The excitement among players intensifies with the latest release of Shiny Scatterbug, Shiny Spewpa, and Shiny Vivillon during the “Scattered to the Winds”event in Pokemon GO. This event introduces 18 distinct Scatterbug species that players can find across various regions on the map. Participating in such events significantly boosts the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Scatterbug.
The quest to find a Shiny Scatterbug begins on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at 10 AM Local Time. Unlike typical wild encounters or rewards from Raids and Research tasks, catching Scatterbug requires players to pin postcards. While two special Vivillon patterns (Fancy and Poke Ball) are not available for capture, various patterns—such as Archipelago, Continental, Elegant, and Garden—are yours for the collecting. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to obtain Shiny Scatterbug and its evolutionary line.
