Oh, nice, congrats!

I'm attempting PokeRadar hunting in Diamond. I'm going for Smeargle. The highest chain I got was 33, but the Smeargle though getting a Struggle crit 3 times in a row was more important than getting in the ball, so I failed to catch it. Then, the next encounter was a Starly, so that was annoying.

Also I'm patiently waiting for someone to respond to my Meta comment ;-;

I saw a question that said USUM SRs are faster.

I might not hunt Regigigas, since I already have a shiny one from Omega Ruby. Though thanks, if I do decide to end up going for it.

I'm not sure. I don't have much experience with hunting legends in DAs, especially since I don't have charm. Since you have a chance from getting other Pokemon from DAs, I'd opt for Soft Resets, since you can guarantee that you get your target (I suppose you could just not catch the other Pokemon in the DAs, but you'd have to have a really luck run to consistently make it to and defeat the boss). As for which is faster, between ORAS and USUM, I'm not sure, but I'd opt for USUM because getting the shiny charm seems to be easier between the too, plus, there's more variety for what you can hunt. However, if Charm isn't included, then I'd probably opt for DAs.

"That's ridiculous... How is your luck so good??????????? Ughhhhhh I mean you started hunting that 2 days ago?? Wtf!"

I don't know. I actually don't know. RNGceus is on my side this week I guess.

"Me who spent a month horde encountering for a damn hoppip"

If it helps you feel better, I did SOOOOO many Horde encounters for Magnemite, only to get a Minun.

"My only shiny legendary is a Moltres that came in ten Dynamax Adventures, (also my only successful shiny hunt in SwSh, thousands of encounters into Regice, Wooloo, and Nincada and never got any of them.)"

Ok I'm slightly jealous because I still need the Kanto birds.
I've actually gotten a legend from DAs too, it was a Latias, at almost odds (the DA odds). I've gotten a couple of DA shinies, most of them taking A LOT of DAs, but that's mostly because I don't have charm. I've also gotten some other shinies in Shield. There were the masuda hunts, the random encounters, the random Snorunt... aw shoot I'm not helping I'm sorry!

"My recent shiny hunts have been determined by a random Pokemon generator, I get six Pokemon and then hunt them."

My targets usually depend on the game. Sometimes, I'll just hunt whatever I want, which is mostly the case for Omega Ruby and was the case for Violet, until started getting so many shinies. Now, my Violet hunts are based off what I need to complete the shiny dex, and I'll plan my targets accordingly. Some hunts, like my Masuda Cryogonal in Shield, I'll do because I want to complete certain tasks (the Regice temple puzzle) in style. Some games, like in Diamond, I'll do hunts because I need to/I want to get them out the way, specifically, Dialga and Azelf respectively (they don't respawn if you run away or KO them in Diamond and Pearl, so I either get them shiny or get them regular. Although generating targets sounds fun, I might have to try that.

As you can see, I got the Shiny Azelf. This was just shiny legendary week, I guess

Not sure, I stayed up REAL late these past few nights shiny hunting so I imagine I did a bunch of resets.
