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.

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

Thanks!

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
