Is it possible for a rivals starter Pokemon to be female?

They always seem to be male.

Most rival’s starter Pokemon will always be Male, with the exception of Shauna in X & Y.Their genders are hard-coded in the game, and are not based on chance.

Take a look atBlue from FRLG.Every single Pokemon on his team when he is Pokemon League Champion is male. No exceptions. This is because the gender of a Trainer’s Pokemon is already hard-coded in the game.

All starter Pokémon in the core series besides Pikachu have a gender ratio of seven males to one female.

It doesn’t really say if it is always male or not anywhere I looked. Maybe it is the same chance as you getting a female starter Pokemon(12.5%)

Yes, there is always a chance for it to be female, but most of the time they will be male due to their sex % rate being higher male than female

1 Thing I would like to add is that in DP if you choose the male guy her Piplup gender changes like stated [here][1] and I don´t know if Lyra/Ethan is considered an Rival but I heard somewhere that you could hack the game and battle them ( Like Proffesor. Oak in the Green Version ) and the Azurill / Marill would also change gender in HG/SS. And the gender is reflected by the Character Gender I think as the female trainers usually got Female Starters and the male got male starters.And most of the starter genders are usually 75% male 25% female.This was just something to add[1]:http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/946308-pokemon-platinum-version/49144121
