What is the easiest way to obtain your secret ID in SS?

So I wanted to try the Cute Charm glitch. I have asked another question, which can be seen [here][1].

Anyway, I wanted to ask if I should soft reset in Soul Silver to try and obtain a shiny starter in the beginning, because I need to find my Secret ID, which can only be found if you have a shiny, or if you use the Action Replay code.

Now, I’m not a big fan of Action Replay after seeing what it did to my friend’s game.

If I get the Cute Charm Glitch to work, I’ll be so happy with my Shiny Lugia, Ho-oh, Entei, Raikou and Suicune.

EDIT:Tell me what you would do, and please provide reasons.[1]:http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/215161/i-need-help-with-the-cute-charm-glitch

Answering from my point of view.

Meganium looks gold.Typhlosion looks slightly decolored.Feraligatr looks Torquise.Besides, the Gyarados isn’t that far away. At lelast not in Kanto.Shiny starters are rare but useless unless you have Pokebank. If transferred, tarde for some really rare legends.Shiny starters are nice and all but a 1/8192 chance of getting one? Useless. And really hard.

HOpe I helped!-It’s a secret!
