Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon Arrive in Pokémon GO
Learn how to get Vivillon sporting a variety of different wing patterns by pinning Postcards from your friends.
Connect with friends from about the world to catch a variety of beautiful Pokémon patterns—Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon make their Pokémon GO debuts! Vivillon are known for the many different patterns that can be found on their wings, and Trainers can now discover Vivillon with these patterns by pinning Postcards from different regions of the world. Trainers can either pin Postcards they receive from friends or the Postcards they collect from spinning PokéStops or Gyms.
By pinning Postcards from eligible regions, you unlock the Vivillon Collector medal and add progress to sub-medals associated with the Postcard’s region of origin. As you progress on these sub-medals, you’ll earn encounters with Scatterbug. These Scatterbug will evolve into Vivillon with different patterns depending on the region the Postcards came from. You’ll need 25 Scatterbug Candy to evolve Scatterbug into Spewpa and 100 Scatterbug Candy to evolve Spewpa into Vivillon.
Vivillon’s patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat, and 18 patterns have been discovered in Pokémon GO so far. The full list of habitats is below, and you can check the Vivillon Map via the Pokédex or the Vivillon Collector medal page to see where different Vivillon patterns can be found.

Trainers,
We’re excited to announce that Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon are making their Pokémon GO debuts! Trainers worldwide will now be able to collect Scatterbug’s whole Evolutionary line!
Vivillon (Vi-vi-yon), the Scale Pokémon, is known for its many different patterns. Trainers can collect patterned Vivillon from all over the world by pinning Postcards received from Trainers, PokéStops, or Gyms in different regions. Pinning Postcards from eligible regions unlocks the Vivillon Collector medal and adds progress to sub-medals associated with the Postcard’s region of origin. Progressing on sub-medals leads to encounters with Scatterbug. Scatterbug from different regions evolve into Vivillon with different patterns! Will you be able to discover and catch Vivillon with every pattern?
Vivillon couldn’t have been discovered at a better time! During this season of giving, Trainers can reconnect with friends and family by sending them a thoughtful Gift through Pokémon GO —and then see how many patterns of Vivillon that Scatterbug can evolve into!

Additional details
To help Trainers keep track of their Vivillon pattern collection, we’re adding a new medal: the Vivillon Collector medal! When a Trainer pins a Postcard, they will unlock this new medal and see a short explanation of how to encounter Scatterbug.
Trainers will also be able to collect sub-medals within the Vivillon Collector medal by pinning Postcards. Trainers can pin both their own Postcards* and Postcards they receive from friends. These sub-medals are associated with the different Vivillon pattern regions. Collect different sub-medals to encounter Scatterbug from around the world!
*You can pin up to three of your own Postcards per day to make progress towards the medal.
The first sub-medal requires collecting three Postcards from a region associated with the Vivillon patterns. After completing a sub-medal, Trainers can continue to make progress toward that sub-medal to earn additional encounters with Scatterbug. The number of Postcards required to raise the sub-medal rank increases each rank.
