Scatterbug, Spewpa, and Vivillon have made their debut in Pokémon GO. For Vivillon, Niantic Labs has introduced a new event to coincide with its introduction into Pokémon GO. To get an encounter with a Scatterbug players have to complete the unique task of collecting and pinning Postcards received from different regions around the globe.

There are 18 variations of Vivillon that players can catch. Each variation represents a different region of the world. Players can get the specific Vivillon by receiving multiple postcards from the specific region to earn sub medals.

Postcards are sent by friends so players have posted their Pokémon GO friend codes online so people can help each other get all 18 Vivillon patterns. Thanks to Pokémon GO account like Leek Duck people have become Pokémon GO pen pals. On Leek Duck's site and other online sources, players can cross reference maps of the Vivillon patterns' location and find a corresponding friend to start giving postcards to.

If you do not know where to begin, Pokémon GO tweeted out a rough map of the patterns to help get players started. Remember that in order to evolve Scatterbug into Vivillon you first need 25 Scatterbug candies to evolve it into a Spewpa. Spewpa will need 100 candies to then evolve it into a Vivillon.

As one can imagine this is can be a time-consuming challenge but an active community like Pokémon GO's using the right tools and some friendly long-distance socializing should help players catch all 18 Vivillon.
