I don't believe Ekans or Arbok are available in Friend Safari. I think the only way to get them are in XY 5% hordes, possibly Pokeradar and breeding.
30800 Jagged Pass encounters
"lol" 30,000 used to seem like a ridiculously huge number to me...now it's just another hunt! {XD}
Congrats on all the new shinies and welcome to the new members!!
Today while watching The Bachelorette with my mom (because we're both trash lol), I was stunned to see that a Shiny Reshiram had dropped down from Hoopa's ring. I had just started hunting Reshiram along with Zekrom about a week ago, although today was the only day that I've actually dedicated real time to SRing, so I can't highlight enough how shocked I am. It's got to have been less than 500 SRs total, and that's without the aid of a Shiny Charm.
What's more is that this Shiny Reshiram is Modest (thank God for my Synchronize Ralts!) and its IVs are great, with a spread of 30/26/25/31/31/31. At first, I wasn't sure whether to catch it in a Premier Ball or Ultra Ball, so I ultimately opted with an Ultra Ball to match the golden rings. I'm so happy, and this is a really good way to have ended May. Now I'm more motivated to hunt Zekrom! I'm crossing my fingers for Adamant, but I guess I can't be too greedy, haha.
Get ready for picture spam. I hope these aren't too large or long lol.

Hoopa's ring? Metaphor or are you actually doing this by battling Pokemon that Hoopa teleports with its rings?
Huh? In Pokemon lore, Hoopa transports Pokemon with its hoop-ring portals, yes. I'm pretty sure that's the same type of ring portal that Reshiram and Zekrom fall out of when you encounter them in OR/AS.
