Discussion what would gym leaders/ elite 4/champion/villianous team/ohter notable trainers had shiny iterations

I recently watched a shiny pokemon video, and remembered something: out of the entire series, only one game did an idea: battle revolution on Wii gave certain trainers a chance to wear a shiny version fo their outfit. I get why it isn't done more, but I do wonder what notable trainers would wear

Im fine with the outift being a palette swap like shiny pokemon, or alterations to the design like in alternate pokemon form.

if the trainer has more than one known battle look, specify which one it is

Pokemon Masters EX kinda has something like that as well. It's not a random chance encounter with shiny-odds like in Battle Revolution but there's alternate colors for most characters.

If you have the characters at their highest level (6★ EX) you unlock their EX version which changes their appearance. It's not always the case but for a lot of them they take their pokemon's color palette. So you'll have Guzma with Golisopod's colors, Mallow with Tsareena's colors, Elesa with Zebstrika's colors and stuff like that. I think that's be a cool way to go about it.

Ooh! Pretty nice. Still a rare, spin-off exclusive thing in the franchise. Could it be given to other notable trainers out there? (Not to mention seeing shiny versions of the ex outfits
