Last night me and my gf were working to get our pokédexes full. So I was training some to level up such as Hydreigon and she was getting Kingambit. She spent the whole evening scooting around that damn forest killing all the families. Trying to get Bisharp families to spawn. When she finally killed 3, we found out that killing them in Let's Go mode didn't count so she had to find another 1 family. Over 3 hours and 2 shinies deep. That stupid thing finally evolved.

We don't even like it. It was purely for the box. It floats on his chair-tail thing. The shinies she found were a Rivalry Shinx which she doesn't like because it has the bad ability and a Lokix. The Pokémon she had grown to hate during that 3 hours. The look on her face of disappointment finding a shiny Lokix was priceless as she had been joking about probably getting one soon, because she found so many.

Did other people have as much difficulty getting it?
