How to get all 3 starters in Pokemon Scarlet

Actually, ya just need one good friend with Pokemon Violet (or Scarlet if you're playing Violet). Start your game, pick a starter, trade it to them, and then restart your game and pick a different starter. Do this until you've collected all three, then have your friend trade them back to you. Boom, you've got all starters without needing a big trading network!

Getting all 3 starters in Pokemon Scarlet is super cool, but it requires a bit of networking! You can't catch them in the wild like other Pokémon. The easiest way is to trade with friends who picked the other starters in either Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet. If you start with Fuecoco, find pals who picked Sprigatito and Quaxly in their games to trade with.

I actually managed to get all 3 starters in Pokemon Scarlet by trading with online friends I met in a Pokemon community. It was pretty straightforward - I posted what I was looking for, and in less than a day, I had trades lined up for Sprigatito and Quaxly. Online communities are super helpful for this!
