Pokemon Go\'s upcoming Scattered to the Winds event lets you nab new Shiny Pokemon

Despite the lingering chill of February, Pokémon GO is heating things up with its exciting new event, "Scattered to the Wind"! This event offers a flurry of new rewards, research tasks, and boosted encounter rates.

Prepare for a double XP boost on PokéStop spins, and a whopping 5x XP bonus for your very first spin each day! Expand your gifting capabilities with the ability to open up to 40 gifts daily (or 60 with the Eggs-pedition Access: February ticket). And get ready for increased Shiny encounter rates for Pidgey!

But the excitement doesn't stop there! By pinning postcards from fellow Trainers around the globe, you'll dramatically increase your chances of encountering Shiny Scatterbug, Shiny Petilil, and Shiny Vivillon. Plus, there are brand-new Field Research Task rewards and a paid Timed Research event to participate in!

Embracing the Outdoors

Pokémon GO consistently encourages exploration with enticing rewards—a key element of its augmented reality gameplay. While new Pokémon are always a welcome addition, the event's emphasis on international postcard collecting might feel a bit unusual for some, as it focuses on interactions with unknown players.

Don't miss out on this limited-time event, running from February 18th to 20th! Maximize your chances of catching these rare Shiny Pokémon before the event concludes.
