Getting a shiny starter in Pokemon Violet (and Scarlet) involves what's affectionately known as 'shiny hunting.' Start by choosing your starter Pokémon at the beginning. If it's not shiny, you're in for the long haul - reset your game and try again. This process is called 'soft resetting.' It's time-consuming but definitely worth it when that shiny pops up! Patience is key here, so make sure you're ready for a potentially long grind.

Soft reset? More like hard pass. Shiny starters are overrated. Just enjoy the game!

Honestly, just trade for one. It's WAY faster than trying to reset your game a million times. Find a buddy who's as dedicated as you are to catching them all, and swap shinies.
