GN Version 5.0

Looks like Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon have a unique leg-up on the previous games. Catching a Shiny Pokemon has become considerably easier. You can get some details on the process below.

- first you need to beat the base game
- go to Heahea City on Akala island
- go into the Game Freak building, to the right of the Pokémon center
- go to the second floor and into the door and talk to the guy on the left
- you can then change your control input while traveling through Ultra Wormholes
- afterwards, Charizard Glide straight to the Altar of the Moone, which is located at the top of Poni Island.
- enter the wormhole here
- get as far as possible into the warp
- once you start losing speed and start getting gently pulled into wormholes, look out for white wormholes with rainbow edges
- this is where you’ll have a chance of finding a shiny
- travel around 3,000 light years away from where you start
- getting as many golden orbs near the start of the mini-game is key to picking up a lot of speed
- failing sometimes means you encounter a legendary Pokémon instead
- there's also a chance you can find a shiny legendary
- you can soft reset after saving on the other side of the wormhole
