There aren’t any new fossils in the Alolan region, but you can obtain all the old fossils(minus the Old Amber) by either buying them from Olivia’s Jewelry store in KoniKoni City or receiving some from the Poképelago Isle Aphun rare treasure search. You can soft reset for fossil Pokémon in these games by bringing them to the Fossil Restoration Center along Route 8 on Akala Island. You’re now able to soft Reset for all of the previous Ultra Beasts and all the Legendaries(except for Zygarde) from Generations 1-6. It’s about 3-5 minutes of a wait to see if it’s shiny or not. You can soft reset for the starters, but just like in X and Y, there is a long cutscene before you can pick your starter. To soft reset on these games you need to hold down L, R, Start, and Select at the same time. The Roto-Catch makes it easier to catch a shiny when you do find one. The Roto-Encounter will increase the wild encounters and will stack with the Illuminate ability. Morellul (you can get one from Lush jungle), Shiinotic, Staryu(you can get one on Hano Beach on Akala Island in the sand patches), and Starmie can have the Illuminate ability. Having a Pokémon with the ability Illuminate in the front of your party will help you encounter more Pokémon. You can encounter wild Pokémon in grass, caves, surfing, through ambush encounters, in moving sand on beaches, and while fishing. Randomly encounter Pokémon in the wild in the hopes that one is shiny. These Pokémon have their own set of shiny odds that I will later go over in their section of the guide. Ultra Space also has some Pokémon not native to the Alolan region. Ultra space and the wormholes inside of them now allow you to hunt all of the legendaries from Generations 1-6(except for Zygarde) and all of the Ultra Beasts(except for Blacephalon and Stakataka they don’t have their own wormholes and are instead found terrorizing the Alolan region). Hold down L, R, Start, and Select at the same timeĪnother major difference is you are now able to explore Ultra Space with Solgaleo and Lunala. Tapu Koko, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Lele, Tapu Fini, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Zygarde, Magearna, all Totem Pokémon(including the gift ones), the three Hypno from a sidequest, The lost Sandygast on Route 14 on Ula’ula island, and the Spearow that attacks Nebby on the bridge in the beginning of the game are all shiny locked. You cannot receive this Pokémon, but the trainer does give you six gold nuggets after defeating him


There is a trainer in the Pokémon center on Poni Island that owns a shiny Exeggcute. Shiny Odds with Shiny Charm are 1 in 1,365įrom the Game Director in the Gamefreak Office in Heahea City after completing the Alolan Pokédex(minus Mythical Pokémon)įrom Morimoto in Gamefreak Office in Heahea City after defeating him in a battle
