Vivillon Forms
With release of X and Y, we've got introduced to a new Pokémon known as Vivillon. It's based off butterfly, bug-type, and has a variety of different forms. Of them all, which would you consider your most favorite and why? How many do you have so far, and which ones are they? Are you planning to collect them all someday, if you haven't done so already?

I collected a set of regular vivillon then turned around and collected a set of shiny ones. Any of the shiny ones are awesome because, well simply put, I love shiny pokemon. I have to say the one that isn't shiny in my current collection is also my favorite. The pokeball pattern. It took me a few days to get one that is 100 percent legit though. I got one from the 4th but there is a 50/50 chance it was a powersaves hack. After I found that out, I went on the search for one not from the 4th. I eventually got one from the 6th. I just love how that little bugger looks. I wish vivillon had better stats for competitive use though.

I love Vivillon, it's really cute and is actually pretty usable for an early Bug-type due to having better stats than most of them, notably its high Speed and Sp. Attack. The forms changing based on your region settings was a nice concept and I do hope they can introduce more new Pokemon in the future with a similar concept.
As for the one I like, I pretty much love all the different wing patterns but I just have the one Vivillon right now, and that's the River Pattern which is my native pattern. The tan and blue really look nice together. http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/vivillon-river.gif River Pattern aka this one here. It may not be the prettiest form but I still love mine, he's a beautiful boy. |

When it comes to the patterns of Vivillon, I find myself like the Icy Snow pattern. I think the reason why I like that pattern might have something to do with the fact that it reminds me of of the element controlled by characters that I collected from another franchise. Course the only Vivillon pattern that I have is the High Plains pattern. As for collecting the patterns, probably not.

FYI, we have a Scatterbug Trading Corner over in the trading area. Not trying to moderate, this is just my own thread so I'm inviting you to use it if you want to trade. :)
Icy Snow seems to be very rare for some reason. Which is strange because it's also from my province. |
The weird thing about the icy snow rarity is that it was one of the last non shiny vivillon I obtained but it was one of the first that I got as a shiny. Weird.

Ah, Vivillon. Such a unique Pokemon! I sure hope they introduce more patterns in later gens. Or maybe they could take Shellos and make it do that same deal?

Are there in fact 18 different Shiny Vivillon - and perhaps two locked ones for the bonus patterns?

Gosh, they're all so pretty, but my favorite right now is the Ocean pattern one, with the Tundra pattern being a close second. Unfortunately, I've never taken the time to hunt for any of them, even my favorite one, so the only Vivillon in my box is the regular one. :[ I should really put some effort into that, haha.

Vivillon is so nice....all those pretty patterns, and it gets Powder. I would like to say that I've collected all the patterns, but PokeBall Vivillon was only released in Paris (wtf Game Freak), and the Fancy one has yet to be released. My favorite Vivillon pattern is:

You can find the Poké Ball Vivillon in trade shops. I actually got one from there. I caution you, if you go to find one and take a trade, it may be a clone (which is accepted here as perfectly legitimate, especially by those who can't go to the event in question).
Here is what a real one looks like: Tagged "FRE" for France Pokémon Name: Prismillon (French name, see source) OT: Paris ID: 06014 Compound Eyes (mine was, but can also have Shield Dust) Stun Spore/Gust/Light Screen/Struggle Bug (nothing special in other words) Where: a Pokémon Center Lv.12 A fateful encounter (like pretty much all Events) It comes with a Classic Ribbon. |

I got it here, so I'll link that person here in case she has any questions. |
Keiran gives a good explantion "here"

I just recieved a pokeball pattern Vivillion. I really like it, so lovely. I wonder is it possible for you to breed patterns? I like all of the patterns and I like their shiny forms.

I got a Pokeball patern, and I wasn't sure at all it was legit (in fact, I was pretty sure it wasn't)
It's not French, it's italien (name Vivillon), but OT: Paris and ID: 06014. "a fateful encounter", level 12. Met in a pokemon center. Soo powersaved, but only because of the name and tag. I'm not a collector of Vivillon, I have some because of wonder trade and all, and I like it. But I want a Vivillon to EV train and play with, but I want the Icy Snow or Monsoon :( |
Vivillon does indeed have some potential in battling thanks to the powders, quiver dance, whirlwind, bug buzz and compound eyes. Its best to have a doubles partner that can cover his weakness( which are several) and provide some protection for it. For example, albeit not a good one but, I like to have greninja use mat block while vivillon uses QD, then next turn sleep powder, then followed by bug buzz/whirlwind or another QD. If you pull off two QD, WOW! its definitely going to leave a mark. I tried vivillon in a singles match and was not impressed at all though. Also don't forget to have spinner or defogger handy as vivillon hates rocks!

I loved how the forms change based on the region settings, it really helps encourage more people to connect globally to catch 'em all. As for the Poke Ball Pattern Vivillons, I do hope they can get more distributions in the future. |
