Summary
- Catching all Vivillon patterns in Pokemon Go is a massive feat due to their region-specific appearances.
- However, Reddit user halle42017 showcased their dedication and hard work capturing every unique Vivillon form.
- By evolving Pokemon and receiving postcards from other players, halle42017 was able to build their impressive collection.
A devout Pokemon Go player managed to collect every individual form and pattern of the Pokemon Vivillon, impressing other fans online with their dedication due to the difficulty of such a collection. Vivillon is a fairly common Pokemon in Pokemon Go, but many of its forms are tricky to find, requiring an immense time commitment and sometimes, complete luck.
Vivillon originally appeared in Pokemon X and Y on the Nintendo 3DS as the final form of the Pokemon Scatterbug, a fairly common bug type that can spawn as early as the first route in-game. Vivillon's patterns are unique depending on the climate of the region in which they were caught, which, in Pokemon Go, is determined by the real-world location and conditions in which the player finds it.
Reddit user halle42017 shared their complete Vivillon collection to the official Pokemon Go subreddit, showing off every individual color in which the Pokemon can appear, alongside the player's dedication to finding them all. Doing so would have required them to explore various real-world areas or wait for the right conditions, which is likely what caused their post to draw so much attention, as other fans wondered how they achieved it.
Pokemon Go Player's Complete Vivillon Collection Goes Viral Online
According to the user, achieving a complete Vivillon collection required over 2100 candies, the in-game resource used to evolve Pokemon in Pokemon Go, implying that they gained them by evolving them from Scatterbug and its secondary form, Spewpa. The player seemingly also earned a few of them by receiving digital postcards from Pokemon Go players in other regions, which made it easier to get candies for Vivillon in other region-exclusive forms.
Pokemon Go players can interact in a lot of ways in-game, but one of the later additions was the postcard system, which lets players send and receive digital postcards from players in other regions as gifts. Players can then pin specific postcards to their profile to earn Scatterbug candies from other regions, encouraging them to make friends with others across the world.
Pokemon players are known for their dedication to finding rare and unique Pokemon or teams to complete the games with, like one player who has built an impressive collection of shiny legendaries in Scarlet and Violet. The same can be said about this player's Vivillon collection, given that the number of candies they would need to complete it would have required them to catch dozens of Scatterbug as they play the game.
