Pokeball Pattern Vivillon Now Available For ‘Pokemon X and Y’!

To celebrate the grand opening of the Pokemon Center online store, The Pokemon website has announced that the Pokeball patern Vivillon is now available to download as a Mystery Gift in Western copies of Pokemon X and Y.

Vivillon is a new Pokemon, introduced in the newest games as the typical three stage bug that usually shows up at the start of a trainer’s adventure. But before dismissing it as Butterfree number five, once fully evolved, its wings will display one of numerous patterns, which vary depending on where the player lives in real life. Until now, this special Pokeball patern was only available through a giveaway in France, making the pattern highly sought after. But after receiving our own version with the significantly less cool Fancy patern, and an abysmally pointless giveaway of Pinsir and Herracross that have NO special moves, (or even their Mega Stones without a special trip to GameStop), it looks like this might be the first step towards giving us event Pokemon that are actually sought after.

This giveaway will be taking place until August 12th, so you won’t have long to download it before you’ll have to say bye bye Butterfree Vivillon.
