Vivillon is a butterfly-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antennae. The tips of the antennae each have an ovoid scale that is dark gray on the upper half and beige on the lower half. Vivillon's thorax is an ovoid and divided into three segments; each segment is a different shade of gray. Its legs are also ovoid and are dark gray on the lower half, beige on the upper half, and have a black band in the middle. It has two black, circular hands and no visible arms.

While Vivillon's wings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, they always have black edges and pixelated markings. It can spread its scales to poison its opponents during battle or, as [[XY012|shown]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}, to calm an opponent's fighting spirit. It is highly capable of finding sources of water, such as springs.


Vivillon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Powder}} by leveling up.

Vivillon has multiple forms based on the patterns on its wings.
Vivillon has 20 separate forms; the pattern of Vivillon's wings is affected by the climate and topography of the environment it lives and is born in.

Vivillon has 20 separate forms; each having different patterns on its wings. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon they will evolve into already set when the Pokémon is generated; for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents. This form cannot be changed.
| Fancy Pattern
 
| Garden Pattern
In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on which geographic location the user specified on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] at the time the save file was created. This affects all Vivillon encountered within the game and can only be changed later by deleting the save file and creating a new one. Due to {{DL|Software region|Nintendo 3DS|region locking}}, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all wild Vivillon will have the Fancy Pattern by default (though other patterns are used by some [[Non-player character|NPCs]]). However, transferring a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}} using the [[Mystery Gift]] feature in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} will change the pattern of all wild Vivillon to match the location the Postcard came from. After 24 hours, wild Vivillon will revert back to Fancy Pattern unless another Postcard has been used. Changing the time and date of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system may end the effect prematurely. Only one Pokémon GO account may be linked per day, and an account cannot send more than one Postcard in a day. Furthermore, a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet save file may not receive the same Postcard more than once. All [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into the Fancy Pattern regardless of Postcard effects. Using the [[Union Circle]] feature, players are able to see and catch wild Vivillon from other players' games, allowing them to catch various patterns of Vivillon regardless of whether they own a matching Postcard. Additionally, if the Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like Pokémon GO, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

18 of the patterns correspond to certain regions, while the other two do not. The regions corresponding to each pattern differ somewhat between the Nintendo 3DS and Pokémon GO.

| The Fancy Pattern was originally an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon and was [[GTS Fancy Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]] via the [[Nintendo Network]] from July 8 to 31, 2014 to celebrate the [[Global Trade System|GTS]]'s 100 millionth [[trade]].<br>
| Polar Pattern
By default, all Vivillon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} have the Fancy Pattern, regardless of the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system; however, receiving a Postcard changes the pattern of wild Vivillon for 24 hours.
