Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players are seeking a way to obtain all Scatterbugs in order to unlock the various Vivillon patterns available in their game. Here is a guide on how to obtain them all.
In 2022, Pokemon Go introduced players to Scatterbug, a Gen 6 Pokemon, and also introduced new features related to its final evolution, Vivillon. Later on, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet incorporated connectivity features that allowed players to expand their collection of Vivillon and obtain nearly every possible pattern.
To complete your collection of Vivillon in Pokemon Go and Scarlet & Violet, follow these steps and refer to the complete list of patterns and their corresponding real-world locations.
How to Obtain Different Vivillon Patterns in Pokemon Go
Collecting all the different Vivillon patterns in Pokemon Go is a challenging feat, but we will guide you through the necessary steps to complete your collection.
- Gather all the postcards you have received from gifts, PokeStops, or gyms.
- Pin them to your Postcard Book, which can be accessed through your in-game profile.
- That will unlock the Vivillon Collector medal and add progress to sub-medals associated with the Postcard’s region of origin
- By tapping the Vivillon Collector Medal on your profile page, you can monitor your progress in collecting.
- After pinning three postcards from the same region, a Scatterbug will appear.
- In order to evolve Scatterbug into Spewpa, you will require 25 Candy. Additionally, 100 Candy is needed to evolve Spewpa into Vivillon.
Upon completing a sub-medal, Trainers may continue their efforts to advance the medal and receive extra encounters with Scatterbug. The amount of Postcards needed to increase the rank of the sub-medal will progressively increase with each rank.
We previously noted that this collection is not a simple undertaking, therefore we suggest selecting Scatterbug as your Buddy to expedite earning Scatterbug Candy.
Obtaining one pattern from their respective regions is the norm for most players, therefore collecting Postcards from friends living in various parts of the globe is crucial in achieving the Vivillon Collection Medal.
Vivillon Patterns in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet now have the ability to link their games to Pokemon Home and obtain their complete Vivillon collection. This can be achieved by transferring their Vivillon from Pokemon Go to Home, and then following our guide to transfer them to Scarlet and Violet. It is also possible to send Scatterbug from Go to Home and train and evolve it directly in Scarlet and Violet.
In addition, players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have the option to link their Pokemon Go account with their Nintendo Switch in order to obtain new Vivillon patterns. After syncing both games, you will be able to encounter a variety of Vivillon patterns in their regular spawning locations by following these instructions:
- Select your profile in the Pokemon Go app.
- Click on the option labeled ‘Postcard Book’.
- Choose a postcard from the options provided, making sure that you have at least one pinned postcard.
- Press the three-bar icon and choose the option ‘Send to Nintendo Switch’.
- Press ‘Send,’ followed by ‘Yes,’ and finally ‘Ok’.
- The present will automatically reveal itself in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
Once you have completed this action, Paldea will begin to see an influx of new Vivillon in the same areas where they normally appear. The patterns of these Vivillon will be determined by the location data on the postcards.
Pokemon Go players can check this map through the Vivillon Collection medal in their profile.
