How to Get All Three Starters in Pokemon Violet
Best answer
TimeTravelerTerry
So you wanna catch 'em all, huh? Well, in Pokemon Violet, to snag all three starters without trading, you gotta be a bit of a time traveler. First off, pick your favorite starter. Then, play until you get access to the 'Poke Portal' feature. Here's where it gets fun. Trade your starter with a friend who picked a different one, then have them trade it back to ya. No friends into Pokemon? No problem. Use the Surprise Trade feature; though it's a bit of a gamble. Last resort, you can create a second profile on your Switch, start a new game, pick a different starter, and trade it to your main profile. Just remember, you'll need that Nintendo Online subscription to trade online.

Why bother? Just pick the best one and move on. The real champs know it's about strategy, not collecting.
