These creatures are made to move merch for the normalfag masses, you think they deliberately made a worse-colored version to mass market and locked a better looking variation behind an autism shiny hunting barrier? And only occasionally do any shinies show up in the anime, literally the main means of promoting the franchise and its monsters.
