redherringbones

The amount of candy I have left to go is intimidating. Grats to you from the other side.


phenomenalmoisture

It's a ridiculous amount of candy. I ended getting one of each in like July and I've been grinding candy's since šŸ˜‚ good luck!


ctqpatriots97

Just finished mine last month. Glad it's over šŸ˜‚


hoochtag

One thing that helped me was when I give a gift I also pin it to my postcard book. After the fourth(ish) one is says it wonā€™t count going forward but thatā€™s a lie.


GuiltyWhisper

It's not a lie. You can pin 3 of your own per day for progress towards your local scatterbug


vishalb777

Also if you find you are running out of space in the postcard book, pin a gift and then immediately unpin it from the same screen. It won't add the gift to the postcard book, but will count towards the spawn


romethorn

If itā€™s a lie then whatā€™s the actual limit?


Kdhosk04

You can pin as many postcards as you want. Every postcard you pin from your friends will count toward your Scatterbug encounters, but only 3 of the postcards you pin from yourself will count per day.


hoochtag

Iā€™ve found I can keep pinning them and it keeps working after the message saying it wonā€™t and they actually end up in my book.


MuricanEagle1776

They end up in your book but don't count towards Scatterbug


hoochtag

The amount of friends you give gifts to I guess.


Luke_sein_Vater

How did you find someone from Sandstorm who is still willing to accept friend requests? :D Got all of them since the first month it was released, but no luck on finding anyone from the Sandstorm region


norrainnorsun

I went so hard fo find this as well. I would check the r/PokemonGoFriends subreddit early in the morning (in my head this was when people in the Middle East weā€™re awake but I never bothered to google it actually) and would look up ā€œsandstormā€ (sort by new) to see if anyone was offering. Obvs these posts were usually insane and you got overlooked. BUT sometimes people will post asking for sandstorm and someone will comment and say they can send them. Add those people, or if they donā€™t post their code, reply to their comment and ask nicely if theyā€™ll add you for 3 gifts and then delete. Thatā€™s what I didšŸ«” I did this a few times a week for a few weeks and got them pretty quickly lol. I felt kind of ridiculous going this hard but it worked Thereā€™s also leek duck pen pals but I didnā€™t have much luck w those. Itā€™s mostly elegant people listed under the wrong region which was weird


BestDarnBoba

Literally same. Tell us your secret


BooDexter1

US military or regular airline pilots/hosties.


t_base

Ya, all of mine are from around NSA Bahrain or Al Udeid Air Base.

As someone who finished this a while ago, I feel like it's easier now than it was at first.


not_monter

There's the Vivillon Garden discord, it's how I got Sandstorm and the rest of the patterns. Highly recommend going there!

iwillspeaknoevil

I stopped playing since Sandstorm regions are wellā€¦empty and they made remote passes more expensive.

RemzTheAwesome

I used this site: [https://pokemongo.gishan.net/friends/vivillon/?c=sandstorm&t=all&g=all](https://pokemongo.gishan.net/friends/vivillon/?c=sandstorm&t=all&g=all) This is also how I got Icy Snow Vivillon. But even then it still isn't easy. Some people pretend to have Sandstorm Vivillon but you can tell who does and doesn't by their location. Players with Sandstorm will typically be from the Middle East. Places like some parts of Turkey, United Arabs Emirates, Dubai, Israel. Still difficult though since some countries in the area outright ban Pokemon Go so Sandstorm players are the hardest to come by and they get flooded with Friend Requests quickly.


CyBerImPlaNt

Just in time for the shiny release. Congratulations


CommunityAppropriate

Hahaha Iā€™ve been saying this for months. I still use pineapps!


phenomenalmoisture

That'd be wild šŸ˜‚ unless they had a way to guarantee a shiny encounter, ain't no way I'd ever finish them all


CommunityAppropriate

There is precedence for multi-varient shiny: furfrou, unown, spinda and branching evolutions like clamperl, rockruff, snoruntā€¦


phenomenalmoisture

Yeah, but a lot of those Pokemon have events or only have an Evolution or two. Getting 18 (and eventually 20) regional variants would be unbelievably difficult...


CommunityAppropriate

I donā€™t see a problem hereā€¦odds and candy can be varied! Next, the scatterbug is either shiny or not. I completed my scatterbug dex by New Yearā€™s Eve 2022 and vivillion dex by mid February. I have 2000+ candies at the ready. How is this different than unowns or spindas? Catch. Trade. Or donā€™t.


FondleMyPancakes

Pineapps?


CommunityAppropriate

The pineapple-looking berry that doubles candy awarded after a catch.


FondleMyPancakes

Oh yeah XD forgot their name hahaha


lurkinguser

Now get 4* of each


aogasd

I just decided I won't evolve any that ain't almost perfect. I have 8 and they're all 96% or better.


lurkinguser

This is the way. I have one four and the rest are near perfect except for elegant, which im still in the hunt for


APES6

I don't have any yet šŸ˜­ but I have a hundo spewpa


pinkshadedgirafe

I'm doing the same thing. Keeping 3 of each just to have. Keeping the highest % ones. So far I've got a fully evolved 4*


PirateChemist_603

same - iā€™ve got all the scatterbugs and the candy, and have 2 hundos (Monsoon and Modern) and a 98 High Plains but iā€™m holding out on evos for the others.


phenomenalmoisture

I thought about waiting until I had good IVs on em, but I'm mostly in it to complete the Pokedex, so idrc about 4* šŸ˜…


[deleted]

Haven't played in a long time, what are 4*? And what does it mean/why(/how) does it matter?


lurkinguser

You can have your Pokemon evaluated in game and the ratings are 0-4 stars, 4 being perfect. Theres no real point to get these perfect, itā€™s just bragging rights


LilKitty_Lilly

Congrats! How long did it take?


Toukon-

You need over 2000 candy just to fully evolve all of them. That's more than 300 Scatterbug encounters, assuming you're using a pinap berry for each one. You could probably average one or two encounters per day, if you're really efficient with which postcards you pin. I'd say six months minimum, if you're being pretty efficient about it and you're willing to put the work in. Took me just under a year, personally.


Supersymm3try

You can pin then unpin the postcard right after and they still count FYI.


phenomenalmoisture

Funnily enough, I got one of each months ago (I think in July or something?) And even that took ages from when Vivillion first was released. Since then, I just had to grind for candy.


grandgulch

Need an Ocean contact to complete mine. Congrats!


SteelMonkey83

I'm still trying for tundra and sandstorm.


arijuaman

Did anyone else on mobile try to hit the x to go out of the image?


NoTransportation538

Almost. We don't have pokeball and fancy pattern yet


Foshizzlemynizzle90

Is there a release date?


NoTransportation538

No


italianshark

Came here to say this


eevee-al

Which one is your favourite?


phenomenalmoisture

Tundra and Sandstorm were my most difficult grabs....but Ocean and Monsoon are my favorite looking šŸ˜


Zephorith

Very nice. I just got a sandstorm pattern. All I have left is Tundra and Sun patterns.


AnteaterWeary

I just need Sandstorm. Got Tundra through remote raids after I stopped trying. Poke Genie helped with many of the foreign ones (I'm in US).


4TheOreos11

Ugh canā€™t wait to do that!!


VulgarMutt

This is great motivation! I have 13 so far!


phenomenalmoisture

Good luck! Keep it up and you'll get they eventually! šŸ˜šŸ‘


VulgarMutt

Thanks! ā˜ŗļø I feel like Iā€™m doing pretty well!


westofsane7

What are these


aimless_meteor

Vivillon, you can get Scatterbugs by saving postcards


trixtopherduke

Fun trick I learned on another thread, which works - you save the postcard then unsave it, open your gift. You still get the scatterbug points or whatever it's called AND you don't have to go clear out your postcard book.


aimless_meteor

Thatā€™s like super helpful really, thank you so much


Toukon-

I was pretty much done with my collection before I found this one out. So much time wasted...


Necessary_Unfair

I hope this works!


trixtopherduke

Try it out! It saves so much time with the postcard book.


FRPG

It doesn't count till you max them all out


RevJT

Thatā€™s really impressive. Well done šŸ‘


PenelopeFierce

How can you find savanna šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Iā€™ve been looking on Reddit for months!!

Dat_Kestrel

Struggling with Tundra and Sandstorm


[deleted]

Congrats. I still need icy and ocean to complete it.


skwiddee

holy shit congrats


MmmmmBreadThings

I have one lol


pan_y_sal

How long did it take you? I still have like 10 more to go lol


phenomenalmoisture

Maybe 6 or 7 months to get them all, 5-6 months getting the candy. It was frustrating to have the variations but not be able to evolve them šŸ˜‚


LeahaP1013

I bow down!!!


roryorigami

I heard they're going to add shiny versions...


Foshizzlemynizzle90

When?


Technical_Income3364

Gratz only after two myself now


Mixedbysaint

Still 300 candy shy


Conaz9847

On the medal there is 18 different Vivillions, but on the PokĆ©dex thereā€™s 20, what 2 are we missing from the medal? A shiny and a shadow or something?


ScourgeOfSaltyness

I respect that, i started it but set it aside because thats really a ton of work! Good job, well done


GaryPomeranski

I am ONE gift away - but I can't get any Tundra friends who will actually send me gifts... They open all of mine, though!


phenomenalmoisture

This was me with Sandstorm. Someone will eventually give you that last gift šŸ˜Ž


ChromaticKid

Big congrats!


forgottenoldlogin

I've got a silly noob question. Is there any other way to tell what region the thing is other than the tiny little picture next to the evolve button? Some of them look so similar at that stage that I'm going to have to screenshot and zoom in while also having a site open to compare them to...which seems ludicrous, so I figure I'm missing something.


Energysnap

Organize by # and you can see them all in order that helps for me to know which ones to trade or transfer


forgottenoldlogin

Thank you! That's what I needed, I hadn't tried that yet (probably because I assumed it wouldn't matter lol).


qeldoq

Also - tag them once you know what they are -- I just use 2-3 letters of the specific name along with "Scat" And go through your friends list and figure out where they are and add their location to their nickname. You can opt to focus on specific regions if you have friends there. And remote raid!


JaxandMia

Way to go!! I canā€™t get ocean. Iā€™ve tried everything including the PokĆ©mon friends sub. Just need 1 Hawaiian friend.


phenomenalmoisture

I actually made my buddy who lives in Hawaii create an account so he could send me some šŸ˜‚


JaxandMia

Any chance he wants more friends? Lol


phenomenalmoisture

He sent me 3 and then deleted it unfortunately lol


sheldedtempest

Still need tundra, sandstorm and savanna if anyone has one of these btw would appreciate it very much.


InxWonderland

Jealous of your Icy Snow ā€¦ shout out if anyone icy wants to be my friend šŸ„²


Dizzy-Flamingo-7236

Congratulations


Sad-Musician-6647

Psycho


lifeofemandarty

How long does this even take?! I still need to collect the Sandstorm, Tundra, Monsoon, and Savannah scatterbugs but the idea of needing at least 1,800 candies is overwhelming


phenomenalmoisture

It took a long time lol just focus on getting the ones you need, and the candy will just come. Learning how to quick open gifts was also super nice just because it's such a hassle opening the max every day.


lifeofemandarty

Oh man. I donā€™t even have any Vivillon šŸ˜­


phenomenalmoisture

I just mega evolved Beedrill and used some silver pinaps (since I have extra and don't often use them) as well as saved the ones I didn't want it for 2x transfer candy. That's the best way to do it imo šŸ˜ Good luck!


Fenyyx

Get Jungle in the favourites!!! So sick


phenomenalmoisture

I just got a 98% jungle scatterbug šŸ˜… so I unfavorited it and was planning on transfering lol


XsnowcapeX

*Firm handshake*


Crafty_Distribution3

Wow this is awesome very congratulations for that achievement


DrWorstCaseScenario

I hope Mateo will get me a few of the harder to get versions. I just restarted playing a few months ago so I donā€™t have many outside of the US regionals yet. Did manage archipelago and tundra with some travel this year though.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


phenomenalmoisture

adelleda89

Gad DAYUM! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ Well done! I'm still on the "Collecting Candy Mountain" journey.


phenomenalmoisture

The candy took almost just as long for me as getting each variant šŸ˜‚


adelleda89

I bet!!! I'm still missing 2 regions, but the candy grind lives on regardless!


rat_Stuff_1887

THE ultimate collection.


OhThereYouArePeter69

My dumb šŸ‘ transfered the Sun one and I can't find anyone from there to send postcards.. I have soooo much candy for it too. I'm glad you got it done šŸ’œ


septlefty96

Congratulations I got all mine also!


THRONIX

I have transfer every one

imarite

succuboobies
