Which Pokémon can't be shiny in Sun/Moon?

According to Serebii this is the list of shiny-locked Pokemon in Sun/Moon:

  • Tapu Koko (With the exception of the event Tapu)
  • Tapu Lele
  • Tapu Bulu
  • Tapu Fini
  • Cosmog
  • Solgaleo
  • Lunala
  • Nihilego
  • Buzzwole
  • Pheromosa
  • Xurkitree
  • Celesteela
  • Kartana
  • Guzzlord
  • Necrozma
  • Zygarde

Probably also Magearna and Marshadow are shiny-locked like other Event-only Legendaries, they are listed in a different table.


It would appear that Solgaleo, Lunala, and the Ultrabeasts are shiny locked
