February might be frosty, but Pokémon Go is heating things up with its new Scattered to the Wind event! This exciting event offers boosted rewards, research tasks, and increased shiny encounter rates.
Key highlights include:
- Double XP: Earn 2x XP for spinning PokéStops, and a whopping 5x XP for your first spin of the day!
- Gift Overload: Open up to 40 gifts daily (or 60 with the Eggs-pedition Access: February ticket).
- Shiny Encounters: Enjoy heightened chances of encountering shiny Pidgey, and significantly increased odds for shiny Scatterbug, Petilil, and Vivillon. This boosted shiny rate is linked to receiving postcards from around the globe.
- Research Bonanza: New Field Research tasks and a paid Timed Research event await!

A Global Focus
Pokémon Go's events often encourage exploration, a key element of augmented reality gaming. While the addition of new Pokémon is always appreciated, the emphasis on international postcards adds an interesting twist, connecting players worldwide through shared in-game experiences. It's a unique way to foster a sense of community.
Don't miss out! The Scattered to the Wind event runs from February 18th to 20th, so jump in and take advantage of these limited-time bonuses. And for an extra edge, check out our list of active Pokémon Go promo codes!
