{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different patterns that it can have 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.

In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system on which it was generated. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is determined from the system's set geographic location when the save file is created and cannot be changed later unless the game is reset. Locations within a country can have a different form than merely selecting a country without setting a specific location. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].
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 cannot be changed later unless the save file is deleted.
 
Due to {{nw|Nintendo 3DS#Region locking|3DS region locking}}, each game copy can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region that game copy is from. On top of this, when the user picks a country/territory from the 3DS's provided list, certain territories have subdivisions and the user may choose to ignore these (for example, selecting the United States and then not selecting any US state). This may change which Vivillon form shows up. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].


In [[Generation IX]], all wild Vivillon will have the Fancy Pattern by default. However, transferring a Postcard from [[Pokémon 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 to Fancy 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.
