Cinderace is kicking up the heat in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It is the second 7-Star Tera Raid event after Charizard. Fans of the Gen 8 Fire-type starter Pokémon will want to get their hands on this bunny, especially its shiny form. This may leave you wondering if you can get a shiny Cinderace from the Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
The answer is no—you cannot get a shiny Cinderace from the Tera Raid event in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The Cinderace in the Tera Raid event is shiny-locked and will not be shiny. However, you can get a shiny Cinderace through breeding.

How to get a shiny Scorbunny in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
To get a shiny Scorbunny and Cinderace in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you will need to breed Cinderace. You will have low odds of receiving a shiny Scorbunny, but once you do, you can evolve it to get a shiny Cinderace. We recommend getting the shiny charm and using the Masuda Method to increase the odds of getting a shiny Scorbunny through breeding.
If breeding the Cinderace you received from the 7-Star Tera Raid, it will not have the Fighting Tera type or the Mightiest Mark. It will also not have the same nature unless you give it the Everstone-held item when breeding, so be sure to prepare before breeding your shiny Scorbunny in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
