Is it more efficient to save the game before taking an egg from the day care man, hatch the five/six eggs, and if none of them are shinies to restart the game and gather up the eggs again?
I don't know when SV's are calculated, when the daycare man turns around or when you receive the egg from him, but if the former I'm assuming you could just decline the egg and then bike a bit to get another egg quickly.
