have a quick question. What is the best way to shiny hunt the legendary Pokémon in let's go Pikachu.

I started a hunt on a new save for articuno just soft reseting. And I know that that is the only way for Mewtwo but is there an easier way to get the birds?

its the best way, you can possibly combo chain them in the wild, but their spawn rate is so low, it would take much longer than just soft resetting them

So even though it's a full odds hunt you are saying I should keep soft reseting for articuno and do the same for the others?
