Wyrdeer shiny comparison from r/The Silph Road

Thank you to TopAssistance2 from reddit for the above preview.

Compared to Wyrdeer's traditional look, shiny Wyrdeer has almost sickly looking green fur. Meanwhile, its antlers have retained their yellow shine. Personally, while I'm a fan of Wyrdeer, I wouldn't be disappointed if I never caught this shiny form...

Everything we know about Wyrdeer

Wyrdeer made its first appearance in the Pokémon universe in Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch. It originates from the Hisui region, also known as the Sinnoh region in modern day, where it is the evolution of Stantler from Gen 2. Time, however, has seen Wyrdeer become extinct.

Like Stantler, Wyrdeer takes inspiration from deer. In Wyrdeer's case, this inspiration appears to specifically come from reindeer as it has far thicker fur and larger antlers compared to its pre-evolved form. Considering how the residents of the Hisui region used its fur for clothing, Wyrdeer's impressive mane could be one of the reasons it no longer exists in the modern Pokémon world.

Though considering how the orbs held within Wyrdeer's antlers are said to use psychic powers to distort space, maybe these Pokémon have just gone into hiding...

Good luck catching Wyrdeer in Pokémon Go!
