The shiny Teddiursa, or as it is fondly known – the Little Bear Pokémon, is a minty green 🌿, which is the conventional color for shiny Pokémon (up to 40% of shiny Pokémon are green).
Many trainers do not like this color though, because it is a bright, conspicuous color that somehow looks a bit off in the Pokémon GO game. Some even say its color resembles snot or slime.
Aside from being green, this shiny Pokémon looks like a cute bear 🧸 similar to its original form, and has a habit of licking its honey-soaked palms.
Shiny Teddiursa also has a big C at the center of its forehead.
