Okay, so I’ve been trying to snag all the Vivillon patterns in Pokémon GO, and let me tell you, the Savanna region was a tough one. I mean, I live nowhere near a Savanna climate, so I knew I was going to have to get creative.
First, I started by scouring online communities. I figured there had to be other players out there in the same boat, and I was right! I found several threads on different forums and social media groups dedicated to Vivillon trading and postcard exchanges.
Then I dug into the actual mechanics of it. I learned that you get Scatterbug (which evolves into Vivillon) by pinning postcards from other players. And the pattern of the Vivillon depends on the region the postcard is from. So the goal was clear: I needed postcards from the Savanna region.
Next, I actively participated in those online groups. I posted my friend code, offered to send gifts from my region (which is pretty common, sadly), and politely requested postcards from anyone in the Savanna region. I made sure to be friendly and responsive – nobody wants to help a grump!
- I joined a couple of dedicated Discord servers.
- I checked Reddit threads daily for new friend codes.
- I even tried my luck on Twitter, using relevant hashtags.
It took a while, honestly. I got a lot of postcards from other regions, which was cool, but not what I needed. But I kept at it. I made it a part of my daily routine to check for new messages and friend requests.
Finally, after about two weeks of consistent effort, I started getting some Savanna postcards! I pinned them immediately, of course. And lo and behold, I got my first Savanna Scatterbug! The feeling was great, a real sense of accomplishment.
I continued to exchange gifts with the folks who sent me the Savanna postcards, and over time, I managed to collect enough Scatterbug candy to evolve it into a Spewpa, and finally, a beautiful Savanna pattern Vivillon! Woohoo!
My Key Takeaways
It takes dedication, but it is acheivable. Don’t give up!
So, yeah, that’s how I conquered the Savanna region challenge in Pokémon GO. It wasn’t easy, but it was definitely rewarding. Persistence and being part of the community are key!
