Adding on to this just in case: do not use Sharpedo at all. It'll scare the pokemon away and thus make the bubbling spot disappear as well regardless of whether you're running or not.

Yes they do work and no they can be fainted. I believe having a fainted Synchronize-r only doesn't work with SOS Pokemon.
Will an egg determine the gender of the hatched Pokemon randomly or is it set from when you receive the egg?
Isn't really a correct order and there aren't many things to do post game. I would definitely suggest going and getting all the ultra Beasts (make sure you level a little before hand) and then grabbing the Tapu's too. After that take on the Battle Tree if you want. I heard there is also and Eevee sidequest somewhere, but I don't know where to trigger it.
Everything about an egg is determined on pickup, although recent research indicates it may actually be set before the egg is picked up. This allows you to "Swap" mons out for others. Check out this thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/breeding-rng-quirk.3589338/ for more info and discussion.
In theory, Kanga is marginally rarer. Taking overall ratios into account (And I might be wrong here, but stay with me). Salandit is a 30% Appearance rate, Kanga is a flat 1% (maybe higher through chaining, but I'll ignore that). Female Salandit is approx 1/8th of the population of Salandit, which means it appears about 3.75% of the time (1/8th of 30). So it's still pretty low, but you're more likely to find one because Salandit is more common than Kanga.
You trigger it at the functioning Thrifty Megamart. You know, the one that's inferior because it doesn't have Mimikyu. Serebii's got a full guide http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/eeveequest.shtml
And, of course, that ratio can be made larger by simply bringing along a male Cute Charm Pokémon in the lead; giving a 66% chance any Pokémon you run into being female and hence essentially making Female Salandit a 20% encounter.
Ive heard that you can get a female Salandit in sun and moon (which are rare to find) using a Male Sylveon with cute charm as the ability. Is it true that it will raise the odds?
Cute Charm completely ignores the species' gender ratio, and turns chances into 2/3 opposite gender, 1/3 same gender.
That's how I got my female Salandit.
If you show up at the motel for the Ultra Beast missions right away, you'll probably struggle to beat Anabel. The best order is to fight through the remaining areas on Poni, win the battle you face upon entering the Battle Tree, and then go back to Route 8 to start the missions.
of course, to get through to poni you still need to beat Dexio who is exactly as strong as Anabel. They're both managable enough with items, it's what I did.
are we talking about the same place because iirc if you fly to the ruins, you go to the entrance to Vast Poni Canyon rather than Poni Grove. To get to the grove you have to go through the sidewinding area where you fight the collector trainer, and that's where you encounter Dexio
The place where you run into Dexio is directly before that sidewinding area which you can bypass by coming out of the ruins. I'm just telling you what happened to me yo; didn't fight Dexio until way later. To the point I actually thought the requirement to fighting him was getting all 100 Zygarde cells.
I can confirm Dexio can be skipped. I had been fighting my way through the Battle Tree for days when I encountered him yesterday. I didn't even know he was there.
Are there reliable ways of checking certain IVs in the Ultra Beasts?
I did find one in Nihilego (Assuming Timid, run something with ~147, if outsped, it's max Speed; if Beast Boost increases Special Attack, it's likely it has a perfect IV -and Special Defense definetly doesn't-) but are there any for the others?
Pheromosa is quite annoying, as its +2 Speed boost means you'd need something with 447 Speed to check max positive Speed. Or paralyze it, but not many things can reach ~223 Speed without being vastly overleveled.

For Pheromosa in particular you should probably just catch it. It has 255 base catch rate and beast balls have x5 so its a guaranteed capture iirc.
Well, I didn't know the trainer exp bonus was gone.
Why people suggets bewears so much for exp grinding? specially since it has a call rate of 6, not so astounding base exp yield, plus you need to run with a ghost pokemon so it doesn't kill itself with recoil or confusion, and there's still the troubles with pain split.
on E4 you can at least swap back and fort something with lunala on every defeated mon so it gets full exp and a LV100 lunala with leftovers should be able to tank almost everything.

Yeah if you're just going to beat up on sos battles, Golduck is much more common, has a more mangable moveset and has the same exact base exp rate
No, every berry has a specific berry tree. Only one tree is capable of spawning Salac Berry ( this one is located at Poni Wilds on Poni Island). Some of the more common berries may spawn in multiple berry trees, however.
