5 Shiny Pokemon to encounter in Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds

1) Shiny Scatterbug (Evolves into Vivillon)

The Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds event offers trainers the opportunity to encounter Shiny Scatterbug and its evolutions for the first time. Notably, Shiny Spewpa and Shiny Vivillon are its evolution lines. This means trainers must evolve their Shiny Scatterbug into Shiny Spewpa using 25 Candy and then into Shiny Vivillon using 100 Candy.

Shiny Vivillon has 18 different wing patterns in the game. Each pattern form belongs to a specific region, meaning trainers must get their hands on a particular region-based Scatterbug to get the desired form of Shiny Vivillon through the evolution process.

During Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds, encounters with Shiny Scatterbug can be received by pinning Postcards. These are unique items that can be received from opening Gifts. For example, if one of your in-game friends sends you a Gift from South Africa, you and you get a Shiny Scatterbug encounter, it will eventually evolve into an Archipelago wing pattern Shiny Vivillon.

The Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds event allows trainers to open up to 40 Gifts daily throughout its run. Additionally, if they have brought a ticket for Eggs-pedition Access: February, they can open up to 60 Gifts per day.

Here is a list of each wing pattern of Shiny Vivillon:

• Archipelago

• Continental
• Elegant
• Garden
• High Plains
• Icy Snow
• Jungle
• Marine
• Meadow
• Modern
• Monsoon
• Ocean
• Polar
• River
• Sandstorm
• Savanna
• Sun
• Tundra

2) Shiny Pidgey

Shiny Pidgey is a dual Normal- and Flying-type Pocket Monster from the Kanto region. It will be featured as a wild encounter in Pokemon GO Scattered to the Windsm, so there will be an increased chance of encountering one.

Trainers must strategically hunt for Shiny Pidgey to improve the possibility of finding it. The planned way to do that would be to look for it in areas with Partly Cloudy and Windy weather in-game. Moreover, since it will be available in the wild, Lure Module and Incense can also be activated for help.

3) Shiny Starly

Pokemon GO players may get their hands on a wild Shiny Starly by searching for it in places that experience Partly Cloudy and Windy weather. Starly, the Starling Pokemon, receives a boost to its encounter rate in these two different weather conditions. Hence, trainers might be able to find a Shiny one by tapping on each Starly encounter they come across in the wild.

As said earlier, trainers can improve their find rate of a wild Pokemon in Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds by using Lure Module and Incense. These two separate items can attract Startly and potentially its Shiny variation.

4) Shiny Spearow

Finding a Shiny Spearow in the Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds event requires you to come across as many Spearow as you can. The best way to do this would be to walk around in the wild for longer hours. Trainers can also use Incense during the walking period to improve their odds of finding this Pokemon.

Moreover, if trainers are walking in the city, they should look for busy locations where multiple (clustered) Pokestops are stationed in one place. Luckily, if the mentioned Pokestops are found in Partly Cloudy and Windy weather, they may find a Shiny Spearow, as its regular variant can spawn there frequently.

5) Shiny Wurmple

Pokemon GO Scattered to the Winds features limited Pocket Monsters as wild encounters, and Shiny Wurmple is one among them. It will be a difficult task to come across this rare find. However, trainers can always count on the shiny hunting strategy, which involves properly using the lure items, depending on the effect of the Weather Boost, and trading with friends.

By telling close friends, who players can meet personally, they can start their wild adventure to find Shiny Wurmple in the overworld. Friends can go to places with Rainy weather conditions to catch Wurmple. The more Wurmple one captures, the more they close the gap of encountering its shiny variant.

It would be best to activate a Lure Module and Incense at locations that have multiple PokeStops. This way, one may not only find a Shiny Wurmple but also come across other Bug-type creatures.
