From the launch of Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire in 2003, shininess would only be a cosmetic feature determined by an even more obscure and inscrutable set of calculations that involved even more hidden numbers (one of them is literally called a secret ID!)
I was going to do, and still might, a comparison of Counterspell and Boomerang to Vindicate so as to show that either of the blue spells are quite substantially better in the right situation but pay for it by being that much more context dependant
However, and this is the good stuff, if you discard two Water Energy, then you can do 100 to any of their Benched Pokmon

Blue often has cards that make certain spells cost less, like Haughty Djinn, or free, like Omniscience
