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.
