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

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

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.

Biology

Vivillon is a butterfly-like Pokémon with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. Vivillon's thorax is an elliptical shape divided into three segments, each with a different shade of gray. Its legs are also elliptical which are black on the lower half and grayish on the upper half. Vivillon has two black, circular hands and no visible arms. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antenna. It can spread its scales to calm an opponent's fighting spirit, as shown in the anime. Its wings' pattern is affected by the climate in which it lives.

Trivia

• Vivillon is the only fully-evolved Pokémon to have the Ability Friend Guard.

Origin

Vivillon is based on a butterfly. Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on divergent evolution or possibly species mimicry. Its blocky wing patterns may be based on pixel art.

Name origin

Vivillon may be a combination of vivid and papillon (French for butterfly).

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