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

by Charlotte Mar 18,2025

February may still have a chill in the air, but 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, making it the perfect way to chase away the winter blues and welcome the promise of spring.

Get ready for double XP on PokéStop spins, and a whopping 5x XP bonus for your very first spin each day! You can also open up to 40 Gifts daily (or 60 with the Eggs-pedition Access: February ticket). And for a limited time, you'll have an increased chance to encounter a Shiny Pidgey.

But the fun doesn't stop there! By collecting postcards from Pokémon Go players around the globe, you'll significantly boost your chances of encountering Shiny Scatterbug, Shiny Pawniard, and Shiny Vivillon. Plus, there are brand new Field Research Task rewards and a paid Timed Research event to participate in!

Out of your shell

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 focus on international postcard collection might feel a bit unusual for some, given the limited personal connection with many of the contributing players. Regardless, this limited-time event runs from February 18th to 20th, so don't miss out on the chance to catch these shiny Pokémon and claim the rewards!
