Ultra Space Wilds: can you encounter a shiny legendary Pokemon again? if you soft reset?

Question

Unfortunately the Synchronize nature wasn't passed down to the shiny legendary Pokemon I encountered. So I soft reset and started over the process. Question is can you encounter this shiny legendary again? note I never caught or saved the game for that shiny encounter previously.

Answer 1

Legendary Pokémon aren't shiny locked so when you are about to encounter them in the Ultra Wormhole save and soft reset until you get a Shiny Legendary.

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

Yes.

Only reason I answered after @AlolanVulpix was because I felt their answer was not too clear (since instead of saying "Yes" or "No" they said "I hope this answers your question" as I am writing this) but if you feel different, tell me so I can hide my answer.

Also out of curiosity who were you hunting. Currently in an ultra wormhole I am hunting Yvetal.

I'm currently hunting Shiny Entei and I'm trying to capture it in Level ball with an Adamant nature. When I hunt for shinies I aim for having a trophy pokemon, a pokemon that looks good in its pokeball and is competitive in battle. For example a week ago I caught a Shiny Palkia in a Love Ball, "yes very lucky"! Yvetal NICE, I caught one 4 days ago in a Timer Ball, Adamant nature. What pokeball do you plan to use?

Premier and great balls are my favorites. I hope you get your entei!

Update I never caught Entei in a Level. Had only 4 level balls and all 4 missed. And it was level 1 and asleep, so I went for second choice the Heavy Ball. Oh well got the nature I wanted.

Level 1 Entei?

Yeah, I didn't ever catch a shiny, but I currently have 3 legendary pokemon caught from the wormhole:  1. Articuno 2. raikou and 3. (the one I am most proud of) reshiram
