    Have you ever SR'd for a shiny starter?

    I just started Ultra Moon and decided to SR for a shiny Popplio. I'm currently 30 SRs in and I'm beginning to regret my decision but you know, I can't stop now. Have you ever SR'd for a shiny starter in any of the games?

    You save before choosing your starter, in Ultra Sun & Moon it's right before the cutscene where you're attacked by a wild Yungoose. You pick your starter and if it isn't shiny, you reset and do the whole cutscene/pick your starter again until it is. The chance of finding a shiny is 1 in every 8192 soooo... usually takes quite the amount of resets. However, some are lucky and get their shiny after only a dozen of resets while others go on for hundreds or even thousands of resets. xD

    No I have never.

    But I follow the Pokemon sub-reddit and have come across posts of people talking about ways of SR (Soft Resetting) your 3DS pretty quickly. It seems like it's the norm for people to do in that section xD Wish I could throw that kind of time around these days...

    I never have, and I never intend to. No patience for that-- I'd rather just breed for a shiny starter, that's a lot easier.
    Besides, you can guarantee nature (and if you use Swap Method, the IVs and gender somewhat as well) on stuff you breed.
    Nothing like an awful nature on a shiny to kill the joy of it all, right?

    Besides, there's no Shiny Charm or Masuda Method to speed up soft-resetting for starters.
    And I still have an original 3DS model, which takes forever to reset Sun and Moon, much less USun and UMoon.

    If I'm going to soft-reset for anything, it'd be a shiny Nihilego.
    Now that USUM makes it possible to get a shiny one.. well, I'm going to have to get myself a lemonade jellyfish sometime soon.

    I'm currently at 1700 SR's for Shiny Rowlet on Ultra Sun. I already tried on Sun and never got it so I never played that game.

    Thanks lookie! I was actually very lucky and got mine around 350 resets. After I figured I could multitask and SR while watching a movie it made the process a whole less dreadful.
