What is the most efficient way to shiny hunt every single Pokemon?
Note: Answering this question is a large undertaking.
I am looking for a list detailing the best and easiest method, game, and location for shiny hunting every single Pokemon. The list should include one method per Pokemon.
In some occasions, one Pokemon has equal odds and similar efficiency across multiple games, for example, the Regis. The three original Regis most efficient way of getting shiny is soft resetting in either ORAS or USUM. In these scenarios, use the newer game.
If a Pokemon’s pre-evolution has an easier method of obtaining shiny than it’s evolution, do not include that as the method of obtaining the evolution. This should be treated as creating a Shiny Living Dex. In some situations, like Silvally, this can’t be helped.
Remember, Masuda Method is always an option, but do not specify a game with Masuda Method. Also, if you can get equal odds using a different method, such as Friend Safari, don’t use Masuda Method.
If you have any questions, please ask! Good luck!
Edit: Do not use Dynamax Adventures for non-Legendary Pokemon, unless the Pokemon can’t be found elsewhere with increased odds in main series Pokemon. Non-Legendary Pokemon cannot be targeted specifically in DA, so you cannot really hunt them.
Do not use PokeRadar unless there is no option even close to as good of odds as PokeRadar. PokeRadar is extremely luck dependent as I believe you only have a 5% chance to get to a chain of 40.
Formatting should be:Bulbasaur: Catch Combos, LGPE, Viridian Forest

I’m gonna start answering little by little I don’t actually expect anyone else to do this. This is kind of a personal project that is being shared with anyone who wants it. If you’re looking for a specific Pokemon, I recommend using Ctrl+F or Find in Page to find the Pokemon you’re looking for
I will mention two methods for version exclusives most of the time. Remember Masuda Method is (almost) always an option.
