That's a sure way to do it.
But there's the fact that you must check EVERYWHERE you look at for those really hard-to-spot shaking decoy grass patches. It's also a game of reflexes when you want to charge the radar.
Her guide is solid, however when you misstep or are distracted, it's going to end up breaking your chain anyway.

I got my second shiny from Pokeradar, a shiny Ducklett. I really wanted Spritzee but after accidentally going into a decoy patch at a chain of 30 I just settled for whatever I ran into on the next reset. I got to 40 pretty easily but it took over an hour of resetting to actually get the shiny patch to appear. The day before I got to a chain of 40 on Skiddo but ended up running out of repels while I was resetting for the shiny patch.

Finally, I got a new Shiny through the radar.
A Shiny, light blue, female Croagunk who will never find a place in my team because of its dismal HP IV and not-so-good nature reducing Atk. Fine then. She's a trophy now.

Got my spritzee last night a little past 1 AM. I hadn't realized that it was so late. Just like Ducklett it took many many resets after I reached the chain of 40 but it was worth it in the end. Unfortunately its nature and IV's are all junk so its going to be just another trophy. I probably won't evolve it because I want to save my sachet for a good nature/IV'd Spritzee. I'm going to attempt Abra next.

I'm still getting the hang of the Pokeradar chaining, but for now I prefer to stick with the Masuda method. It may take longer, but you can get good IVs (very helpful for a competitive player) and it's very simple and doesn't require any attention. Just ride back and forth, nothing difficult.
Yeah, it's a really good method but I always manage to mess it up. Oh well, I'll keep trying

Either I have very bad luck at chain 40 for a Swirlix by repeatedly using the radar to make sparkles appear, or I didn't know you could only get one Shiny per day through the radar...

I decided to do that fishing chaining with Luvdisc, knocking out normal ones with Greninja and after awhile I came across my second Hoenn shiny pokemon! It is Luvdisc of course, my first shiny from a rod was Whiscash, it is a hardy nature.
Apparently if you catch a shiny, it resets the chances of appearing another one. This means you have to defeat another 40 ones for max shiny chance.

No, I didn't catch a Shiny Swirlix at all. I had caught a Shiny Croagunk in a previous chain earlier in the day until I tried to go for a Swirlix in a new chain during the night. Despite spamming the radar at chain 40 (not 41, mind you) for nearly half an hour, no patch sparkled.

Could anyone tell me what RE means? :")

Since the user who posted that said he/she/it got a Shiny Flabebe, I assuming they said "Radar Encounter" or "Random Egg."
Somehow, I'm sticking with the latter one.

I thought it just meant Random Encounter (No chaining, MM breeding, or anything), and that they were just boasting. 
By the way, where's better to chain for Scatterbug? Route 2 or Santalune Forest?

So far to my knowledge, no. Neither does the legendary bird break it either I've heard. But and egg hatching or a Pokemon evolving apparently does break it. Best way to know if your chain is broken is if the music goes back to the route music instead of the radar theme.
RE is Random Encounter.
Oh, I see. Keep at it, then.
I find Route 2 being easier, the angle at Santalune Forest is not so good.

Ha ha, I got my own Shiny Ditto but it never carried its shininess on the target it transforms to.
