I really, really don't think so. That thread had a lot of confusion. It seems like there are specific ones that are set to be shiny, and others that are presumably normal, where you could theoretically soft-reset and have your otherwise normal chance of the 'mon you encounter being shiny. But maybe I'm wrong and it's actually that insane.

Everything except for Lightning Rod Alolan Marowak, but forcing you to use only one Pokemon would have been a horrible idea.
I think the Lurantis Totem challenge can be the standard for future Pokemon boss fights, providing a legit challenge without it being unfair.
Interesting, so we can know beforehand if the UB we are getting is shiny?
Yes. Some Ultra Wormholes have a special yellow border/white center that pretty much guarantees a shiny encounter. Tho it’s not confirmed exactly which encounters are.
Some people claim that you can SR inside the dimension to get a shiny but only legendaries were shown and no words for UB and regular Pokemon.
How does the Rotom based "use 2 Z-moves per battle" thing work, do you have to use a Rotom item before battle, always after it's unlocked, or just a random occurrence?
And just because someone else is going to ask: does it work in multiplayer/Battle Tree/Agency?

Well, I still haven't had the answer for this... Do we have a chance that the Alolan starters now are available in the wild and be caught in different balls?
And also, their HA. (not that it matters for me if it improves nothing for Primarina)

the alola starters aren't available anywhere in the wild or island scan or the wormholes
Which is a damn shame. I mean, no Liquid Voice or Long Reach isn't the end of the world, but Intimidate Incineroar is a must, especially now that it has Drain Punch and Knock Off.
Oh well, it'll probably end up being an event or a PGL Tournament prize at some point. It's just a little disappointing having to wait like this after XY gave us HA Starters immediately.
Well, the BW starters had to wait one and a half generations to get their Hidden Abilities even though they were introduced in the same generation as them...
Yeah, but GF seems to have gotten faster about getting HA's out starting in Gen 6, with only the Skrelp, Clauncher, Tyrunt, and Amaura lines being the only non-Legends/Mythicals not to get theirs right away, and all Gen 6 Mons having their HA's released by the end of the Generation.
At the moment, it's just the Starters, the Tapus, and Passimian/Oranguru (actually, can they be SOS'd now?) that are unreleased, and with USUM being the last games on the 3DS, there may not be much time left to get them out (though I wouldn't be surprised if the Telepathy Tapus rollover into Gen 8), so I'm curious as to how/when we'll get them.
No lie, you must be pretty awful at Mantine surfing.
(yes it correlates with higher scores)
Once you get to the first surfing spot, you can consistently get 10 Battle Points without trouble, and 14 Battle Points in Ula'Ula if you can pull off Starmie 720 and Primarina Twist consistently. That's like 50 BP in 10 minutes and it is actually a very easy farm. You can even abuse this and go to the Battle Royal and get items like Leftovers incredibly early in the game. It will take no time.
Do you possibly have the exact location on the island where they appear?
But even in vanilla, like 60% of Poni Island have been post-game. Maybe that's not as big as that Sinnoh Island, but a post-game definitely exists.
Thought they had been posted earlier, but I guess not, nothing pops up when I search. Here they are:
Charmander - Route 3
Squirtle - Seaward Cave
Onix - Ten Carat Hill
Horsea - Kala'e Bay
Scatterbug - Hau'oli City
Bulbasaur - Route 2
Litwick - Hau'oli Cemetary
Ralts - Route 6
Spheal - Route 7
Combusken - Route 8
Honedge - Akala Outskirts
Beedrill - Route 4
Grovyle - Route 5
Marshtomp - Brooklet Hill
Rhyhorn - Blush Mountain
Swinub - Tapu Village
Prinplup - Route 16
Grotle - Ula'ula Meadow
Pidgeot - Route 10
Monferno - Route 11
Axew - Mount Hokulani
Eelektross - Poni Grove
Aggron - Poni Plains
Rotom - Poni Gauntlet
Leavanny - Poni Meadow
Chesnaught - Exeggutor Island
Greninja - Poni Wilds
Delphox - Ancient Poni Path
Went poking around the game text dump and located the clothes section. Agent Sunglasses are mentioned alongside a few other interesting outfits. Hopefully we will be able to get those
Also, you can get a Karate Gi (if male) or a Pokemon Center Nurse outfit (if female) when you complete the Alolan Regional Dex.
Not to nitpick but afaik you can still farm infinite Leftovers earlygame from fighting Munchlaxes no?
btw with dusk man and dawn wing. do they take the nature and iv of solgaleo/lunala or that of necrozma's?
Necrozma, similar to how BW Kyurem only takes Kyurem as the basis. It is of no difference.
Do the Pokemon found with Island Scan are day specific like in SM?
^Knowing if Passimian finally has its HA would be nice.
Does this Pikachu have Lightingrod? *prays it does*
Ok, just googled it, it has Static :-/ at least the nature is random. Oh, and you can get flying Pika as well, by beating your score with new but low value trick.

unfortunately it gets static
Is there anything special that should happen in the Pikachu place on the 2nd island? There's a Pikachu repeatedly emerging from a house (sometimes three), and a lonely one you you can't interact with, supposedly requiring a Cap Pikachu for something?
Speaking of which, what's the point in interacting with Pokemon at all? Can you ever get anything out of it?
