shiny Pokmon.
At least for me, this gave me a certain paranoia. I constantly wondered if a Pokmon in slightly unusual lighting conditions might be a shiny, and worried I might not be able to spot a shiny in the wild. This page is a helpful tool for me, and possibly others, to mitigate this sort of paranoia.
Below, you will see a list and images of every subtle shiny found in the wild in Scarlet and Violet - that is, all the shinies you might need to worry about spotting. All other shinies not listed should stand out fairly obviously as not the right color, assuming you're aware what the Pokmon normally looks like. This is obviously a somewhat subjective judgement, made mostly based on looking at images of them out of context; if you've found a shiny not listed here difficult to spot in the actual game, by all means contact me and I can add it.
I've tried to note what distinguishes each shiny, but if all else fails, the easiest way to make sure is to send out a Pokmon in Let's Go mode - if it's a shiny, your Pokmon will never fight it in Let's Go mode, so if your Pokmon is conspicuously avoiding it, snag it up quick.
Note that this list only includes Pokmon that can be encountered shiny in the wild - Gholdengo is an incredibly obnoxious shiny and all, but luckily you'll never have to try to tell a shiny one from a normal one in-game.
I handpicked the ones from the full list that struck me as the most difficult, since memorizing the full list of shinies you could overlook would be an impossible feat. These are generally distinguished only or almost only by a minor hue/luminosity shift that could easily be caused by lighting conditions in the game or general variations in texture coloring between the game models and other depictions, or by a change in some small part of the Pokmon that you might not easily see. For these, if you showed me just the shiny without the normal one beside them, even without weird lighting conditions, I would probably not be able to tell you it's the shiny and not the normal one, or at least not without squinting.
Shiny Chansey is easy to identify thanks to the green bits, but the others are just a slightly different, paler shade of pink. For Happiny it's probably easiest to look out for the slightly brighter, purpler pink (but lighting conditions could change that anyway), while for Blissey the low contrast between the white and pale pink is the best we can do.
Petilil is mostly just paler, but also note normal Petilil's eyes are red, while the shiny's are blue. Lilligant looks fairly distinct there in the Home sprite, but I have actually seen a friend's shiny Lilligant in-game and it's quite hard to tell - the best tell is the leaves on the shiny are blueish while the body is yellowish, while on regular Lilligant they're both a more central sort of green.
Gible is so polite but then Gabite is worse and Garchomp is just obnoxious. For Gabite, remember it's not supposed to be very bright blue or high-contrast (note that the Home sprite makes it look very bright blue but it's less so in the actual game), and in particular, the bands on the head-pieces and the bottom of the belly are not normally blue at all. For Garchomp, all you can do is try to squint at whether there's any hint of blue there. Just gray? Belly more orange than red? Then it's shiny.
While Floette and Florges are more obvious, to identify a shiny Flabb you need to look carefully at its tiny actual body instead of the flower and notice that the eyes are blue and the bottom half is bluish.
Regular Paldean Tauros (all three forms) has a slightly darker mane around its neck than the rest of its fur; the shiny instead has a darker coat and a slightly lighter mane. It's very hard to tell them apart without knowing exactly what you're looking for.
The shinies have a greenish tint to parts of them while the regular ones are a pretty monochrome blue. Note Frosmoth having green eyes with yellow spots when shiny, compared to the regular blue with slightly greenish spots.
If you'd shown me these two sprites and asked me to guess which was the regular one and which was the shiny, I would have guessed wrong. There's just the subtle hue difference of the normal one having more yellowish fur while the shiny is slightly purplish, plus the shiny's icicles being a little darker and the claws/pawpads being dark purple rather than gray.
Unlike Glalie, Froslass has exactly the same eye color when shiny and is just a subtle hue shift, most noticeably towards a more pinkish sash over the more orangeish red of the normal one. Noticing the closer hue to the purple skin might be the way to go.
Tatsugiri's three forms all look like slightly different kinds of sushi when shiny. The one you can really confuse is the shiny Stretchy form for the normal Curly form - the shiny Stretchy has thin yellow stripes along its back while the normal Curly has a solid orange blotch.
Poliwrath is conveniently green, but its pre-evolutions are just a slightly lighter blue, especially Poliwag. For Poliwhirl you might be able to notice the low contrast with the white but I don't know how you'd ever pick out Poliwag unless another one is standing right beside it.
I can barely see the difference between these two even when looking at them side by side - the difference is the shiny has a green tint on the dark parts rather than a brownish red one, and on Sinistcha, the rim of the cup is lighter on the shiny where the regular is dark brown.
It is literally impossible to tell if a Minior is shiny outside of battle, because only the core looks different! This is the obnoxious shiny to end all obnoxious shinies. (All shiny Minior cores look the same, even though technically they're also classified as having different-colored cores; the shiny core is very obviously different from all the non-shiny colors, being nearly black.)
