Shiny sprites for some gen 6+ pokemon look pixelated/inconsistent

[justingolden21]

litleo for example is gen 6 and looks fine:

but the shiny is pixelated on many other ones:

I'm using image-rendering: pixelated; and using:

src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeAPI/sprites/master/sprites/pokemon/shiny/{id}.png" and

src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PokeAPI/sprites/master/sprites/pokemon/{id}.png" both of which are returned from PokeAPI.

I don't believe it's just a form issue since deoxys seems to be fine:

The images for the pixelated shiny ones aren't even the same size (they're 128px instead of the usual 96px).

Thanks in advance! Been using PokeAPI and very very happy with it. Let me know if you need anything else or if there's anything I can do.

Seems to only be a few gen 6 pokemon:

• 666 Vivillon
• 668 Pyroar
• 669 Flabebe
• 670 Floette
• 671 Florges
• 676 Furfrou

Thanks again!

Hi! Are you able to gather a better looking version of the sprites and add them to the Pokeapi/sprites repository?

Thanks!

[justingolden21]

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I'm not able to. I'm not sure how I'd do that and I'm not familiar with ripping sprites or recoloring them or however you guys get them (which I'm not even sure to be honest). I wish I could be of more help.

Oh I see they come from smogon. Super cool! I could make an account and kindly ask about those shiny sprites if that would help

We have a kind of agreement with Smogon that it's ok to take their custom-made sprites and integrate them here. We just need to acknowledge it on our README and put the name of the spriter. https://github.com/PokeAPI/sprites#black-and-white

If we are talking about custom-made sprites. If we are talking about original/official sprites that are property of Nintendo and our LICENSE already covers it.

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. Seems like the ones I was referring to are the custom ones (which really look legit, even better than the legit ones imo 😅 )

[justingolden21]

Found them!

Should I make a PR?

[Naramsim]

Yes! Check the authros and add them to the README if needed
