(Picture: Nintendo\/The Pokemon Company)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is a <strong>1 in 4096 chance<\/strong> to find a shiny Pokemon. Some players will never find a shiny Pokemon during a normal playthrough of the game. So to find a shiny starter, players will sit there and soft reset their game repeatedly to find shiny Pokemon. Some players would sit there for weeks without even starting the game to find a shiny starter Pokemon.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent a situation like this from happening, some static encounters are shiny-locked. That means no matter how many times a player soft resets their game,<strong> they will never encounter a shiny Pokemon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Are The Starters In Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Shiny Locked?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/nZ7Ys_Zloiks3JL69HxEin7Rml7vAfzAsuGgQFAEJcM\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9wb2tlbW9uX3N2X3NoaW55X2xvY2svcG9rZW1vbl9zdl9zaGlueV9sb2NrXzMuanBn\" alt=\"Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Starter Shiny Lock\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Players should be aware that soft resetting to get a shiny starter in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet would not work.
