I wanted to know and start a discussion on which would be fast, so here is my predicament I have recently acquired a copy of alpha sapphire (not that I already had Omega) and I wanted to soft reset for a shiny but I was wondering which would be faster me having a Japanese ditto would it be faster to soft reset or masuda method and wait in till I get the shiny charm or just start SRing a starter
It won't. The most luck you will have with getting shinies is getting the shiny charm and breed for them. This works (in my option) better + you can breed for natures/egg moves/ect + you can trade the not shinies and possibly get other shinies via wondertrade which happened to me a few times before :D
I have been VERY successful with the Masuda Method. I have yet to try Soft-reseting but it seems way more tedious to me.
I do REALLY want a shiny Giratina so I might try it out sometime soon.
