Vivillon is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon that has recently gained popularity in Pokémon GO. In this article, we will explore how Vivillon works in the game, its different patterns, and how to evolve it.

What is Vivillon?

Vivillon is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon that is originally from the Kalos region. It is known for its unique wings, which have different patterns depending on the region from which the Postcard originated.

How to Obtain Vivillon

To obtain Vivillon, you need to have a Vivillon Postcard. These Postcards are obtained by sending and receiving Postcards with your friends. Each Postcard represents a specific region, and when you receive a Postcard from a friend, it counts towards your Vivillon medal progress.

What is the Vivillon Medal?

The Vivillon medal is a medal that tracks your progress in catching the Pokémon, Vivillon. To earn the Vivillon medal, you need to pin a specific number of Postcards from a Vivillon pattern’s associated region. The number of required pinned Postcards rises every time you unlock a Scatterbug encounter.

How to Evolve Vivillon

Vivillon can be evolved into two different forms: Spewpa and Vivillon. To evolve Vivillon, you need to have 25 candies and a Vivillon Postcard. First, you need to evolve Scatterbug into Spewpa using 25 candies, and then you can evolve Spewpa into Vivillon using another 100 candies.
