The world of Pok&eacute;mon is full of amazing characters and creatures, but not every Pok&eacute;mon is the same. Some are cute with little to no ability (until they <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/motivational-pokemon-posters/crystal-brackett">evolve</a>) while others are amazing creatures so difficult to find and capture, they become the stuff of legend. The best&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon&nbsp;are often the ones players have a hard time tracking down and more often than not, those&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon&nbsp;are shiny. In the world of&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon, the term &quot;shiny&quot; is applied to those creatures whose rare coloration makes them especially desirable to collect.&nbsp;

For most&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon, being Shiny simply means a darker or lighter coloration, but some have stark differences to their less luminous counterparts. The differences between the variations are limited to appearance, but that only makes them more collectible. Getting your&nbsp;Pok&eacute; Balls on top of a Shiny&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon&nbsp;or even a Shiny Legendary&nbsp;Pok&eacute;mon&nbsp;is every trainer&#39;s goal in acquiring the coolest Pok&eacute;mon&nbsp;the game(s) have to offer.

After looking through the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-pokemon-pokedex-entries/nikoberi" target="_blank">Pok&eacute;dex</a> and determining the Pok&eacute;mon&nbsp;that players wanted the most, these are the Shiny and Legendary (sometimes Shiny Legendary) Pok&eacute;mon every trainer has to have!

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-side-characters/leo-reyna?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Anime side characters</a> can play pivotal roles, but many anime enthusiasts agree that some bring little more than frustration or comic relief to the table. These unnecessary personalities still make an impression, often becoming the fodder of funny debates and banter among fans. Their seemingly purposeless existence adds a quirky flavor to their respective series.Our list of the top useless anime characters consistently leaves fans questioning the contestants' utility. From their antics to moments of unintentional sabotage, these figures paint a curious picture of what makes an anime character 'useless,' yet oddly charming.Take Yamcha, for instance. His journey in the&nbsp;Dragon Ball series is marked by consistent failures and comedic mishaps that make him the underdog who never gets his moment of glory. Alongside him, Excalibur from&nbsp;Soul Eater offers a maddening catchphrase and an insufferable personality, making viewers question his relevance with every appearance. Similarly, Yajirobe's presence in&nbsp;Dragon Ball Z is mostly overshadowed by his cowardice and lack of notable fighting skills, making him an infamously ineffective sidekick.Anime’s most useless personas still manage to entertain and hold on to their roles. Which character makes you want to fire them? Vote for the most ineffective anime sidekicks to see who ultimately dominates as the most dispensable. &nbsp;

There is nothing quite as joyous and imaginative&nbsp;as a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/overwatch-characters-drawn-as-pokemon/crystal-brackett">collection of great pop culture mashups</a>, and only a truly great mind could combine the likes of Pok&eacute;mon and Garfield. Artist Shawn Bowers’s latest project,&nbsp;Garf&eacute;mon, does just that. The collection of Garfield-like Pok&eacute;mon fan art is truly just as strange as it is&nbsp;downright amazing.Sharing his work via&nbsp;<a href="http://garfemon.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a>&nbsp;and his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/shawnbowers/">Instagram</a>, Bowers&nbsp;takes&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/marvel-dc-mashup-superhero-fan-art/liam-ross">the mashup concept</a>&nbsp;further than the usual artist. While the visual appeal of this unique Pok&eacute;mon fan art collection is absolutely captivating on its own, the so-called “Garf&eacute;dex” entries make the experience even more fun by exchanging the usual Pok&eacute;mon entries in exchange for more Garfield-esque descriptions. Just don't expect these Pok&eacute;mon to battle, especially on Mondays.

For every amazingly mighty anime character, there is someone else standing in their shadow. In honor of all the wimps out there, we put together a list of the weakest anime characters of all time, and we're letting you rank it. These are the characters that need to be rescued from time to time, the ones who we all love but will never be the hero. Which weak anime character do you consider to be the most useless? Vote up your choices below, and downvote anyone who you think actually isn't that weak.With all that being said, let's cut these characters some slack. Weakness is relative, especially depending on the company you surround yourself with. Take Chiaotzu from DBZ, for example. In his own right he is extremely strong, but put him next to Goku, Gohan, or honestly any of the other Z fighters and Chiaotzu becomes a complete joke (it was kind of cute when he self-destructed and failed to kill Nappa though). Technically, regular humans would be the weakest characters in action anime but there are some strong characters in teams who are noticeably better than average humans but are considered the weakest compared to their comrades to the point that they are made fun of or are considered jokes.)

A peek at the toys you kept safely stored on the highest shelf in the original packaging you never dared let yourself open—which ones are total garbage and which could pay off your student loans if only you hadn't tossed them the last time you moved.

In the &#39;90s, most of us were busy hoarding Beanie Babies in hopes they would pay for our college education once they increased in value. That totally backfired, but <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/valuable-90s-collectibles/matthew-lavelle" target="_blank">another &#39;90s toy hidden in the depths of our childhood bedrooms</a> can actually be worth a boatload. Some rare Pok&eacute;mon cards can easily pay for your college loans.

The <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/pokemon-gifts/taeyura">Pok&eacute;mon Trading Card Game</a> is arguably one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/most-fun-card-games">most fun and original card games</a> of the last few decades. Throughout the years, Pok&eacute;mon has done its best to make these little pieces of paper extremely limited - and some efforts have resulted in outrageous prices nowadays.

The rarest&nbsp;cards were given to a select few master trainers who won tournaments, but you may actually have some of the most expensive Pok&eacute;mon cards in your regular collection. Factory errors also occurred, from the base set first edition misprint to free&nbsp;promotional movie cards that didn&#39;t come out as planned. These are among the rarest Pok&eacute;mon cards in the bunch.

On the trading circuit, Pok&eacute;mon cards receive a&nbsp;Professional Sports Authenticator&nbsp;(PSA) number. Number 10 is complete mint condition&nbsp;and will potentially&nbsp;increase the value of your Pok&eacute;mon cards by&nbsp;thousands. However, if your card&#39;s PSA falls below a 7, it dramatically decreases in value. In August 2019, for example, a <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2019/08/12/pokemon-cards-auction-charizard/" target="_blank">103-piece set</a> of Mint 10 condition cards including a first edition Charizard sold for $107,010 at auction. Each of the cards is considered rare, which proves&nbsp;their increasing value&nbsp;is unrelenting.&nbsp;

Do you have a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/rare-tamagotchi-that-are-worth-money/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">secret goldmine</a> hidden in your grade school backpack? There&#39;s only one way to find out. These are the Pok&eacute;mon cards that cost the most money.
