★Custom shinies★
These are shiny Tomy repaints of my ingame shinies painted by me. Some figures are not real Tomys (either the real figure is too rare to use in this kind of project or there isn't a real Tomy figure of the pokemon to begin with.), but most of them are. I'll give a notice beside those, which are candy figures or booties.
There's also a couple custom shiny plushes at the end of this page.

Kanto starter(s)
My first soft reseted shiny, Borko. Of course he's a Blastoise these days, but Squirtle is just so much cuter.
Caterpie line
Caterpie ♀ ~ Cathy
Metapod ♂ ~ Metin
Butterfree ♀ ~ Belle
This has to be my hardest chained shiny line to the date. My chains just kept breaking without getting past 20. I still hate Bidoof for breaking the one chain, which got to 38. After a long pause, I tried again, and this time I managed to catch them.

Pikachu line
Pichu ♂ ~ Eral
Pikachu ♂ ~ Philo
Raichu ♂ ~ Sharios
Yeah, they are painted, even if they look almost exactly like normally, especially Pichu and Pikachu. In my opinion Gamefreak should have come up with more interesting shiny versions for such an important evolution line.

Vulpix line
Vulpix ♂ ~ Gold
Ninetales ♀ ~ Silver
I know, these names are SO creative...
I loooove shiny Ninetales. It's so beautiful and elegant, even more so than normally. And golden Vulpix is cute too, although I don't prefer it as much over it's normal counterpart as the evolved fox.

Zubat line
Zubat ♀ ~ Zula
Golbat ♂ ~ Nightwing
Crobat ♂ ~ Otieno
These bat Tomys are quite rare, so I used bootlegs instead.

Bellsprout line
Bellsprout ♂ ~ Bellii
Weepinbell ♀ ~ Rowanne
Victreebel♀ ~ Nepentha
Bellsprout is still my only random shiny encounter. Some months later I chained Weepinbell and completed the line. Their nicknames come from latin names of plants they are based on.

Ponyta line
Ponyta ♂ ~ Brenton
Rapidash ♀ ~ Raelene
I just love shiny Ponyta. It's such a shame that Rapidash's flame isn't blue as well.

Doduo line
Doduo ♀ ~ Dodie
Dodrio ♀ ~ Hirune
I have not much to say about these two. I had inspiration to radar-hunt, and they were swarming = very easy target.

Cubone line
Cubone ♀ ~ Channary
Marowak ♀ ~ (Doesn't have a nickname)
Marowak is one of those, which I transferred to Black and forgot, that it wasn't named yet.
I have always liked Cubone. It's so tragic Pokemon. I'm not that fond of it's shiny colors, but at least it does have a noticeable difference.

Gyarados
The Lake of Rage Gyarados everyone has. I don't have a nickname for it and don't even remember, which gender mine was. There's also an official red Gyarados Tomy, but this is just a repaint.
Eeveelutions
Eevee ♀ ~ Eva
Vaporeon ♂ ~ Vendan
Jolteon ♂ ~ Jolyon
Flareon ♀ ~ Floella
Espeon ♂ ~ Eodue
Umbreon ♀ ~ Undine
Glaceon ♂ ~ Glaw
Leon the Leafeon will join them as soon as I can find one.
I doubt any chain ever could give me the same excited feeling than the Eevee chain in 2008. I'm still proud of this pack, even if they are just chained shinies.

Mewtwo
I named him Yaiba after a character in my favorite manga, Spiral. Hizumi might suit him better, but they have so different personalities that I just had to go with Yaiba. Catching him with a Friend Ball was quite a challenge, but I managed to do it at the last minute, before he started struggling. I love to catch my shiny with a matching ball if possible.
Johto starters
Chikorita ♀ ~ Eirian (My only female starter)
Meganium ♂ ~ Florus
Cyndaquil ♂ ~ Tsuna
Typhlosion ♂ ~ Akaya
Totodile ♂ ~ (Doesn't have a nickname)
I got pretty crazy with Johto starters, because it was just so easy to reset them. In HeartGold and SoulSilver you can see, if any of the starters is shiny before you pick yours. I got lucky and got all three without duplicates. But I WANTED a couple duplicates! Johto has my favorite set of starters and I wanted to be able to keep some of them in their lower stages and also wanted to use some nice OT names, so I SRed a couple more.

Politoed
My rainmaker, Trevor, named after Neville's pet toad in Harry Potter. He has the Dream World ability Drizzle.
This is actually a bootie Politoed. It is very well made though and I would not be able to tell what it is, if I wouldn't know that the real Tomy Politoed has its "hair" upright, when the bootie has it horizontally.

Hoppip line
Hoppip ♀ ~ Tara
Skiploom ♀ ~ Anemone
Jumpluff ♂ ~ Hani
Yeah, Jumpluff is so manly. But the only male I caught had the best nature&stats combination, so I didn't have much of a choice.
I really like this line's shiny colors. They are all very nice and bright. Hoppip is like a raw cherry.

Shuckle
I named him Sven, because his colors remind me of the flag of Sweden.
In a way this is probably my rarest shiny; It was caught on route 14 of Black during a Yanma swarm. Shuckle has only 5% appearance rate in normal conditions.

Hoenn starters
Mudkip ♂ ~ Delano
Treecko ♂ ~ Drake
I evolved them long ago, but their first stages were cuter and easier to repaint so I used these figures.

Wurmple line
Wurmple ♂ ~ Wynne
Silcoon ♀ ~ Dolly
Beautifly ♂ ~ Beathan
Cascoon ♂ ~ Lloyd
Dustox ♀ ~ Dusty
Only Beautifly has an official Tomy figure, so I have to think something else for the others. Wurmple got an European candy figure, the cocoons will probably be Kids. No idea, what I should use for Dustox.

Gallade ♂ ~ Galahad
They are blue, which makes them instant fav!

Skitty ♀ ~ Felina
Delcatty ♀ ~ Delicia
Delcatty ♀ ~ Delicia
Absol
This is Abby, my red Absol. I really like Absol, it's my favorite Dark type, after Umbreon of course. It would be so cool, if the shiny would have black fur instead of white, but I also like this red version.
The Bagon line
Bagon ♂ ~ Doeth
Shelgon ♂ ~ Verith
Salamence ♂ ~ Uineath
I wanted them to have dragon-like names. Not sure, if it worked.
And again, no real Tomys for first two stages.

The Regi trio
Regirock ~ Lapis
Regice ~ Glacie
Registeel ~ Ferrum
I never cared much about Regis. They were hard to get and when I finally could catch them, my team was already full and trained, so I never used them. And then they were the first shiny legendary trio I completed.

Latias and Latios
Latias ~ Mizar
Latios ~ Alcor
Their names come from a binary star system and their game counterparts are from the HGSS Enigma stone event. I love Latias and Latios shiny forms! I actually liked Latios much more, before actually seeing shiny Latias on screen. The golden yellow/orange was more beautiful than I had thought! Latias and Latios are also two of my favorite legendaries. I would love to collect them both, but don't have room or money for more collections.

The Weather Trio
Groudon ~ Terra
Rayquaza ~ Etamin
Kyogre ~ Deneb
I really don't want to paint another Rayquaza ever again! But it still is an awesome shiny. Nothing against Groudon or Kyogre either, but I actually prefer their normal colors. Groudon was caught on Valentine's Day and Rayquaza on my birthday.

Pachirisu
A male Pachirisu called Nanjirou. He is such a manly pink squirrel!
The name comes from an old rpg/off-game-fun me and my two close friends had many years ago. It's also my oldest shiny and the first I actually hunted for, caught with PokeRadar in 2007

Drifblim
Drogo is a perfect name for this balloon, since it's possibly derived from a Germanic word for "to carry"
or "ghost", and both suit Drifblim well. This one appeared, when I was hunting for Yanma in Black. I was truly scared that I might lose it, because none of my pokemon had weak enough attacks to battle the ghost. So my only hope was to catch it at full health. I was super lucky, since I got a critical capture with my first Quick Ball.
I don't know why, but I just can't get my yellow shinies to look good. There's probably something wrong with the yellow paint I use.

Glameow line
Glameow ♀ ~ Felicia
Purugly ♂ ~ Garfield
No official Tomy for poor Purugly, so I have to find something else for him.

The Creation Trio
Or Duo. But hopefully it'll be a trio one day.
I LOVE shiny Origin forme Giratina, but it was pure hell to paint one, thanks for its "wings". There's quite many imperfections, but it still looks good enough. I just shouldn't take a too close look. Giratina was my first very long hunt and it has pretty much sentimental value to me. Sadly it doesn't have a nickname, because I transferred it to Black before I gave it one.
If Giratina was one of my longer hunts, Dialga was probably the shortest. It took more time to get ready for the hunt than to actually hunt it. It's still hard to remember sometimes that I actually caught it, because the impact wasn't that strong, even though I really like it's shiny colors. Its name is Mora.

The Lunar Duo
Epiales, the personification of nightmares in Greek Mythology.
Still working to get Cresselia.

Serperior
Leroy was a royal enough name for this proud snake. He was my first 5th gen shiny and also the first MM (=Masuda Method) shiny.
shiny Eevee plush
It's very hard to find good fabric for plushies in Finland, so when I happened to find this smooth, short-haired fabric in both of shiny Eevee's colors, I just had to buy them and make this. I tried to make it 1:1, but it ended up being a bit bigger.
1:1 shiny Zorua plush
Another "found perfect fabric and made a plush" - project. This is my best plush so far, not many things I would do differently.
I wasn't a big fan of Zorua's shiny colors before, even though it is blue. But it looked somehow too bright. Then I got one ingame, and suddenly it looked much more appealing.

Drifloon crochet
I bought this from a Finnish con from Mirusuperstar (Mirukumacrochet at Etsy). It was so perfect I asked her if she would make a shiny Yanma too... and she promised to do one for me! I'll get it in the next con <3
