How can I soft reset?

I've already completed the game 3 times and I only recently found out about Soft Resetting. I wanted to try it but after 17 on Heatran, I got really Impatient.

If anyone has an easily explained tutorial on how to soft reset and how to automate this, please tell me because I'm itching to get a shiny legendary.

Actually, it is possible to automate the process. However, it involves taking apart your 3DS and requires quite a bit of hardware knowledge, and so is not for the faint of heart.

Here is a link to the original "automatic shiny finder," and here is a link to someone who was able to successfully recreate it. Here is a link to a different one, which uses a similar method to achieve the same result.
