Sorry for not posting last week - I did mention that I might not be able to do it and once again I apologize. Anyway, Ultra Sun and Moon have been out for about a week now and I have to say that I am enjoying this new trip through Alola. I will not give any specific thoughts until I review the game sometime next year. I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't finished or even played the games yet. However, the new games do give me a lot to contemplate - specifically in shiny hunting. I was never that big on shiny hunting until I got Pokémon Moon. I guess the better odds and better methods made the task seem less tedious and more rewarding. That being said, with a new game and new Pokédex, I have already picked out my top choices for shiny hunting once I finish the game. For this list, I chose only Pokémon that are new to Alola and aren't legendary since those can be their own lists somewhere down the line. So without further ado, here are my Top 5 Pokémon that I want to shiny hunt in Ultra Moon.
5. Kabuto
When I first heard that there were more fossils available, I checked to see which ones were exclusive to Ultra Moon. I was thrilled to see that my favorite Kanto fossil was among them. I know some people don't like the green but I always thought that the bright green was cool on Kabuto. I have never shiny hunted for a fossil before and I look forward to trying it out.
4. Dedenne
One of the Pokémon from X and Y that I was most excited about was Dedenne. However, when I played my copy of Pokémon X, I somehow ended up not using one since I didn't encounter one until post-game. I was thrilled to hear that Dedenne was coming to Alola. While I still won't use one for the main game, I intend to catch one - which I have. It's so cute and it's chocolate-colored shiny is also very cute. I cannot wait to hunt this little cutie.
3. Noibat
Speaking of cute and Kalos, Noibat was another Pokémon that I wanted to catch but had a hard time encountering. In fact, its poor encounter rate was the reason that I never shiny hunted for it to begin with. Its shiny is a great color and I adore Noibat so much. I was thrilled when I found that this Pokémon is much, much easier to encounter in Alola. I will catch that shiny - but I will not evolve it since the evolution's shiny is pretty...ah...ugly, in my opinion. I'll keep Noibat as is, thank you.
2. Mantyke
Ever since the trailer was released that showed Mantine surfing, I knew that I wanted to catch a Mantyke. I have always adored Mantine's entire line and their shiny colorations are amazing. Sure, it's just a brighter blue, but I love it so much.
1. Amaura
The only fossils that I love more than Kabuto are Tirtouga, Tyrunt, and Amaura. However, only Amaura was exclusive to Ultra Moon. What can I say? Amaura's shiny is beautiful with its pale blue that is almost white. They took a gorgeous design and made it even better which is what a shiny coloration should do. I cannot wait to shiny hunt for this one!
Well, that's it for this post. I hope you can overlook my poor posting habits for the past couple of weeks and continue to enjoy my posts. Follow me so you don't miss out on future posts and leave a comment below telling me which Pokémon you want to shiny hunt the most in Ultra Sun and Moon. Have a great weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!

Mimikyu Has a Powerful New Z-Move!
First, allow me to apologize for the lateness of this post. I got distracted and completely forgot to do this yesterday. Now, with that out of the way, allow me to address the Donphan in the room. I will not be mentioning any of the recent leaks in case some of you don't want to be spoiled. I also suggest that if you don't want to be spoiled on anything else about the game until you play it that you steer clear of YouTube or any other social sites. Anyway, with Ultra Sun and Moon just days a way, there is little left to speculate on so we'll just stick to the last released trailer. Oh, and in case you are wondering, the latest Corocoro leaks are out but they do not appear to be about USUM. I will mention them, anyway at the end of the post. If you want to see the trailer for yourself you can watch it here or the Japanese trailer here. Whew, that was a lot. Let's get to the good stuff!
I want to congratulate Game Freak on making the cutest and creepiest Z-Move that I have ever seen. Mimikyu's Z-Move is called Let's Snuggle Forever. Again, that is cute and creepy at the same time. It fits Mimikyu so well! The best part of the move is after Mimikyu covers its opponent with its cloth cover. It waits until its trainer gives it a thumb's up then beats up the opponent and promptly spits it out from under the cloth. A creepy build-up and a comic ending - it's probably my favorite Z-Move yet. According to the official website, Mimikium Z can be used with Play Rough, a powerful Fairy-type move. This means that this move is both fun and powerful. Again, I think it really fits Mimikyu. I can't wait to use it at least once just to see the animation.
Let's talk CoroCoro now. The only information out at the moment on Serebii.net is that there will be a new kind of Mythical Pokémon event. To get said Pokémon, you have to collect codes from merchandise in order to get a serial code to get the Mythical Pokémon. The Pokémon that you can get will be Manaphy, Meloetta, and Hoopa. The problem is, the number of codes required to get the serial codes are: 1, 7, and 16. I don't know about you, but that seems very uneven to me. I also don't like that I will have to buy stuff to get a Pokémon code that has always been free. I mean, you already spent 40 bucks on the game to use it in - why must you spend more for a special Pokémon that is unobtainable in any other way?! I hope the process is easier than it looks and this isn't going to stick around or those who can't afford it will be missing out.
Well, that's it for this post. I just want to say that since the week after this is Thanksgiving, I may not be able to post something next weekend. I'll try, but I want to apologize in advance if I can't. That being said, I can't wait to buy my copy of Pokémon Ultra Moon this Friday!! I am so excited!! Leave a comment below telling me what you thought of Mimikyu's new Z-Move and which game you will be getting: Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon. I can't wait to find out.

New Ultra Sun and Moon Trailer Reveals New Team and Lots of Legendaries
The new trailer is here and it might be my favorite trailer thus far. Before we get into the particulars you can watch it for yourself here or the Japanese trailer here. Now, let's get into the good stuff!
First of all, Giovanni has returned and he is not alone. This time, he has Team Rainbow Rocket. The team includes every team leader from Kanto to Kalos! I do mean all of the leaders: Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, and Lysandre. That is amazing. Plus, Maxie and Archie look like they did in the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games. How is this possible? According to leaks on 4chan, Giovanni recruited team leaders from dimensions where they were victorious. The changed appearances of Maxie and Archie certainly seem to support this theory. At any rate, I love the appearances of these two and wish Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire had looked that good. I was never a fan of their updated looks. Anyway, neither Guzma nor Lusamine are shown in the English trailer so I wonder if they are part of Rainbow Rocket or not. A quick clip in the Japanese trailer shows Guzma holding back some Rainbow Rocket grunts so he is probably not part of the new team. Either way, I am already excited and terrified about facing Giovanni and his Mewtwo.
Next up in the Battle Agency. This is apparently a new take on the Battle Factory from past Gen 3 and 4 games. You can rent a powerful Pokémon then engage in one-on-one battles. Battling powerful characters gets you a reward of rare items. The items in question were not specified but it is assumed it would probably be things for breeding or competitive play. You character also gets a cool pair of shades to wear while battling. Okay...why? Also, do you choose which pair you will wear or is it based on your character? It's not very clear.
Remember all the fun of collecting Zygarde cells? It's back - but this time it is Totem Stickers. Instead of a legendary, you get Totem-sized Pokémon for collecting stickers. Okay, again, great, I guess. But, is it any Pokémon of your choice or just the Totem Pokémon from the different trials?? It's not very clear on this subject either. What is clear is that Totem Lurantis is exclusive to Ultra Sun while Salazzle in exclusive to Ultra Moon.
Next, the Island Scan returns with some new Pokémon shown like Charmander and Greninja. I didn't use this feature last time this means very little to me. It's still cool, but I will probably not being using it. The last part is another big one: legendaries that you can encounter through worm holes in ultra space! They are: Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Ho-oh, Lugia, Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Latios, Latias, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Dialga, Palkia, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Regigigas, Cresselia, Heatran, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde. That is a lot of legendaries. Still, some of the best ones are missing but it is still a lot. Of course, there will be game exclusives and some legendaries will require the other two of their trio to appear but it is still amazing. It also seems to include mega evolutions, primal forms, and fusions (Unova dragons). I can't wait to catch 'em all!
