If you saved before encountering a Legendary, you can soft reset to encounter it again until you find the right one you want, but saving after catching or fainting a Legendary, soft resetting can't bring the Legendary back. It won't mess up the soft reset, but it can ruin the chances of finding a shiny Legendary if you already saved after encountering it.
Soft resetting is usually the best way to go. Even though you may have to do several times, it'll work the best.
No, it keeps your save games but gets rid of anything you've done since last saving it. Just like turning the console off and on again.
You can by soft resetting a numerous amount of times.
Chikorita has around 17.5% chance to be a female, so keep soft resetting til you get one.
No. In fact, soft resetting is better for your DS battery than turning it off then on, an it is also a lot quicker.
All legendaries can be shiny when soft resetting.
Sadly, Nintendo discontinued the "Pokeradar" in the new games. Only way you can get shinies now is by breeding and Soft Resetting.
