Shiny Lillipup
Lillipup gets marginally lighter fur, and the little terrier's shiny is the kind of thing that would fail a spot-the-difference puzzle. You could put normal and shiny Lillipup in the same box and sort them by accident. Game Freak had 156 new Pokemon to color, and the puppy got the short end of every stick.

Base Stats
Nothing fancy in Lillipup's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
This Pokémon is far brighter than the average child, and Lillipup won’t forget the love it receives or any abuse it suffers.
Lillipup Guide
For a casual playthrough, Lillipup works as a placeholder. Normal coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Herdier. That's where the stats start mattering.
