    I have tried a couple methods (i.e Masuda, Chain Fishing, etc...) and I have caught a couple, but it took like 2-3 hours just to catch one. Is there an easier way to catch them?
     
    No.




    But really- no. Those two and Pokéradar are really the best chances you got.


    And the Shiny Charm, but I forget how you get it- completing the National Dex, I think.
     
    Unfortunately, that IS the easy way to catch them. Shiny Pokemon are ridiculously rare, and methods like chaining are the best way to increase the encounter rate. Outside of using a cheat device, there isn't a faster way to encounter or catch them.
     
    There is some other ways but I think this one is better. Have you tried Trainer Shiny Value/Egg Shiny Value just by using Battle Videos and break the encryption in KeyBV?
     
    Have you ever tried the Friend Safari yet? The chances there are a ridiculous 1 in 512. Outside the Friend Safari, however, the fastest I can think of is the Masuda Method. Just be patient and you'll find a Shiny soon. ;)
     
    Like some people already stated here, it is already made somewhat easier to obtain a shiny Pokemon in Gen.6; by Chain Fishing, Masuda Method and PokeRadar (the odds are increased as well from 1/8192 to 1/4096 - without the Shiny Charm).

    And remember that shiny Pokemon are still, really rare (and that's the way how it should be imo, or else this will make them less-special to obtain).

    However, the ONLY way to make things even more "easy" than they are now, is that you will have to work really hard to complete the Pokedex by obtaining every single Pokemon out there (except obtaining event legendary Pokemon), and receive the Shiny Charm, which will increase your odds even more to find a shiny Pokemon (in the wild, 1/1365, AND by breeding using the Masuda Method, odds are 1/512, only with the Shiny Charm that is). I know it works great for me, since I have over 4 boxes of shiny Pokemon now in Pokemon X thanks to the Shiny Charm in combination with the Masuda Method (the Shiny Charm doesn't increase the odds of finding a shiny Pokemon in a Friend Safari). :)

    But, like I said this takes A LOT of your time. So I would go with Odyssey, try hunt in the Friend Safari, since the odds there are 1/512 as well :) You will get them eventually, you will see. Just have enough patience when it comes to obtaining a shiny!

    But, good luck and above all: have fun playing the game and obtaining more shinies! ;)

    Oh? I thought that the Shiny Charm does affect Friend Safari odds...that or it was different between Friend Safaris so I heard.

    But nevertheless, yeah finding shinies is really up to chance.
     
    Aaaaaaaaaand, that's why I'm trying to complete the Pokedex lol
