A Pokemon Scarlet & Violet player has shared a post to Reddit, showing off a “bizarre” new way to taunt antagonist Kieran… Beating him with his own team, but entirely Shiny versions.

Reddit user u/BrainlessIdiot321 is behind the post, showing off their own rematch with Kieran, facing off against Dragonite and Politoed with – you guessed it – a Shiny Dragonite and Politoed, alongside text that reads, “A very bizarre rematch for Kieran”.
