The conditions are kinda specific, but it would be helpful to have a way of knowing if a pokemon was shiny in the event that images fail to load.

The image above shows a Z-Happy Hour Jirachi, which is only possible on a shiny version. But since my images didn't load, there was no way I could've known it was a shiny.

I think something like a next to the Pokemon's name (ex: Jirachi ), would be a nice QOL change.

Images not loading would be a bug, either on Showdown's end or your network's - there's no need to add another symbol when the vast majority of the time, the images should load correctly. What we could do is add alt text for those images to display text such as Jirachi (BW) (Shiny) in case they fail to load, however. Example:

I would also be fine with alt text, just some indicator.
