Vivillon, Scatterbug, and Spewpa were made available inPokemon GOduring the Season of Mythical Wishes, and they are here to stay. Witheighteen types of Vivillonto get, the process of collecting each form can seem daunting.

How To Get Scatterbug and Spewpa In Pokemon GO
The first step to getting every Vivillon Pattern inPokemon GOis to catch its pre-evolution, Scatterbug.Neither Scatterbug nor Spewpacan be caught in the wild, but with a process unique to this evolution line. This process will be explained in more detail later, as it is crucial to get the Scatterbug that matches the type of Vivillon wanted.
What is important to know, is that Scatterbug requires25 Vivillon Candiesto evolve into Spewpa, and Spewpa requires100 Vivillon Candiesto evolve into Vivillon. Doing some quick math, that looks like 2250 total Vivillon Candy for one of each Vivillon pattern. It is definitely only a challenge for diehard Vivillon fans.

How To Get Every Vivillon Pattern In Pokemon GO
Vivillon is tied to the gift and postcard mechanic. Getting each Vivillon pattern is going to take a lot of time, work, and friends. Luckily, there are ways built into the game that help Trainers keep track of everything they need. Some of the regions are quite confusing, as they have some overlap. There are two ways for a player to find out which region they are in.
The easiest way is to go to the bag, pin an unsent gift, and see whichVivillon Collection Medal updates. The second way is also relatively simple. Above all the Vivillon Collection Medals is a magnifying glass, and clicking on it brings up a map of Earth with each pattern mapped onto each Region.

Pinning Postcards
to get a Scatterbug tied to a specific region,the player has to pin three postcardsfrom that region. Once three postcards are pinned, the game triggers a Scatterbug encounter (which can be banked in order to maximize candy drops). It is important to pin each giftbefore opening it, as it can not be pinned afterward.
In total, the player will need to pin fifty-four postcards in order to collect each Vivillon pattern. One gift can be sent per day, but twenty can be opened in a day, and they can be stacked for opening the following day. Each trainer can alsohave up to four hundred friends, so collecting the gifts should not be a problem.
Vivillon Collection Medals
to help the trainer track their progress, there are Vivillon Collection Medals for each region.Once a postcard is pinned, the Vivillon Collection Medal for the region the postcard is from will update, so trainers can keep track of how many postcards are needed to collect any specific Vivillon Pattern inPokemon GO.
