I never realized how good shiny hunting was in X and Y, especially with chain fishing.

A lot of people underestimate EV training in XY too, it's literally faster than SWSH which is ironic considering vitamins are supposed to be instant.

Why is it faster?

The SWSH method requires more setup to do for multiple Pokemon and thus more grinding in the end.
SWSH is only faster for a party if you happen to have over 1 mil. That money is easily already spent on other items and clothes and using Watts to sell luxury balls doesn't help catch up to the price.
Hordes in Gen 6 were virtually costless and only took exactly 5 battles to max out on stat for an entire party. That's only 10 minutes for an entire team of pokes.

Really? From my experience SOS chaining was faster, but both can potentially take way longer if you get the wrong hordes or the helper pokemon doesn't want to come.

Can we all time the time to appreciate that gen 6 was the last time we had good fishing?

Which means you can train Pokemon in bulk based on what you need at the time.

Not really. Time a run of the E4 and then time 6 different runs of horde training.
Even if you needed to do ALL 6 stats, they'd both come back to 30 minutes.
