How to get Pewpa in Pokémon GO

In its latest attempt to connect trainers around the world, the entire evolution line for Pewpa has made its Pokémon GO debut.

Perhaps the highlight of the new promotion is that Pewpa’s final evolution, Vivillon, has 18 different patterns for trainers to collect. The catch, however, is that each Vivillon pattern is said to be influenced by the climate of their habitat, meaning that Pewpa from different regions evolve into Vivillon with different patterns.

So here is a breakdown of how to get Pewpa in Pokémon GO.

To get Pewpa in Pokémon GO, trainers must first catch his first stage evolution, Scatterbug. To secure Scatterbug encounters, Trainers must pin postcards they receive from a friend in another region. If you collect several postcards from a certain part of the world, you can encounter a scatterbug specifically from that habitat.

More specifically, if you pin a postcard you receive from a friend, you’ll make progress towards the Vivillon Medal, which is linked to that location via Sub-Medals. Trainers can pin their own postcards (up to three of their own per day) as well as postcards they receive from friends. These submedals are associated with the various Vivillon pattern regions.

The first sub-medal requires collecting three postcards from a region associated with the Vivillon patterns. After completing a sub-medal, trainers can progress further toward that sub-medal to earn additional encounters with Scatterbug. The number of postcards required to increase sub-medal rank increases with each rank.

Once you’ve caught a Scatterbug, it only takes 25 candies to evolve it into Spewpa.

As part of the new Vivillon patterns, trainers in the community are inviting others to share their friend codes on social media to help each other obtain Scatterbug and ultimately Pewpa from other regions.
