Best ways to get Shiny Scatterbug in Pokémon Go
Farm away.


Shiny Scatterbug has been added to Pokémon Go years after its debut, forcing trainers to search for friends across the globe for a chance at finding one due to its unusual encounter.
When opening gifts from friends, you can pin their postcards, and after pinning a set amount of postcards, you encounter a random Scatterbug on the Medals menu. It requires three postcards to get your first encounter from a specific region, nine for a second encounter, and 15 pins for all future encounters.
