Does soft reset really work?

Question

I want a shiny Heatran so I'm soft resetting again and again but every time its a girl and that makes me afraid because the page says it has 50% chance to be boy. Did the game set the Pokémon so I'm actually seeing the same Pokémon again and again? Please help.

Don't worry, you aren't.

SR-ing changes not only the Gender of the Pokemon, but also its nature and its IVs as well.
