Shiny starter question?

Question

You know how someone gives you a starter and when you touch a pokeball, the Pokemon's sprite will appear? Well, I want to hunt for shinies and I want to know if the sprite I was talking about will be shiny if the Pokemon is shiny. By the way, how to soft reset to get shinies?

Answer 1

No as it's programmed to be its usual colours.
Though you could pick it and have a very slim chance it actually is a shiny.
