Very true, forgot all about that. I love how diverse Clefables move set is too, getting things like ice beam and flamethrower. When I did a shiny only playthrough of Lets go Eevee I caught a shiny Clefairy and it was the best member of my team.

Lucky. I can't seem to chain more than 6 people together. I ing hate the Pokemon like Meowth, Rattata, and Pidgey who run at you to break your combo... How do you get it so these irritating b*tches leave you the alone? BTW I figured out who my team is going to be. Eevee Charizard Victreebel Golduck Alolan Raichu Alolan Ninetales I wanted Poliwrath but it takes too long to get it so I'm going to keep my Calm Psyduck I caught north of Cerulean City. I can get the Alolan Raichu and Alolan Vulpix in trades at various Pokemon Centers and considering I've never used any Alolan Pokemon on any team I've made really (since I don't with Gen 7) I figured now is the time to use them. They are both really cool/cute looking and have solid stats so I look forward to adding them asap. So that means in the meantime the Clefairy (I did go back and train the Clefairy I caught) and Pikachu I have in my team atm are just place holders. Kinda sad but what can you do? I usually have a team planned in advance from the beginning. I wish you could trade right away but I guess not.

I’ve just passed 1000 SOS encounters for a Pyukumuku. It has a 6 call rate and takes ages to call in. Someone up there hates me, it’s been 3 days!!

^ That's so crappy.
I got to Lavender Town and am trying to get to Celadon and Saffron City asap so I can get my two final team members.
My team is level 28-29 and as follows:
Eevee Weepinbell Charmeleon Psyduck Pikachu Clefable (evolved it after it got Moonblast)

Just caught a shiny shadow Koffing from James.
I have two shiny Ekans so it is about time I got lucky with the Koffing.
It's been a little while since I got a shiny so this was nice.

I’m STILL going for Pyukumuku and I’m adamant I ain’t giving up on this hunt. I’m now at 1170 sos encounters. Thank god for the skill swap/harvest method 😅

Got it!! 1218 encounters. For an SOS chain, that’s way beyond border line ridiculous. But I didn’t give up and even though it took 4 days I guess it’s done now and start another hunt.

Good job but that sounds like hell.
Speaking of shinies a little after my last post I caught my second shiny in 24 hours.
It was my second shiny Alolan Rattata. So not the best but now I can give it to my step-aunt I suppose.

^ Good to know. So just run away. I will try later on most likely.

Alolan Ninetales Eevee Alolan Raichu Golduck Weepinbell Charmeleon
All level 33-34

Team update after doing Rocket Game Corner stuff. Alolan Ninetales Eevee Alolan Raichu Golduck Weepinbell Charmeleon All level 34-35. I shall get my Charizard very soon as well as Victreebel since I might as well evolve it after I get Poison Jab. It's Timid nature so Sludge Bomb is my Poison move of choice but I don't get the TM til Cinnabar Island's mansion so that sucks.. Still Poison Jab is better than Acid even if Acid is a special attacking move (since Victreebel's stats basically allow it to be a mixed attacker).
EDIT:
I also caught my first shiny Bulbasaur before I ate some delicious Italian food. So while it isn't anything special and I got one traded to me a while ago, it was still nice.
I always thought it was much more yellow but this one is not that different than the original. I was surprised when I saw the shiny symbol since I didn't catch the sparkles.

I would say my Shiny luck is back.
Caught an Igglybuff at 47 encounters to evolve into Wigglytuff and complete that line, then got Trapinch at 252 encounters to evolve into Vibrava and complete that line too. Played through Ultra Necrozma and the last trial then went back and hunted Elgyem. Got it at 235 encounters so that completes that line too.
I only have a few SOS hunts to do in USUM and I have everything available, so I reset my Pokemon X copy and that’s the next game I’m gonna commit my time too as there’s a lot in that game I need.

Got a shiny Kricketot today, and I didn’t even realize it could be shiny. I knew there was event the started today, but totally forgot that Kricketot became shiny eligible along with it. I clicked it accidentally trying to click a different spawn, so quite lucky to say the least.

^ That's cool.
I'm still on the hunt for a shiny of various Pokemon that are spawning more frequently now: Kricketot, Skitty, Mareep, Burmy (are all available or just the grass one?), Woobat, and the new Croagunk although I do hate these special attire Pokemon that can't even evolve.
They just take up space really and for what?

I thought all Burmy are shiny, but I’m not 100% sure. That, Skitty, Croagunk, or Roselia are ones that I don’t have yet. Roselia has been shiny for so long I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t have one lol.

Got a Shiny Frillish at 356 encounters and I’m currently going for a second one although I’ve just hit 700 SOS encounters so it’s taking its time.

Got two shiny Kricketot on the way home tonight so that was unexpected but nice.

Alolan Ninetales Eevee Alolan Raichu Golduck Victreebel Charizard
All level 38.
I last saved in Fuchsia City so will beat Koga later today most likely.

I’ve been shiny hunting in Ultra Sun & Moon for nearly 4 years. Never have I had an SOS hunt go past 1000 until this past week. Well, it’s happened again because I just passed 1000 on this Frillish hunt. What are the odds that in 4 years it never happens then in a week it happens twice? I guess that’s shiny hunting right there.

Got the Shiny Frillish, 1148 SOS encounters. Did an hour of Squirtle Island as an but I didn’t feel like it today, I was desperate to start hunting my 3 Snorunts. I got 1 in 53 encounters, it was male so that’ll stay as a Snorunt. Using Cute Charm Sylveon to try and get a female to evolve into Froslass. Put it down for a bit while I go out but I’m at 210 so far.

Good luck.
Froslass is cool.
I just wish she was stronger. Base 80 Special Attack is weak. I know they reduced her defenses by 10 to give her +30 to Speed (in comparison to Glalie's 80 base stats across the board) but I wish they would have just made her have like 50 Attack while they were at it so that she could get +20 in Special Attack for 100 base Special Attack to go along with 110 base Speed.
