Which legendary Pokémon are shiny locked in USUM and which are not?

Question

I really want to hunt at least one of those. Can someone please leave a list in the answers or comments on who are shiny locked? Also including the legendaries from the Ultra Wormhole, the Tapu guardians, and the Ultra Beasts. I know that Solgaleo, Lunala and Necrozma are locked but I still wonder who you can hunt and who not.

Answer 1

The following Pokémon are shiny locked in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon:

• Cosmog
• Cosmoem
• Solgaleo
• Lunala
• Necrozma
• Tapu Koko
• Tapu Lele
• Tapu Bulu
• Tapu Fini
• Zygarde
• Ash-cap Pikachu
• All Totem Pokémon

All of the other legendaries and ultra beasts can be shiny hunted. Be aware that shiny locked Pokemon can be distributed Shiny in events; Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, all Tapu deities, and Zygarde were distributed Shiny in events during Gen 7.

Source: knowledge as a shiny hunter. Though if you want a credible source, here's this link: https://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml it tells you what is locked in what games at the bottom of the page.

Yup, you can! There's quite a few videos of people finding shiny UBs on YouTube!

Actually, Zygarde isnt Shiny Locked :D

Might be helpful to update this. As now every Tapu can be found shiny, as well as Zygarde.

The answer says shiny Tapu deities and Zygarde were distributed through events. The ones you encounter through regular gameplay are indeed shiny locked.
