My shiny nuzlocke has been boring because I’m so over powered so I’m going to finish the second half by using “bad Pokémon” and turning them into baddies. What Pokémon should I try to shiny hunt for?

spidops and boimbirdier are both ugly and low powered, and if you're okay with going to kitakami in the DLC ariados is also a contender.

Note I need to be able to hunt them in Pokémon violet. So far my team of baddies is Pachi, jumpluff, and oinklonge.

Imma put some qualifiers: -fully evolved form -base stats total under 500 Bonus points: -design is considered ugly or boring -learned and tm move pool notably limited

I think it’s cute! The shiny is cute too. I can try to do a shroodle hunt but that’s gonna be a challenge to spot!

Farigaraf, dundunsparce, falinks, arbolvolia, mismagius, Donphan, and camerupt are all solid "bad pokemon" choices

Two possibilities that meet your criteria I believe

Lumineon is the PERFECT candidate. I hate shiny hunting water types without an out break tho, but if one happens she is making the team.

Wish the shiny was a bit more exciting too
