Vivillon is a unique Pokemon that has different patterns on its wings depending on the region it lives in. In Pokemon Go, Vivillon was introduced in December 2022, along with a new feature called Postcards.
By pinning Postcards from different regions, you can encounter and collect Scatterbug, the pre-evolution of Vivillon, and evolve it into various patterns of Vivillon. In this article, we’ll show you how to use the Pokemon Go Vivillon map, how to pin Postcards, and how to evolve Scatterbug into Vivillon.
What is Vivillon and Why Does It Have Different Patterns?
Vivillon is a Bug and Flying-type Pokemon that is known as the Scale Pokemon. It is the final evolution of Scatterbug, which evolved from Spewpa. Vivillon has a total of 18 different patterns on its wings, each representing a different region of the world.
The patterns are influenced by the climate and geography of the region, and they also affect Vivillon’s behaviour and abilities.
Vivillon’s patterns are not just for decoration. They also help Vivillon communicate with other Pokemon and humans, as well as adapt to its environment.
For example, some patterns help Vivillon camouflage itself from predators, while others help it attract mates or pollinate flowers. Vivillon can also use its scales to release various types of powders that can affect the weather, the emotions, or the status of its opponents.
How to Use the Pokemon Go Vivillon Map?
The Pokemon Go Vivillon map is a tool that helps you find out which regions have which patterns of Vivillon. You can access the map by tapping on your profile icon, scrolling down to the Medals section, and selecting the Vivillon Collector medal.
The medal shows you how many patterns of Vivillon you have collected, and how many more you need to complete the collection. You can also tap on the magnifying glass icon next to the map to see the details of each region and pattern.
The map is divided into 18 regions, each corresponding to a pattern of Vivillon. The regions are colour-coded according to the pattern, and they also have a number that indicates how many Postcards you need to pin from that region to encounter a Scatterbug.
The regions are not based on exact geographical boundaries, but rather on approximate areas that share similar climates and cultures. Some regions may overlap with each other, so you may need to check the details of each Postcard to see which region it belongs to.
How to Pin Postcards and Encounter Scatterbug?
Postcards are a new feature that allows you to receive and send pictures of PokeStops and Gyms from different regions. You can receive Postcards from your friends when they open Gifts from you, or from PokeStops and Gyms when you spin them. You can also send Postcards to your friends when you send them Gifts, or when you invite them to raids or battles.
To pin a Postcard, you need to tap on it and select the pin icon. You can pin up to 10 Postcards per day, and you can see how many you have pinned on the Vivillon Collector medal. Pinning Postcards from the same region will increase your progress on the sub-medal for that region, and when you reach a certain number, you will unlock an encounter with a Scatterbug from that region.
The number of Postcards you need to pin varies depending on the region and the pattern, but it usually ranges from 3 to 15. Once you unlock an encounter with a Scatterbug, you can tap on the map icon on the Vivillon Collector medal to see the Scatterbug on the map.
You can then catch it like any other wild Pokemon, and check its details to see which pattern of Vivillon it will evolve into. You can also run away from the encounter and catch it later, as it will stay on the map until you catch it or until the end of the day.
How to Evolve Scatterbug into Vivillon?
To evolve Scatterbug into Vivillon, you need to use Scatterbug Candy, which you can obtain by catching, transferring, or walking with Scatterbug. You need 25 Scatterbug Candy to evolve Scatterbug into Spewpa, and 100 Scatterbug Candy to evolve Spewpa into Vivillon.
The pattern of Vivillon will be determined by the region of the Scatterbug, and it will not change after evolution.
You can check the pattern of Vivillon by looking at the details of Scatterbug or Spewpa, or by using the Pokemon Go Vivillon map.
You can also compare your Vivillon collection with your friends, and see who has the most patterns or the rarest ones. You can also trade Vivillon with other players, but be aware that the trade cost may vary depending on the rarity of the pattern.
