Vivillon <\/strong>is a caterpillar-into-butterfly Pok\u00e9mon that has different forms depending on where you catch it in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a><\/em>. The key to collecting Vivillon (and its different forms) is to send and receive postcards <\/strong>with your friends.<\/p>\n

Scatterbug is the base Pok\u00e9mon, and it requires 25 candy to evolve into Spewpa, which requires 100 candy to evolve into Vivillon. Below, we\u2019ve detailed how to catch Scatterbug in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, plus Vivillon\u2019s patterns and locations.<\/p>\n

How to catch Scatterbug in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/h2>\n

To find Scatterbug, you need to pin postcards from different locations<\/strong>. Pinning three postcards<\/strong> from the same area will allow you to catch a Scatterbug that will evolve into a specific Vivillon. You can pin your own postcards and the postcards you get from friends. Having friends in different countries will help you collect more types of Vivillon, but you only need one type to fill in the Pok\u00e9dex entry for it.<\/p>\n

You can also pin the gifts you get from Mateo at the end of a completed route, which should help you get non-local gifts.<\/p>\n

To catch the Scatterbug, you\u2019ll need to look at your Vivillon medal and tap the \u201ccatch!\u201d button that appears<\/strong>. Remember to use a Pinap Berry<\/strong> to catch your Scatterbug to get more candy.<\/p>\n

You can also tell which Vivillon your Scatterbug is going to turn into by looking its information screen.<\/p>\n

Vivillon patterns and locations in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/h2>\n

Depending on where the postcard comes from, you\u2019ll get a different Scatterbug and Vivillon pattern. Niantic provides this helpful map to show which locations give which patterns. You can access this map yourself via tapping the Vivillon medal on your player info screen or you can take a look below.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little hard to tell what forms coincide where, as there\u2019s no strict borders shown in the map above. Here are the regions each form can be found in, courtesy of Pok\u00e9mon Go Hub<\/a>:<\/p>\n
