Bring the starter and a compatible Pokemon in a Picnic
2 Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) - Waiting for Eggs
Wait for a couple of moments.

Check the basket near the table for Eggs.

The above method gives you the base chance of obtaining a shiny egg, which is 1/4096. To further increase your chances of getting a shiny starter, breed it with a traded foreign Ditto. This method is called the Masuda Method, and it increases your shiny odds to 1/683.

You can further increase your shiny chance if you have the Shiny Charm, which is given as a reward for completing the Pokedex.
