#I have Polar pattern Vivillon ^^

[pokemonshelterstories]

Do you have a favorite pattern of vivillon? My friend and I have been discussing this topic a lot lately, my favorite is polar, it was the kind I grew up seeing most!

i really like the ocean pattern! i've never seen it in person, but it looks like a sunrise....we only see the fancy pattern here in paldea, but i still think they're super pretty too :]

i do have a special place in my heart for the elegant pattern vivillon, though, since my niece has one! these guys are usually only found out in kanto and johto. in the wild, they're actually pretty aggressive, and have even been known to chase after spearow!

[pokedexcamp]

There's an activity I've planned for this! I want to teach the campers about the different Vivillon patterns and how you can predict which one they'll evolve into based on where they were caught!

Although... I don't actually know where Pixel was caught. But that doesn't matter! And the campers don't need to know that

I'm going to have them vote on what pattern Pixel will be! And if they're right I'll dye my hair that color! I'll probably still dye my hair if they're wrong but I'll do a much smaller section

//keep in mind that the kids probably aren't voting for which one is the most likely- they're probably voting for the one they think is the coolest or prettiest

Hey friendos, if you’re playing Pokemon Go, maybe give me an add? I’m trying to get all the Vivillon patterns in SV. I’ve got Modern, and I still need Elegant, Icy Snow, Meadow, Monsoon, Ocean, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun and Tundra. So…almost all of them.

Also I have a Goomy hat, so you should add me just so you can see my cool hat.

Friend code is 5022 7800 4763.

[queercuttlefish]

If anyone wants to add me on Pokémon Go

I’m looking for vivillon that I don’t have… esp tundra, sandstorm, jungle, ocean, river, and archipelago

I live in the polar pattern

[greenyvertekins]

I like collecting Vivillon patterns in Violet :3 Started with Polar pattern since I have a Swedish friend in GO. Tomorrow, I’ll be hunting Monsoon Pattern as I have a new Taiwanese friend :D

[bergeronprocess]

I've already purchased The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero and changed Violetta into one of the new outfits I obtained as a result. 😁

I'm so excited for this DLC. I never bought the Sword/Shield DLC after I got Shield at the end of 2020 because it just didn't seem to intrigue me, but ooooh I'm intrigued by Teal Mask and Indigo Disk. I also like the settings for both - a school trip to a Matsuri! I hope all the friends crew gets to be there too. Imagine Penny in an Eevee themed yukata! And then going to be an exchange student at Blueberry Academy, which appears to be situated mostly underwater. Holy moly these look so exciting.

I also figured out (with some trouble and Googling around) how to connect Go with Violet to send over a postcard. I sent over one from Canada and so I got a Polar pattern Vivillon. Haven't opened the Gimmighoul bag over in Go yet but will at some point. Now I want to try to send over postcards from every other Vivillon region...

With some struggle, I did manage to get both of the new paradox mon from the raids. It was much harder for me as a Violet player to find and successfully join a Dino Suicune raid - they must be more in demand - and I truly didn't have great counters for either, but I stumbled into success anyway lol. (I used Skeledirge against Iron Leaves and Arboliva against Dino Suicune.)

Doodledex - #666 Vivillon

....Wow, that’s kind of a, uh... beastly number for such a pretty butterfly like Vivillon! But much like with how it was ironic (and unfortunate) that Cherubi got the National Dex number it did, there’s irony here too.... sometimes Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, was referenced as being the devil himself. (Seriously, what were the odds that this wound up being a Bug-type?)

The patterns on Vivillon’s wings are determined by the climate of the part of the world it lives in, resulting in a rainbow of fancy butterflies! And it’s not just random lore like in Arbok’s entry, either.... depending on what location you set for your game system, Scatterbugs (or Scatterbug eggs) generated in your game will evolve into one out of 18 different Vivillon! For instance, certain parts of Europe (most notably France) get the Meadow Pattern at the top of this post! If you’re wondering what pattern I get.... that’d be the Polar Pattern directly below it! (Wondering where the other 16 are? They’ll get a “bonus doodle” along with the two event patterns!)

[cademon1]

Hey, so i’m trading on pokemon home right?  got A LOT of vivillon so i can get all the different patterns like i shoulda done back in gen 6, but did not, and someone just traded me a fancy pattern vivillon?  a shiny, level 100, fancy pattern vivillon?  for reference, fancy pattern vivillon is event only, and i was offering a just evolved (lvl 12) normal-ass polar pattern vivillon.  so wtf?  did i get a hacked pokemon or smth?  i’m kinda scared it is tbh, can you even get a shiny fancy pattern vivillon when it was event only? that it’s lvl 100 Super does not help

Scatteralts/Pewpalia/Vivigade [PBFP]

Since I had to do a GIF to fit them all in (and I didn’t want to do a massively long strip and risk the websites I post to cropping or shrinking it), here are the full resolution versions: Prairie, Subarctic, Flora, Desertbloom Delta, Aurora, Source, Honor Mainland, Sea, Gale, Vogue

Sorry for the delay! Had this crazy fusion to figure out and I moved!

Scatteralts [Bug/Psychic] -> Pewpalia [Bug/Fairy] -> Vivigade (Demure: Prairie/Delta/Mainland) [Flying/Psychic] || Vivigade (Serene: Flora/Source/Gale) [Flying/Fairy] || Vivigade (Forlorn: Subarctic/Aurora/Sea) [Bug/Fighting] || Vivigade (Resolute: Desertbloom/Honor/Vogue) [Flying/Fighting]

Another crazy fusion, as usual skip down for dex data. To start, my math said to have only one final stage with 12 forms, and Ralt’s final stages have 4 forms total and Vivillon has 20. I combined 16 of the Vivillon forms to make 8 pairs + 4 unpaired, so 12 total. Usually I do color matching to pair things, but Ralt’s final forms are all White/Green…Then a friend of mine had the great idea that the Ralts line is emotion based! And emotions have associated colors! I choose Pokemon natures for each final stage based on their best and worst stats then found an associated color (so Gardevoir was Modest/Green, Mega Gardevoir was Mild/Teal, Gallade was Lonely/Blue, and Mega Gallade was Adamant/Brown). I then matched the Vivillon colors to those emotion colors for which forms got paired with which. The final groupings were: Gardevoir with High Plains/Sun, Archipelago/River, and Continental Vivillon Mega Gardevoir with Garden/Jungle, Marine/Savannah, and Monsoon Vivillon Gallade with Icy/Tundra, Elegant/Polar, and Ocean Vivillon Mega Gallade with Meadow/Sandstorm, Fancy/PokeBall, and Modern Vivillon

Scatteralts and Pewpalia are fairly unassuming looking Pokemon. But they’re capable of surviving in any environment and make wonderful friends due to their hardy bodies and empathic abilities respectively.

They’re most prized for their evolution, Vivigade, though. Collectors have noticed patterns in how to obtain each form but nothing for certain has been determined. For example, the form group names (Demure, Forlorn, Serene, and Resolute) all have a similar body structure but different wing patterns. Vivigade in the Forlorn/Resolute group are more likely to be male, but notably Demure/Serene group Vivigade are fairly even in their gender distribution. Their individual forms seem to be influenced by the environment the evolve or change form in.

For example, when Pewpalia evolve, they turn into a Vivigade in either the Demure or Forlorn group. This form is set and cannot be changed. When they enter battle, they will often change into a Serene or Resolute form (Serene for Demure and Resolute for Forlorn). The form they change into differs every time, though Vivigade in the same environment often turn into the same Serene/Resolute form. After battle, they will return to their original Demure/Forlorn form.

Tightrope: a Y Storylocke

Chapter Three: Bring Wings to the Weak and Bring Grace to the Strong

Neuvartault was larger than Quarellis and far busier even at this early hour. The streets were straight, regular, and lined with stately townhouses that smelled of musty old money. Clearly the municipality contained hordes of wealth deep enough to have the flagstones relaid all neat and flat, enough to maintain the wall around the old city and the château on the hill that still reigned over them long after the lord himself was gone.   Aisling would have to hold out hope for Illumis because none of it held much appeal. However, since looking it up, she had come to appreciate the curving vine motif of all the signs, lampposts, and public benches leftover from the city’s Art Nouveau period. They did a lot to counter the rigidity and dullness of the place. She’d never spared much thought for it before, but maybe there was something to this decorative arts business.

Aisling passed by the grand square with its patinated copper Roselia fountain in favor of the little park on the quieter east end of the main boulevard while Cináed continued to snooze on her shoulder. The Neuvartault Gym was a far more modern building than most of the others, but the architect had been sensible to its surroundings and created a design that reflected the park around it as well as the older buildings across the street. The front was large, regular stonework with tall, arched windows while the back was an enormous glass dome held up by a webbing of steel. “Why exactly are you doing this now?” Cináed asked with a yawn. “I thought for sure you’d want to show off for your new friends.” “Because I want to be first and Serena will wake up any day now and realize she’s more than ready. I can show off the badge to them later.” Cináed eyed her. “Suit yourself.” Aisling glanced down at her belt to turn her face away from him and brushed her fingers over the pokeballs there, settling on the one with a little Lepidopteran motif engraved into the top. It turned out that shininess did not influence the coloration of Vivillon wings beyond giving the scales a more intense iridescent sheen. Dáire had the same deep blue and white of any other polar pattern variant. But her body had stayed a pale cream rather than turn gray, which complemented her wings quite nicely. Which was why Aisling sent her out as they approached the bug-type gym. Although she was now significantly larger than Cináed, Dáire fluttered nervously to Aisling’s other side to avoid his gaze. At least she hit hard since evolving. “I was thinking—” Aisling began. “Dangerous,” Cináed cut in. “What if you battled for the badge?” “Aisling,” he groaned. “It would be so easy for you! You’re already way strong enough and you have every type advantage in the book! We’d be in and out in minutes!” “Aisling, I’m not your pokemon.” “We can go to the Pokemon Center first and get you registered!” He turned away from her. “We’ve been over this. I’m not a battler.” “But you could be!” “I don’t want to.” He took off and landed on a nearby bench. She skipped forward into his line of sight. “But we’ve never even battled against any trainers together. Just one gym and then if you—” “I’m not doing it, Aisling!” He flared his wings for emphasis and his clear note struck her quiet. “I said I’d see you to the first gym and I have! After I watch your match, I’m going home.” Aisling clenched her fists, but couldn’t make her tongue form any words. Dáire fluttered by her shoulder. Aisling could never get a read on that stiff face of hers, but she was watching now instead of hiding. “You’ve got jitters.” Aisling had thought it, but it was Cináed who said it. He bowed slightly, placating. “And I understand, believe me.” She remembered how nervous he had been when they had first started battling, how much she’d needed to reassure him, how she’d punted that one Bunnelby herself when it wouldn’t get off him. “But you don’t need to be. I helped you put this team together and they’re strong enough. They’re ready for this badge. And you have your own strength too—I’ve felt it.” He gestured to his chest, to their bond, to the energy she poured into him when they battled. “That will take you anywhere you want to go.” He was right, she told herself, but she wavered. “You could stay on as a companion pokemon. I wouldn’t make you fight anymore.” Cináed sighed and shuffled his wings. “This move and then this trip with you is more than enough for me. I miss Grace and Raleigh and home. I wasn’t made for adventure.” Her eyes fell and her jaw clenched almost painfully. His white wingtip flitted in front of her nose as he pointed to her. “But you, you’re destined for greatness.” She let her gaze be guided back up to him and he puffed, standing up on his toes with his wrists up to look as big as possible. “You’re gonna show this region things they’ve never seen. You’ll bring them to their knees and carry them on your shoulders. And I’ll be watching. We’ll all be watching you the whole way.” She wasn’t going to cry… And she wouldn’t insist anymore either. “I’m going to miss you terrible, Cináed.” “Same here, Rough Rider. But you’ll call home, won’t you?” “O’course.” “And you can wear my feathers, so I’ll always be with you.” Aisling smiled and sat down on the bench next to him. Cináed hopped back onto her shoulder and nuzzled up against her cheek. She tickled him and then slumped in her seat, letting her head loll back and exhaling a long sigh. Cináed chuckled good-naturedly and Dáire alighted on the lampost to their left. Aisling should never have let her out before she talked to Cináed. Would Dáire say anything to the others? What would she tell them? “Excuse me, Mademoiselle, is that your Vivillon?” It was a gorgeous woman, probably in her thirties, with a pen tucked behind her ear. She wore a short-sleeve jacket with a generous opening at the top and one of those asymmetric, short haircuts that were practically illegal for straight women. “Why yes, she is, Madame.” Those silver jeans should have been illegal too. “I’ve never seen a shiny one before. She’s just lovely!” Aisling hummed and nodded in agreement, sparing not a glance for her pokemon. “Are you going to challenge the gym?” the woman asked, indicating the imposing facade to her right. Aisling straightened from her comfortable sprawl. “Oh, uh…” “You seem like a capable trainer.” A damn sight more than capable. “Why not give it a go?” She could still do this. What the hell was she even worried about? “Yeah, alright.” Cináed snickered on her shoulder, which was fair honestly, but she still brushed him off. “Excellent!” the woman declared, fist raised triumphantly, and Aisling hopped right out of her seat to that rallying cry. “This ought to be good. Let me walk you in.” That seemed a bit odd, but Aisling wasn’t about to argue. “I’m Alexa by the way. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She eagerly accepted the hand offered her. “Aisling. A pleasure to meet you too.” Alexa put her hand on the small of Aisling’s back and she let herself be guided inside and right up to the front desk where she handed over her trainer card to whoever was working there. Cináed alighted beside her and she glanced over her shoulder to see Dáire almost get clipped by the automatic doors for her hesitation. She turned and slouched back against the counter. “Come here often?” “Like a second home,” Alexa said brightly, paying more attention to her registration than Aisling was. “Oh, is this your first gym battle?” “Yeah.” The clerk placed Aisling’s trainer ID back in her open hand. “The first time is always the most exciting!” Alexa leaned on the counter too, resting her chin on her palm. “Are you going to use your Fletching?” “Oh, Cináed?” she asked, pointing her thumb at him. “He’s just a friend.” Alexa laughed at that and Aisling laughed too. Holy shit, she was doing it! Aisling declined the opportunity to battle other trainers first and made sure Dáire was following as Alexa took her past the photo gallery to the middle of the greenhouse where there was a packed-earth battlefield. The air was heavy and full of buzzing wingbeats. Another woman emerged on the other end of the field in a white tank, dull green cargos, and heavy hiking boots. She had an expensive professional camera slung around her neck. “Hey Vi, look what I found!” The woman’s face fell into her hand at the sight of Alexa with her arm around Aisling’s shoulders. “I’m sorry, I hope Al didn’t drag you in here—” In an instant, exasperation and embarrassment gave way to purest excitement. “Is that a shiny Vivillon?!” “Sure is!” Aisling declared with almost as much enthusiasm. “I’ve only ever seen one before, and he was an elegant variant. The shininess plays so much better against the blue here. She’s gorgeous!” Aisling was sorely tempted to say the same thing about the woman in front of her, who was somehow even more attractive than the one she’d come in with. But flirting with the Gym Leader was a bold move even for her, so she just said “thank you” as if it was a compliment about her own appearance… Oops. Viola’s hands were already on her camera. “Would you two be open to some photos?” “I’d be honored, Maîtresse.” “Vi, shouldn’t—” Alexa began to interject. “Right!” Viola let her camera fall back against her chest. “I’m sorry. You’re here for your first badge.” Aisling nodded with somewhat less enthusiasm. “We can talk about my hobby after the match.” “I’d love to.” “But where are my manners?” She offered her hand. “It’s great to finally meet you, Aisling. Xoana and my daughter have been talking about you non-stop. I’m excited to see what you can do!” WHAT?? Why had no one told her this? They probably had and she just wasn’t paying attention. She should have realized it the moment Viola came in. She was literally an older, hotter Serena. Same pale blonde hair and blue eyes, same cheekbones, same perfect hands, same broad, dark eyebrows. The resemblance was uncanny. And now that she had been pulled back to reality, they also looked a lot like the woman she’d come in with. “You gonna stay and watch, Al?” “Of course! Wouldn’t want to miss my big scoop!” She gave Aisling’s shoulder a squeeze before retreating to the edge of the arena. “You’ll have to forgive my twin her terrible journalism jokes. She works for Illumis Press.” Twin? No way. No fucking way! Well, fraternal twins were a thing so it was actually totally possible— For once she stopped her mind from going down that road. She couldn’t afford it right now. She felt hot all over and she couldn’t tell if it was the humidity, confusion, embarrassment, or other feelings anymore. Probably all of it at once. She only barely caught Viola mouthing some kind of reprimand to Alexa as her head stopped swimming. Viola smiled awkwardly to cover it and Aisling was saved from having to try and continue the conversation by Viola’s own readiness to move past it. “Let’s begin!” Viola paced back to her side of the battlefield and put her hands on her hips. This family was going to be the death of her. She could feel it. “Ready Aisling?” It was going to take days. “You know it!” Viola pulled a ball from one of her many pockets and released a Surskit onto the field. “Alright, Dáire, let’s go.” The Vivillon dipped in the air and turned away from the field to look at Cináed, perched on a branch. Her antennae bobbed nervously and then she shook her head at Aisling. “Come on, not now,” Aisling hissed. “You’ll do fine!” Dáire backed away and shook her head even more emphatically. “You’re embarrassing me!” Aisling whined as quietly as she could. Dáire beat her wings, blowing air in Aisling’s face, and let out a chirping click. “She’s not going to do it Aisling,” said Cináed. Aisling glared at her for another beat and the Vivillon didn’t budge. “Fine.” But they were going to have a talk later. “Everything alright over there?” Viola called. “Fine! Dáire’s just a bit sensitive about getting wet. I’ll use someone else for the Surskit!” Aisling considered the other options on her belt. Emer was willing, but couldn’t take a hit worth a damn and couldn’t really deal one either. Bree could probably handle it, but her accuracy wasn’t great yet and she had a type disadvantage. Gobán had the least experience, but the Dunsparce had proven hardy. Aisling let her out. “You ready to win the badge for us?” Gobán looked between Aisling and her opponent, and her wings vibrated. She did one of her little spins that meant she was not only ready, she was stoked. Good. “Gobán use Rollout!” The Dunsparce covered herself in a rocky shell and barreled forwards like a runaway tire. The Surskit was fast and light on her feet, so she waited until Gobán was almost upon her before dodging easily out of the way. By all accounts Rollout was a bit crude in the hands of a beginner and quite difficult to master, but Gobán was almost serenely graceful. She turned on a dime, drifting like a pro racer and kicking up an elegant wave of dirt that Viola captured on her high-speed camera. The Surskit pelted her with explosive bubbles, but it wasn’t even enough to slow her down and this time there was no escape. The torque sent the Surskit arcing through the air and spinning on her antena where she landed. Viola let go of her camera long enough to withdraw her and send out a Vivillon of her own. This one was shades of pink and not really Aisling’s aesthetic, but pretty nonetheless. The palette would suit Xoana well. “Keep up your momentum and wait for my signal!” Aisling commanded. Viola and her Vivillon went for Bug Buzz to weaken and disorient Gobán, but it didn’t matter. When Aisling called, the Dunsparce launched herself into the air with a flick of her tail, coiling again before impact for maximum speed and spin. The Vivillon plummeted like a stone while Gobán glided lightly down on her small, translucent wings, shedding the rocky remains of her attack onto her opponent as she spiraled. The Vivillon fluttered one wing weakly, unable or unwilling to rise. Viola withdrew her pokemon. “Good work as always, Gobán.” The Dunsparce hummed as she slithered back to Aisling’s side. “Fantastic! Just fantastic!” Viola cried, striding across the arena. “You had me worried with that last-minute switch, but it looks like you’ve been working with your whole team.” “O’course.” It didn’t matter that Aisling had made Gobán practice Rollout mostly to improve Bree’s skill with the move. Or that she had never intended to have her Dunsparce in this battle. She had proven herself and so had Gobán. Maybe it was time to consider a new role for her. “I must say that was quite impressive for a first badge match, even with that little snag at the beginning.” Aisling tried not to wince. Of course she noticed. How could she not? “Hopefully your Vivillon will be more up for a battle next time. Pokemon all have their own fears, quirks, and preferences but sometimes all they need is a little encouragement to expand their horizons. Being on a trainer’s team is very different than being wild, after all.” Aisling was beginning to think Dáire might need more than encouragement. “And it’s very important to listen to your pokemon the way you did. I don’t imagine you can understand them perfectly after so short a time, but you are communicating and that’s essential.” Aisling would be doing plenty of communicating with Dáire after this was over. “You and your Dunsparce are really quite in sync for how green you are.” It was a lucky shot, but Aisling was good at those. “Even more impressive considering you have five pokemon already. That’s a lot for a beginner to handle and normally I’d advise against it, but you’re clearly managing them well. Here’s the Bug Badge.” Aisling accepted the bright, beetle pin and took a moment to admire it against her palm. Her insides twisted, but not in a nice way—not the way they should be after being complimented by a gorgeous woman and winning her first badge. “Thank you.” “Now I know your Vivillon wasn’t up for getting doused, but would she be willing to do an impromptu photo shoot?” “She’d love to.” ... Xoana tapped her foot against the polished wood of the gallery floor as she looked up at Aisling’s confident grin. She probably should have known this photo would be up already after how excited Mme Pascal had been at dinner the other night. Xoana always liked coming in here, seeing what Viola was working on and what sort of pokemon had come through. Serena’s attempts at photography had long since been taken down as per her request, though a few were preserved among the family photos in the family’s front hall. A few of Xoana’s were there too. Serena had never really had the patience to follow her mother down that path. Xoana had pursued it for longer, surpassed where Serena had stopped, but she had never done anything for long enough to become truly skilled. Nor did she excel at anything the way Serena excelled at sports and academics and battling. Viola had taken decades to hone her craft, worked until she could capture motion, vitality, and spirit with a still image. It was almost like meeting the pokemon and people in the photographs, except that one had permission to study every detail. Dáire really did look stunning with that beam of sunlight making every scale of glitter shine like a dewdrop. Aisling was in matching colors with gold dust twinkling between her freckles. She looked like a model—or like how a model should look: all self-assurance and pleasure, staring right at the viewer in challenge with just a hint of warmth in her cheeks. “Mme Bellamy,” Andre announced over the speaker, “Gym Leader Viola is ready for your badge battle.” Xoana looked down at Froabble, who blew bubbles out of his nose at her. She took a deep breath and walked into the greenhouse. The air inside was always wonderfully full of life and smells and oxygen. The heat and humidity may have been a bit much for some, like Tessa who yawned loudly to adjust to the change in atmosphere, but Xoana and her Froakie welcomed it. Viola was waiting for them on the opposite end of the arena and Xoana’s friends waited on the park benches on either side. Tierney cheered and the others followed suit. Even Tracie clapped, from the safety of her oversized hoodie and legs pulled up inside her skirt while Tierney hollered next to her. Serena felt obliged to pile assurances atop Tierney’s from her perch beside a comfortably sprawled Aisling. “I’m excited to finally face you, Xoana,” said Viola warmly. “Are you ready?” “Yes, Maîtresse!” Xoana didn’t breathe until her first opponent was released—a Karrablast. He brandished his horn, thick carapace gleaming in the sun. “Go Tessa!” Nothing happened. The Teddiursa wasn’t paying attention. Viola didn’t wait for Xoana decide what to do about it. The Karrablast charged. And suddenly, barreling right for her with violent intent, it wasn’t cute anymore. This was crazy! What on earth was she doing here? What should she do?? Fortunately, the Karrablast’s aggression did hold Tessa’s attention and she planted herself between Xoana and the oncoming beetle, teeth bared in an uncharacteristic snarl. She grabbed him by the horn and threw him to the ground. The Karrablast rolled right back to his feet but by then Xoana had the presence of mind to issue an actual command. The two pokemon boxed back and forth with Fury Swipes and Fury Cutter, neither gaining the upper hand—or paw. Tessa was slugged repeatedly but she stayed standing and kept herself between Xoana and her opponent with a relentless and wild fervor. Tessa’s usually round face pulled into angry lines as she bellowed. Her once soft paws stretched into claws. Her cuddly frame knocked the Karrablast to the ground like a battering ram splintering a castle gate. Xoana yelled encouragement even as her gut twisted up watching it. Was this the same pokemon she had befriended? It couldn’t be. Tessa wouldn’t be here without her. She wouldn’t be battling at all. She wouldn’t be rearing and smashing the Karrablast into the dirt over and over until he squeaked in defeat. Just like that, she was back—limping back to Xoana with a cautious smile and soft eyes searching her face, making sure she was okay. Xoana kneeled and hugged her and told her how well she had done. Tessa snuffled her ear and patted her between the shoulders. But the battle wasn’t over. Froabble had already taken his place on the field and Viola sent out a Vivillon—a garden pattern decked in warm shades of green. Froabble leapt the same moment she called to him. The Vivillon’s Gust missed but made Froabble’s Bubble go wide. The Vivillon dipped back and forth, re-evaluating, and when Frobble leapt again, she anticipated his move and hit I’m dead on with Infestation. Froabble hit the ground hard, writhing as the tiny insects swarmed him. There was nothing she could do to help him. The Vivillon hovered over him, eyes glowing as she urged her minions on. “Come on, Xoana!” Aisling was sitting up now, both feet planted and leaning towards the edge of her seat. She met Xoana’s eyes boldly, poured something into her with that stare. Heat coursed through her. She could help Froabble by finishing the battle, by winning. She had a strategy. Last night Serena had noticed the nervousness in her face and shoulders and addressed it in that almost tactful way she sometimes had. She had endured Xoana’s babbling and frantic pacing with the patience and equanimity she kept stored for her friends and pokemon. She had been gentle where she could be, direct when she needed to be. And now Serena was there cheering for her. She always was. Xoana commanded Froabble with borrowed confidence and turned the battle with borrowed smarts. Froabble zigzagged with his signature speed, dodging any further attacks and getting close enough to repeatedly soak the Vivillon’s wings. She sunk under the added weight and when she was low enough, Froabble leapt above her and bore her to the ground. The infestation left him, signaling the Vivillon’s surrender. Xoana’s friends whooped, hollered, whistled, and clapped. The pokemon cheered too. Emer was bouncing high on her tail and squeaking at the top of her voice. Froabble jumped into her open arms. “Nice battle!” Aisling’s compliment somehow rang above the others. “I wasn’t expecting that awesome strat after you and Tessa just brute-forced the Karrablast.” That was because it wasn’t hers. Or maybe she was being a bit unfair to herself. Serena hadn’t actually told her what to do, just steered her thinking in the right direction. “Thanks!” “Well done, Xoana!” Viola congratulated warmly. “You’ve got a great connection with your pokemon already. I couldn’t be prouder.” Aisling smirked at her over Viola’s shoulder, smug vindication smeared across her visage. But the reason for it and the faint glow rising to Aisling’s cheeks forced a grin onto Xoana’s face. She’d yet to stop insisting that Xoana had real potential as a trainer and this battle hadn’t convinced her otherwise. It was tough to be sure about Tessa, but Froabble was a natural battler—that focus, assurance, and pure athleticism. If he hadn’t gone to her, he would have gone to some other trainer. He was going to be great and maybe she could help him get there. “That was fun,” Froabble declared as if he could read her thoughts. “Thank you, Xoana.” Xoana startled all of them with her giddy shriek but she didn’t care. She danced around with Froabble held high, yelling “he talked!” over and over. It was stupid, because all pokemon talked, but she finally understood him.

INKTOBER2019 Day 10 - Pattern - Vivillon

oliver stop forgetting to upload inktobers challenge

“Vivillon's wing pattern depends on the real-world geographic location set on the game the Pokémon was generated in. There are a total of 20 known patterns.” - Bulbapedia

I chose the Polar pattern because it’s my favourite (and also I wasn’t about to draw 20 vivillons without having copy-and-paste available)

Does anyone on here have the archipelago or tundra patterns of Vivillon in Pokémon gen 7? My friend said they’d trade me but that was a few days ago and it never happened :(

I can offer the polar or elegant pattern! DM me for my friend code if you’re down

Sometimes I look at my tags and I totally agree with Pheel that the Polar Vivillon is great. I also love the Tundra, Sandstorm, Savanna, Icy Snow, Elegant, and Poke Ball patterns. I wanted to do a large picture with all the patterns but didn’t have the time or energy. It would be a fun one to revisit. The aesthetic of X and Y is my favorite. So many pretty pokemon designs. I love the trainer’s look and the clothing options. It’s the best.

Master Dex Challenge Week 6:

BAM I am blowing through Johto! This week I got an additional 58 pokémon making the new total 72/173 (I know I said 174 before, also you might notice some of the pokémon have shifted. That’s because I accidentally counted Quagsire 3 times instead of 2.)

You might notice the Alola Variant spots, those are for “!” and “?” Unown, which I must get in Soul Silver.

I have had no headway with female Venusaur. She’s holding up Gen I’s completion, but I’ll get it soon enough! 

Highlights:

I got all of the headbutt/rock smash pokémon (Heracross, Aipom, Pineco, and Shuckle)

I acquired 3/6 of the trade pokémon, Steelix, Slowking, and Politoed- still missing Porygon 2, Kingdra, and Scizor.

Yanma was a massive challenge to catch! It’s a 1% spawn in one location only. Thankfully not ANYWHERE as hard as Gen I Tauros. That was... soul crushing. 

Got all of the Unown forms! this wasn’t too tough, but was a little annoying because they can flee. Still, nice to have completed!

You may have noticed I began my search for Vivillon this week! I’m not adding them to the Week 6 graph, but I realized what an insane undertaking it was going to be, so I started early. 

So far I have Marine, Sandstorm, Icy Snow, High Plains, Modern, Ocean, and Tundra forms.

If you know anyone who has Archipelago, Continental, Elegant, Garden, Jungle, Meadow, Monsoon, Polar, River, Savanna, or Sun as their natives and can breed an egg I will be very happy. 

Also if anyone’s looking to part with their Pokéball/Fancy pattern ones those would be a fantastic addition (though I’m not counting them for the challenge).

Hopefully I’ll be able to complete the rest of the natural catches in Gen II Kanto by next week, I’m also hoping to have Gen I complete soon!
