Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Clarifies Synchro Machine Use

In a new update, Nintendo confirms the mechanics for the new Synchro Machine feature that will be introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's DLC.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can find shiny Eeveelutions in Paldea. However, many aren't fond of Shiny Jolteon's design, whose fur looks like a muted shade of yellow-green. Reddit user Substantial-Pain4308 found this shiny Pokemon in the wild, saying that it looked "sick" because of its odd-coloration. They also jokingly asked fellow players if they should put it out of its misery.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can use a Thunder Stone with Eevee to evolve it into a Jolteon. They can also find Jolteon wandering in West Province (Area One).

In the comments, many Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans agreed with Substantial-Pain4308's observation that the Shiny Jolteon didn't look great. Some joked that the Pokemon should be brought to a Pokemon Center to be treated. Meanwhile, others expressed their disappointment that Shiny Jolteon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet looked dull compared to its vibrant golden fur in Gen 2.

Shiny Jolteon was first introduced in 2000's Pokemon Gold and Silver, where it had golden brown fur instead of the normal bright yellow. The Pokemon's fur was switched to a bright green in 2003's Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. However, the green shade became more muted as years went by, which explains why so many fans dislike how Shiny Jolteon looks in Gen 9.

In the past, Pokemon fans have made new shiny designs for Eevee and its Eeveelutions. For Jolteon, one artist created an electric blue version of it, which was unique but still suited its Electric typing. While it's unlikely that Game Freak will edit Shiny Jolteon's appearance in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, many fans can still use their creativity to change the Pokemon's appearance through their art.
