How can players get their hands on Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon in Pokemon GO?

In Pokemon GO, encountering Scatterbug, Spewpa and Vivillon is interlinked with the mechanics of sharing Gifts among trainers and the Postcard book. Trainers will need to pin the Postcards that they receive through Gifts from friends across the world in order to get a chance at encountering Scatterbug in-game.

Vivillon is currently available in 18 different patterns that are dependent on the region the Scatterbug is from and the climate of their habitat. Postcards from different regions will lead to encounters with a Scatterbug that will evolve into a Vivillon sporting that region's pattern. A map has been shared by Niantic detailing the same. The available patterns are as follows:

• Archipelago
• Continental
• Elegant
• Garden
• High Plains
• Icy Snow
• Jungle
• Marine
• Meadow
• Modern
• Monsoon
• Ocean
• Polar
• River
• Sandstorm
• Savanna
• Sun
• Tundra

The first instance of pinning a Postcard in Pokemon GO will provide players with the Vivillon Collector medal page, which they can access through the general medal section by scrolling down the avatar page. The Vivillon Collector medal page contains further sub-medals for the various regions and patterns available.

The first time Pokemon GO players complete pinning three Postcards from a specific region, they will get the opportunity to encounter a Scatterbug from that region. Once they have caught the critter, they will be able to see the pattern that the Pokemon will evolve into on the Pocket Monster's 'Evolve' tab.

Furthermore, players can pin three of their own Postcards per day to complete their own region's sub-medal. Upon completing a tier, players will notice the sub-medal showing the 'catch' option. For additional encounters for each sub-medal, the counter is as follows:

• Nine pinned Postcards from the same region for the second encounter with a Scatterbug.
• 15 pinned Postcards from the same region for the third encounter with a Scatterbug.
• 15 pinned Postcards from the same region for every additional encounter with a Scatterbug.

Trainers can evolve Scatterbug to Spewpa by utilizing 25 Scatterbug Candy and then later evolve it to Vivillon by using 100 Scatterbug Candy. Although we're only halfway through the month, December 2022 is turning out to be a gala time for Pokemon GO players, and there's still a lot left before the year ends.
