[IMPORTANT] The Shiny Showdown

[stephenWITNESS]

Trainers love shiny Pokemon. From shiny hunting to randomly hatching a shiny Bagon while you were trying to breed for a 6iv Salamence, it's always a great feeling to get one. Because of this there's no surprise that people have strong opinions of which shiny Pokemon are the best. Welcome to the Shiny Showdown: where every week we'll pit 2 trainers favourite shinys against each other to find out which is the best!

The Rules:

1. Only the first 16 trainers to submit a Pokemon will be accepted (sorry I'm only allowing 16 places).
   
2. To submit a Pokemon all you have to do is name your pick in a reply to this thread.
   
3. Only one entry per user.
   
4. Every week we'll hold a poll for the Pokemon battling and the winner will advance to the next round.
   
5. In case of a draw @FireTaco will have the deciding vote.
   
6. Be respectful of everyone's choices.
   

I'm going to be running a bracket on Challonge to keep track of the results which you can find HERE

Good luck everyone. Pick wisely. May the best shiny win!
