The Other Starters are available in the Post-Game too

Consequently, you can catch the other two starter Pokemon in these Space-Time Distortions as well, meaning that you no longer have to trade Pokemon in order to complete the starters unlike in previous games. Starters from the Space-Time Distortions also have a chance to be shiny!
