Is shiny hunting a starter in Ultra Sumo more or less obnoxious as in Sun and Moon?

Does anyone know if Shiny Charm affects Poipole's chances of being shiny?
I've heard it doesn't, but I'm hoping otherwise. I'd really like to hunt it rather quickly!

Less. Still a smidge over 2 minutes per SR, but much more bearable.

I told myself I wasn't going to buy the new USUM games, and I caved and bought one yesterday. Played it a bit last night, and was doing some random catches in order to transfer some Pokes over from my Sun/Moon games and ran into a shiny Magnemite. Not the prettiest of shinies, but I'm still stoked. First random shiny since Slugma in Emerald.

Well I can finally weigh in on Ultra wormholes as I just encountered a Shiny Abomasnow on 3rd try (After the story one) so I'll say it's good only like 20 are available like this.
So that's my first USUM Shiny...
As I have all weekend should I keep track of how many it takes for me to get three more? I don't mind as I can use the non-shiny to train.
Edit: Shiny Crustle showed up after 16 more... Is Impish a good nature?
Edit 2: Wow if you can do it well you can get shinies quite quickly... 7 More for a Shiny Nuzleaf.
Edit 3: Well as my hands are aching now... So I'll leave the info here of the 3 shinies so you can talk about it. Now time for bed for me.

Decided not to bother with hunting a shiny Electrode. Would get in the way of the let's play. While levelling up my team for Pryce, I randomly got a shiny Gloom! A female one, so it's the perfect choice to evolve into Bellossom in future

Well after 40 more wormholes (I am bad with the controls) a shiny Heilolisk showed up and my opinion is despite the ease of getting the shinies I now want to pull my hair out.
Congrants on the wormhole shinies, told ya its very easy.
I doubt I will be hunting shinies that way though, the odds seem way to high for more liking.

Since it's a new page and all, question still in need of answer.
Also this Hakamo-o hunt has been going on for nearly a MONTH and nothing. This is beyond frustrating.
EDIT: Yes! It finally shined not long ago. Hasty nature with 31IVs in Sp.Def, Def, Sp.Atk, and Speed. Not bad, but not desirable. Still psyched to have it! Going to use it in my UM playthrough when I get to Poni island.

Hey all. I haven't been here for a while. Bit busy with other things. I have gotten more shinies but cannot remember how many since my last post. So I will just mention my sun/moon ones. I tried s.o.s method for a ditto with only aim of getting a high IV one for Madura method. I entered finding a shiny one. Then I tried for rockruff and got it after a few hours. Then I got shiny Rowlet from MM and not long after that a shiny Litten from MM. I then noticed I had gotten Ash Ketchum's Alola team shiny lol. I have not had much time for ultra sun yet but have started playing a little. Congratulations to all new shinies everyone.
After being sulky that I cannot progress the post-game story of the game, because your forced to catch the UB exclusive..
I had to SR for a shiny without the Shiny charm (Thank you pokebank)
All is well though because in friccan 52 encounters the master of nuggets appeared on my screen !
I couldnt believe my eyes.. lovely! It has the desired nature and it just looks perfect !

Well I am not going to using the wormhole method as I don't like it for the awkward controls. So now I am grapping mons to get the shiny charm and hunt either Nilhego or Latias.

Congratulations to everyone on your shinies, the Ultra beasts shinies look so nice, gonna have so much fun hunting them!
I have already hatched 505 eggs and I'm still waiting for a shiny male cute charm cleffa to appear, gonna stop hatching eggs for a while because I really wanna start SR for a shiny Litten, it would be my first shiny starter ever, have both Ultra Sun and Moon.
Best of luck on your hunts!

After an uncounted number of SRs, shiny Stakataka appeared just in time for work tonight. Sync worked and it's Sassy with 31s in HP, Def, and SpAtk. Caught in a crit-cap Beast Ball. I already prepped my UB worlds (a.k.a. went in and killed one of each to skip the cutscene when I return), so I'm hoping to target Guzzlord ASAP. Might go for Poipole first though.

Well I am offically determined to get a timid, bold or calm shiny latias. Just has one show up but it was lonely so back to sring... But sr'ing legendaries are really quick now even compared to ORAS.
Yes I have gotten the shiny charm.

I was going for a shiny starter on Ultra Sun but it was just too boring, so I bred a shiny Litten on Moon. I started on Sunday and got it Monday in a hatching session where I did nothing but play Moon until my eyes hurt and managed to get it. I'm just glad it didn't take forever like it did with Rowlet. Now I'm using my shiny Litten and shiny Rowlet in Ultra Sun and I'm loving it. Good luck with present and future shiny hunting everyone!

Starting my SRs on Poipole! Hoping for a quick hunt so I can continue on with the story.

That seems like a means of balancing things out
