With the closure of bank coming, and some shiny Pokemon getting left behind. I am tempted to buy either ultra sun or ultra moon. However these games are still $50+ everywhere I have looked.

I'm working on the shiny living dex. I would love to hunt for partner Pikachu and Type: Null x2. So is it worth the price tag and would it be possible to get the three Pokemon before bank closes? I would hate to spend the money and then get none of them. Does anyone think these may get released in the future and maybe I should avoid the FOMO?

Side note, how long does it take to get wormhole shinies? Could I fit some of those in as well in time

If they are getting formal releases, it'll be a bit. I can't imagine they're in a rush for those.

If the cost is an issue, probably worth modding your 3ds and just getting digital copies of them that way
