How to Get Shiny Reuniclus in Sun & Moon
Reuniclus is bred by pairing a foreign-language parent with Solosis, then evolving the multiplying Pokemon after a shiny egg hatches. Compare Shiny Reuniclus odds across every game

How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 54 |
| 25%one in four | 148 |
| 50%coin flip | 355 |
| 90%very likely | 1,178 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Reuniclus Sun & Moon Guide
In Sun & Moon, Reuniclus's hidden ability is Regenerator. Heals for 1/3 max HP upon switching out. Better than the standard options for competitive play.
In Sun & Moon, use Reuniclus as a wallbreaker. Special attacks are the main output. It's slow, so Trick Room or priority moves are key. Psyshock is the primary attack.
For Sun & Moon, run Bold on Reuniclus. +Defense is what matters, and the -Attack cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Reuniclus has appeared in 8 games across 5 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
