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.
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.)
Not so bad - the shinies are all redder than normal. Check the chest on Fletchling and Fletchinder; it has a bluish gray tint normally, but is orange-yellow on the shiny. Shiny Talonflame has way lower contrast with the normally black bits being red.
Obviously the shiny is way redder, but it might be harder to tell depending on the lighting conditions. Look out for the lower saturation/contrast, particulary compared to the gem on Vespiquen's head, but Combee is probably harder.
Should be reasonably easy to identify Fidough because most of the body is darker than the yellow bits on the shiny, while on the normal one it's quite pale. Dachsbun is trickier, but is yet another one where the shiny is low-contrast.
Shiny Slakoth at least has the grace to be purple. Vigoroth is a lot yellower, and once again has a lower contrast, with the red bits orange. Slaking is probably also most easily identified by the low contrast - specifically the lack of one between the head fuzz and the belly.
While shiny Smoliv's black olive (cute!) is easy to tell from the regular color, the thing about Smoliv is that it's very small, which makes the single olive on its head not exactly prominent in your field of vision in the game.
The Applin line are mostly very easily identifiable if you don't have red-green colorblindness, but the apple isn't quite as prominent in Appletun's design in particular, so most of its body ends up being the same color as usual.
Salandit's color change is extremely obvious when you put them side by side, being pretty much literally black and white, but if your memory has rounded off Salandit's body as being gray (not unreasonable), then the shiny doesn't quite obviously stand out in-game in dim cave lighting where it just looks sort of light gray.
Among all the shinies of yellow Pokmon that are just a bit orange, Cufant and Copperajah are actually supposed to be orange but become yellow when shiny. The normal ones really are pretty distinctly orange, so if it's looking kind of yellowish, probably shiny.
Arrokuda and Barraskewda aren't actually all that similar when shiny, with their distinctly blue coloring... but the problem is they're found underwater, where everything will have a bit of a blue tint and distortion.
