Vivillon (Japanese: ビビヨン Viviyon) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves from Spewpa starting at level 12. It is the final form of Scatterbug.

In Generations VI and VII, Vivillon's wing pattern depends on the real-world geographic location set on the game the Pokémon was generated in. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Spewpa will always evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon. There are a total of 20 known patterns, one of which is event-exclusive. For a partial list of real-world Vivillon pattern locations, see List of Pokémon with form differences → Vivillon.

Biology

Vivillon is a butterfly-like Pokémon 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. Its wings' pattern is affected by the climate and topography of the environment it lives and is born in. It can spread its scales to poison its opponents during battle; or, as shown in the anime, to calm an opponent's fighting spirit. It is highly capable of finding sources of water, such as springs.

Vivillon is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Powder by leveling up.

Viola owns a Meadow Pattern Vivillon that she uses in her Gym. It first appeared in Kangaskhan...Kangascan't.

In Dancing Vivillon and Burning Fletchinder, fifteen Sky Trainers were hypnotized by Malva and used fifteen Vivillon, each with a different Pattern. The Vivillon Patterns which debuted were the Archipelago, Continental, Elegant, Garden, High Plains, Icy Snow, Jungle, Modern, Monsoon, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun, and Tundra Patterns. The leader of these Sky Trainers, Yvette, has mentioned that she has 18 of the Vivillon Patterns, including the Poké Ball and Fancy Patterns. After their defeat and no longer being hypnotized the Vivillon safely land the Sky Trainers down in Shooting Frogadier. Yvette later uses a Marine Pattern Vivillon with her other Vivillon and in conjunction with Viola's Meadow Pattern Vivillon.

Trivia

Vivillon and its pre-evolved forms are the only Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
Vivillon and its pre-evolved forms are the only Generation VI Pokémon in the Bug Egg Group.
Vivillon's effort value yield of 1 HP, 1 Special Attack, and 1 Speed is unique.
Vivillon's Pokédex color has changed between generations:
- In Generation VI, Vivillon's Pokédex color is black.
- In Generation VII, Vivillon's Pokédex color is white.
- In Pokémon HOME, each of Vivillon's forms are listed under distinct color groupings based on the color of their wings.
  - Since the release of Pokémon HOME, Vivillon is listed under the most Pokédex color groupings, with a total of nine.
  - There currently exists a Vivillon form for every Pokédex color group, except black.
Vivillon cannot learn Iron Defense from a Move Tutor, even though its pre-evolution, Spewpa, is able to learn this move.
As of Generation IX, Vivillon has the most Pokédex entries for a single Pokémon, with 20 per game (one for each form). However, prior to Version 1.2.0, only some of these 20 entries were accessible, as Spewpa could only evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and only a few other entries could be gained from NPC encounters.

Origin

Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on Papilio dardanus, which is known for having over 14 known morphs, each of which mimics a different distasteful species of butterfly. Its block-like wing patterns may be based on pixel art. Modern Pattern Vivillon in particular may be based on modern art, specifically the De Stijl movement.

Name origin

Vivillon may be a combination of vivid and papillon (French for butterfly). It may also involve brillant (French for brilliant).

Viviyon may be a combination of 美 bi (beauty), vivid, and papillon. It may also involve brillant.
