For some unidentified reason, Graphorns have to be fully reset each attempt to try at a shiny version, and doing this method landed me my first shiny (female) after 12 attempts.

After an insane amount of trial and error (about 75ish resets without clearing), I can confirm that for each attempt in resetting for the Graphorn, you need to (in this order) kill, capture, change time of day, save and then manually load back into the save. Graphorn resetting is the only time where you will be required to clear the den each time.While this is very tedious, it does seem to produce shinies at a much higher frequency than just reloading, however the reloading method WILL work with time (for all but the Graphorn-addressed next). The highest chance at getting a shiny is by doing a full clear every save.You can use 'Restart from last save' instead of manually loading every time, however if you autosave while checking the den you should do a manual load from your original save file instead.When save-resetting for shinies, be sure the clear the den completely the first time as it seems to give a higher chance of resetting all animals in the den.As someone who has used the save method for shiny hunting all beasts (photos will be linked as well), I have some pointers for that method to add.
