This holds true with the Scale Pok\u00e9mon Vivillon, though players are now most interested in how to get two specific variants\u2014the Fancy and Pok\u00e9 Ball Patterns.\u00a0 Vivillon is known for having different patterns on its wings depending on where it is caught in the real world. This is something that has held true since the Pok\u00e9mon was introduced in X and Y, with Niantic playing on this and tying these patterns to that same concept.\u00a0 When it was added to Pok\u00e9mon Go, 18 of Vivllon\u2019s patterns were tied to specific regions and areas in the world as if it were a region-locked encounter. However, it isn\u2019t actually exclusive to those areas: rather, all a player needs to do in order to get another location\u2019s pattern is to pin a Postcard from one of the corresponding areas.\u00a0 Despite that, there are actually 20 different Vivillon patterns in total, and the final two can\u2019t be obtained simply by opening the right Gift from a friend and pinning it.\u00a0 Can you get Fancy Pattern or Pok\u00e9 Ball Pattern Vivillon in Pok\u00e9mon Go?\u00a0 Both Fancy Pattern and Pok\u00e9 Ball Pattern Vivillon are unique because they are patterns that have only been obtainable through events in the past\u2014at least initially.\u00a0 Related: All Vivillon forms in Pok\u00e9mon Go and how to get them The Pok\u00e9 Ball Pattern specifically was only distributed via special events in 2014 and 2016 for events like pop-up Pok\u00e9mon Center stores in Europe, Gamescom 2014, and a single wider online distribution in America. It has not been available since then and is currently unavailable in Pok\u00e9mon Go.\u00a0 As for the Fancy Pattern, it is actually more common now than it ever has been since every Vivillon the player can obtain either in the wild or by leveling up its pre-evolutions in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet is actually locked to this pattern. It is unclear why this is, but it has been tested, and the only other patterns shown in the game appear to be through NPCs who use Vivillon on their team.\u00a0 Prior to Gen IX, Fancy Pattern Vivillon was also an event exclusive, acting as a special distribution prize in July 2014 to celebrate Global Trade System reaching 100 million trades.\u00a0 Both the Fancy Pattern and Pok\u00e9 Ball Pattern for Vivillon are not currently obtainable in Pok\u00e9mon Go due to their former exclusivity and lack of tie to a real-world location. But that doesn\u2019t mean they won\u2019t ever be added to the mobile game.\u00a0 It is very likely Fancy Pattern Vivillon will be added through an event of some kind in the future that either focuses on the Scale Pok\u00e9mon or has a tie to either trading or the Paldea region\u2014since it is very frequently found there. As for the Pok\u00e9 Ball pattern, it is unclear if it will be made available in a similar way, but it is likely considering how The Pok\u00e9mon Company is handling the other previously special event-locked pattern.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/20080422\/unnamed-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763799"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763799"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":763803,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763799\/revisions\/763803"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763799"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=763799"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=763799"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=763799"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=763799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
