Is there a way to get another starter without trading? (Sun/Moon)?

Question

I remember in X/Y you could get one of the other Gen 6 starters after beating the Pokemon League. Is there a similar way to get another Gen 7 starter in S/M?

The answer below is correct, but you can obtain some starter Pokemon from other regions (namely, Johto) using the QR scan function in the game. Details: http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/qrscanner.shtml

Answer 1

Nope! The only gift Pokemon you can receive in the game are your starter Pokemon, Eevee, Porygon and Type: Null.

Hope I helped. :)

yup. you can only get starters via trade or QR code on their day. or you could go down a couple bars and cheat. I only do that when I'm tight on money, or I just don't feel like looking through the GTS for hours when I could be doing something better with my time! ugh, so anyway, thats my two cents worth.
