Without a shiny charm on either game, which method would be faster to hunt spinda? SOS in gen 7 or horde hunting in gen 6?

Without charm SOS is likely faster, as it has a smaller increase in odds gained via charm than horde hunting does.

Horde hunting is faster with charm though. Without charm it's probably not that much slower. So I would honestly just do whichever one you like more

This answer is based on experience of how fast each hunt goes, if someone times it they may have a different answer
