Since the collectible-ness of Pokemon is a big part of the game, the creators tried to make it intentionally difficult to delete your data.
In order to do it, go to the main screen of the game (where it shows the legendary and tells you to press start) and press Up, Select, and B at the same time.
This will bring up some menu options that will be able to delete your game. Make sure to take your time navigating these menus if you're serious about deleting, because all the defaults will abort the delete.

When you start and see the legendary, press Up, Select, and B at the same time. Then you can delete your saved data. You may have to hold it for a few seconds for the menu to pop up.

Veteran Pokémon trainers are aware of the Soft Reset method for getting desired Natures and stats for Pokémon that are one time only. Blink 182 greatest hits mega millions. This is normally used for Mystery Gift Pokémon where players can Soft Reset to go back to the same spot over and over again.
To Soft Reset in Pokémon Sun and Moon, you just have to press L+R+SELECT and the game will bring you right back to the start menu.
However, the Soft Reset method can also be used to get Shiny Pokémon when you can’t get them anywhere else. This includes Legendary Pokémon in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and the Starter Pokémon.
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are Shiny Locked, meaning their shiny forms are not available in-game, but the Starter Pokémon are.
SHINY STARTERS
The Starter Pokémon are your first partners in Sun and Moon, and if you are patient enough, you can get the rare shiny form of either Rowlet, Litten or Popplio. If you want a Shiny Starter Pokémon to start your Sun and Moon adventures, you’ll need a lot of time and some luck.
You will first have to get through the opening scenes of Sun and Moon up to when Tapu Koko saves you on the bridge. Once that happens, save your progress here. If you don’t and Soft Reset you’ll have to go through the entire story again.
After you saved, you can head over to the Festival where the Kahuna will give you your Starter Pokémon. This is a long cutscene (around three minutes long) and once you Soft Reset you will have to do this over again, just so you know, but this is the only way to get a Shiny Starter Pokémon in the beginning of the game.
Once you choose your Starter Pokémon you won’t know if it’s a Shiny until you are able to nickname it. If it doesn’t end up being a Shiny just Soft Reset from here and start over.
Here’s a quick video from our friend aDrive about getting a Shiny Starter in Sun and Moon .
LEGENDARIES

While Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts are Shiny Locked, trainers can Soft Reset to get the Nature that they want.
The best way to do this is to save right before encountering a Legendary like Solgaleo or Lunala. Once it’s saved you can go ahead and catch the Pokémon and check its summary for the Nature. If it doesn’t have the Nature you desire, you can Soft Reset and try again to get a different Nature
This method is especially useful for Mystery Gift Pokémon like Munchlax where you can save before talking to the man in the PokeCenter and take your Pokémon. How to stop my laptop from hibernating. If the Nature and IVs of the Pokémon aren’t what you want, you can Soft Reset until it does have everything you want.

The first obvious new forms are Kyurem's Black and White forms. To change forms, use the DNA Splicers to merge Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram. Both must be in your party at the same time. Kyurem's Type and Nature will remain the same, but it will gain a new move set and the Ability of the other legend.
Three new forms for the legendary Flying Pokemon Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus are also available. When captured in Pokemon Dream Radar, they will automatically have new forms and Abilities. Their forms can be changed at Abundant Shrine when the Reveal Glass is used.
