Best tips and tricks for Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds

Do the following things to make the most out of the event:

• Send and open lots of gifts: Collecting different Vivillon patterns is the focus of the event. Therefore, having in-game friends from around the world you can exchange gifts with is recommended. You can use social media channels like X, Discord, and more to find people from different parts of the globe.

• Use Lucky Eggs: This event features a significant XP bonus for spinning PokeStops. By utilizing a Lucky Egg, you can further increase the amount of experience points you receive.
• Purchase the event ticket: The event is fairly short-lived. Therefore, the extra 20 gifts you can open each day will go a long way in helping you find Shiny Scatterbug, especially if you have pinned several postcards before.
• Focus on raids outside the event: Scattered to the Winds features some of the worst wild spawns in the game. Concentrate on raiding instead. Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mega Garchomp will occupy Gyms. They are all strong picks you can use in PvP and PvE battles.
