How Do I Run at the Start of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?
Players can start to run by fully tilting the left stick in any direction right after passing the Cabo Poco sign when heading towards their neighbor’s house in the game’s introduction.
Unfortunately, there is no way to run in the first few minutes of the game while you are still in your house. However, the segment before reaching the sign is very short, lasting less than five minutes.
Now that you are running off to your Paldean adventure learn which story path you should tackle first in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet!

How Do I Walk in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet?
To walk in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, gamers simply have to slightly tilt the left stick in the direction they want. Tilting the stick further will lead to a faster pace and eventually running.
How Do I Crouch & Sneak in Scarlet & Violet?
To crouch and sneak on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, press the “B” button. Once in the crouch position, you can move at a more sneaky and slow pace by using the left stick.
To stand back up to the normal position, press the “B” button again. Returning to this position will allow walking and running once again.
