Adding Shiny Stars

To add a shiny star to any icon, use ImageMagick's composite command. The star templates are already sized to match the icons (128x128), so they can be placed directly with center gravity:

# Add a star to a single image
magick composite -gravity center star_templates/star1.png shiny_icons/Generation2_0152-251/pm0186_00_01.png output_with_star.png

Batch Processing All Icons

Windows (PowerShell):

# Create an output folder and process all icons
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "shiny_icons_with_star"
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path "shiny_icons" -Filter "*.png" | ForEach-Object { magick composite -gravity center "star_templates/star1.png" $_.FullName "shiny_icons_with_star/$($_.Name)" }

Mac/Linux (Bash):

# Create output folder and process all icons
mkdir -p shiny_icons_with_star
find shiny_icons -name "*.png" -exec sh -c 'magick composite -gravity center star_templates/star1.png "$1" "shiny_icons_with_star/$(basename "$1")"' _ {} \;

Creation Process

The majority of these shiny icons were created using our custom Sprite Recolor Tool. This tool takes:

• An original sprite/icon
• A normal Pokémon texture reference
• A shiny Pokémon texture reference

The tool then recolors the sprite to match the shiny color palette.

Usage

These icons are free to use for personal and community projects. Attribution is required, so please credit the contributors in your projects.
