Then as I thought about it and while playing Pokemon Violet and saw the Squawkabilly different colors

At first, I thought the first different one I saw was shiny but it wasn't, it was just a form

Then I remembered that even pokemon like Vivilon and the Flabebe line the different colors are considered forms

Let alone Pokemon like Shellos with its West and East form being not only pink and blue but the smaller differences of their head shape

So I just figured that they should do that for Pokemon like Kecleon to have the purple version

And there are other Pokemon like that, like all the pink Pokemon from the anime including the iconic pink Butterfree

And even stuff like Crystal Onix, the Mewtwo movie variants with the spots and such, the orange island forms, and even the Magikarp patterns from Magikarp Jump, etc…

These kinda take away from the shiny forms especially since most are better than their shinies but I think it's just a consequence when you have a more boring shiny design for some of these Pokemon

But that doesn't really apply for Pokemon like Vivilon as the different patterns make them more appealing than the black-and-white swap the body gets in its shiny form

Plus people just like the rarity and shiny sparkle and will still hunt them and such for even just completion purposes

And back to Kecleon, they could just play with color animations more like have it change colors constantly

Shame that even if this is a idea to make it work
