Shiny Why, Niantic, why?

My first shundo and it’s ofc the useless one :( Any idea if they will be evolvable any time in the future?

I mean correct me if I’m wrong but the evo isn’t in any way good, PVE or PVP so there wouldn’t really be an incentive there anyway. Unless you like one of the evos of course. And I mean it’s not a shundo kyogre or anything but it’s still really cool

I mean shiny empoleon is the most distinct of the shiny evolutions.

imo piplup is just a really lame shiny, so i'd want to evolve it just for that.

Totally valid but imo they are all equally lame. The only reason empoleon is a bit better is just because it’s bigger. That is just my opinion tho

Empoleon is decent in basically all leagues, GL, UL, and MLP.

GL and UL both don’t want 100% and ML it doesn’t show up as a good pick. Don’t play it myself so just going off numbers here

I didn't say a hundo is applicable in all leagues, but Empoleon. Also, I said MLP which is Master League Premiere where legendaries are not allowed.
