Catch New Shiny Pokemon at Pokemon Go's Scattered to the Winds Event

As February rolls in with its chilly embrace, the warmth of spring is not far off. But if you're looking for something to entice you outdoors amidst the cold, Pokémon Go's latest event, Scattered to the Wind, might just be the ticket.

What does this event bring to the table? For starters, you can enjoy double XP for spinning a PokéStop and a whopping five times XP for your first spin of the day. Additionally, you'll be able to open up to 40 Gifts daily, or even 60 if you have the Eggs-pedition Access: February ticket. And if you're a fan of shiny Pokémon, you're in luck—there's an increased chance to encounter Shiny Pidgey.

But the excitement doesn't stop there! By pinning postcards from players around the globe, you'll boost your chances of encountering the new Shiny versions of Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon. Alongside these, the event introduces new Field Research Task rewards, Paid Timed Research, and more!

Pokémon Go has always been about encouraging players to explore the real world, a core concept of augmented reality. While new Pokémon are always a delight, it's intriguing that the focus of postcard collecting leans towards international players, many of whom you might only know through their postcards.

Make sure to mark your calendar for this event, as it will only be available from February 18th to the 20th. It's a short window, so dive in quickly to make the most of it while the event is fresh.
