One of the best Pokémon Presents announcements for fans of Pokémon collecting was the one for Vivillon’s forms and its compatibility with Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. This will not only make it possible to obtain almost all forms of this elusive Pokémon, but also its shiny form, which has never been easier to obtain.
If you are on your hunt for these Pokémon and their shiny forms, you should first know that you need to play Pokémon GO or have someone who can help you connect your mobile device to your Nintendo Switch.
We say this because first it is necessary that in Pokémon GO the player has saved postcards in his postcard album. These items can be saved when the player receives a gift from anywhere in the world. By doing this, the player in Pokémon GO, as you can see in this note, can meet Scatterbugs that can evolve into the different Vivillon patterns depending on the region their postcard comes from (depending on the region the friend sent the gift from). ). It is important to make it clear that the gifts are not saved automatically, but before opening it, the player must save them by pressing the pin button, then they can open them; otherwise, you will just open the gift and the postcard will be lost.

How to connect Pokémon GO with Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
Until before Pokémon Presents, the Vivillon in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet had only the Fancy Pattern, regardless of the player’s region. In previous games in the series this changed depending on the region in which the titles were played.
However, with the most recent update, it is already possible to find almost all Vivillon patterns in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, but it will be necessary to connect Pokémon GO to Nintendo Switch. But the process is simple. The player only has to go to the menu and then to Mystery Gift to choose the Connect to Pokémon GO option. At the same time, but in Pokémon GO, the player must go to the settings menu and choose Connected Devices and Services and then Connect to Nintendo Switch. The first time, the console will be paired with the Pokémon GO account and subsequent times it will only be necessary to make the connection. It is possible to modify this and pair with other accounts multiple times.
Then the player will have to look in their postcard book for one that they want to send to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. The process will be done simultaneously, and the Pokémon GO player will receive the Coin Bag (a kind of incense that will allow Gimmighoul in its Roaming Form version to appear in the title and can be caught), while the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet player You will receive various items, and most importantly, you will modify the Vivillons that will appear in your game in the next 24 hours depending on the region of the postcard.
In case you missed it: new Pokémon GO creature can only be obtained in Mexico.
How to get Vivillon shiny in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
That being said, you should only go to regions where Vivillon normally spawns in the game, like North Province (Area Three). Once there, the player will find species with a different pattern than usual.
Thus, they will only have to catch as many as the player wants. And the best of all is that Vivillon is not shiny-locked, so it is possible to get all forms in its shiny version. It is only necessary to use the method of sandwiches or sandwiches to make Pokémon from the prepared sandwich appear more frequently. In the case of Vivillon, they can be Flying or Bug-type sandwiches, which will allow more creatures of these types to appear.
The only thing left is to get lucky and make these Pokémon appear and disappear so that in one of those spawns Vivillon shiny or shiny appears.
It is important to mention that these trapped Vivillon will not be able to lay Eggs that hatch Scatterbug that can evolve into Vivillon with the postcard pattern, but will evolve with the usual wing pattern (Fancy).
We remind you that after 24 hours of sending the postcard, the Vivillon pattern that appears in the game will return to the usual one (Fancy), so it will be necessary to send a new postcard. That said, we recommend that you take advantage of the time when the postcard takes effect. No more than 1 postcard can be sent per day.
If this method is repeated with all versions of Vivillon, it will be possible to achieve all 18 Vivillon regional patterns and even its shiny variant.
How to get postcards from different parts of the world in Pokémon GO?
Although the task is much easier than before, it does not mean that it will be hunky-dory, because to get all the patterns it will be necessary to make friends all over the world.
To receive a gift it is necessary to have a friend and to receive gifts from other parts of the world it is necessary to have friends in those regions.
The task is complicated if you want to get postcards from regions other than yours or from your friends. But luckily there are online platforms that allow you to find players from other parts of the world.
As we mentioned, you can go to official or unofficial accounts of the game on Twitter, like the one in japan, in which there are a lot of players who want to make friends. You can try reddit too or Facebook groups.
Of course, take into account that there will be postcards from regions that are very difficult to get, such as Sandstorm (Middle East) or Ocean (some islands, or regions surrounded by water, such as Hawaii), so finding a friend in those regions is very complicated because there are few and there are too many players who want them as friends. However, we invite you to keep an eye on these social platforms to find a friend and, if you succeed, try to get as many postcards from them as possible and, above all, save them and not waste them.
You can also try joining with people online to activate several Vivillon patterns online, since for each one it will be possible to enable a different pattern, according to its postcard, so in this way up to 4 different types could be invoked.
Unfortunately, only the 20th pattern would be missing, that of the Poké Ball, which was part of a special distribution event to commemorate the opening of a Pokémon store years ago. There hasn’t been a new way to get it since then.
So far, it is not possible to get Vivillon shiny in Pokémon GO, let alone send creatures from this game to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, since there is no connection to Pokémon HOME yet, but there will be very soon.
