How to find Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Sun and Moon

SOS Battles in Pokémon Sun and Moon can increase your chances of finding Shiny Pokémon in the wild. As more new Pokémon enter a battle, newly called Pokémon will be more likely to be Shiny, to have their Hidden Ability, and to have higher potential. According to The Pokémon Company, you’ll need a whopping 70 Pokémon to appear before you’ll have the highest odds of a Shiny Pokémon appearing. Don’t expect finding Shiny Pokémon to be easy even with such a long chain! We strongly suggest trying to finish your Alola Pokédex before tracking down Shiny Pokémon. After you do, you can visit the GAME FREAK office in Heahea City to receive the Shiny Charm, a Key Item that further increases your odds of encountering Shiny Pokémon. The odds of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in a normal encounter without the Shiny Charm are about 4,000 to 1, so it’s well worth the effort of chaining Pokémon in SOS battles and collecting the Shiny Charm if you’re looking to collect some Shiny Pokémon.
