Yup, you can get a shiny starter but remember it's like finding a needle in a haystack. So, be ready to restart...a lot!

Yes, you absolutely can get a shiny starter in Pokemon Scarlet (& Violet)! It might take a lot of patience and possibly hundreds of restarts because the odds are pretty slim, but it's totally doable. Shiny hunters use the 'soft reset' method where you save the game right before choosing your starter and keep restarting until you get that shiny sparkle. It's a test of patience, but seeing your shiny starter pop up is totally worth it. Good luck!

Honestly, yes you can, but ask yourself if it's worth the grind. Just catch shinies later in the game. Way easier.
