Vivillon (Japanese: ビビヨン Viviyon) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
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. For a partial list of real-world Vivillon pattern locations, see List of Pokémon with form differences → Vivillon.
Biology
Vivillon is a butterfly-like Pokémon with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antennae. The tips of the antennae each have an ovoid scale that is dark gray on the upper half and beige on the lower half. Vivillon's thorax is an ovoid and divided into three segments; each segment is a different shade of gray. Its legs are also ovoid and are dark gray on the lower half, beige on the upper half, and have a black band in the middle. It has two black, circular hands and no visible arms.
While Vivillon's wings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, they always have black edges and pixelated markings. Its wings' pattern is affected by the climate in which it lives. It can spread its scales to calm an opponent's fighting spirit, as shown in the anime. Vivillon is the only known Pokémon capable of learning Powder by level-up.

Pokémon Adventures
Viola owns a Meadow Pattern Vivillon that she uses in her Gym. It first appeared in PS554.
In PS570 and PS571, fifteen Sky Trainers were hypnotized by Malva and used fifteen Vivillon, each with a different Pattern. The Vivillon Patterns which debuted were the Archipelago, Continental, Elegant, Garden, High Plains, Icy Snow, Jungle, Modern, Monsoon, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun, and Tundra Patterns. The leader of these Sky Trainers, Yvette, has mentioned that she has 18 of the Vivillon Patterns, including the Poké Ball and Fancy Patterns. After their defeat and no longer being hypnotized the Vivillon safely land the Sky Trainers down in PS572. Yvette later uses a Marine Pattern Vivillon with her other Vivillon and in conjunction with Viola's Meadow Pattern Vivillon.

Origin
Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on Papilio dardanus which is known for having over 14 known morphs, each of which mimics a different distasteful species of butterfly (see: Polymorphism_(biology)). Its block-like wing patterns may be based on pixel art.
Name origin
Vivillon may be a combination of vivid and papillon (French for butterfly) or brillant (French for brilliant).
Viviyon may be a combination of 美 bi (beauty), vivid, and papillon or brillant.
