Pokémon Scarlet & Violet x Pokémon GO Connectivity

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, with its Version 1.2 update, added connectivity to Pokémon GO. This connectivity is a one way connection featuring sending items, specifically post cards, from Pokémon GO to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

To connect, you will have to go to Mystery Gift and select the Pokémon GO connection. From there, you will be able to pair Pokémon GO to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet using Bluetooth.

In Pokémon GO, you will then be able to send Postcards from your Postcard book over from Pokémon GO to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and you can do this just once per day. Doing this will give you a selection of Gimmighoul Coins and items, but there are a few additional effects.

Gimmighoul Roaming Form

When you connect with Pokémon GO, it gives Pokémon GO the special Coin Bag item. This item will give players the ability to get the mysterious Pokémon Gimmighoul in its Roaming Form. Its Roaming Form is exclusive to Pokémon GO through this method so you'll need to catch it in Pokémon GO and transfer it through Pokémon HOME to get Gimmighoul Roaming Form into Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Vivillon

Vivillon is the change that is implemented in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. When you send a postcard to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet from Pokémon GO, it will change your game so that all Scatterbug, Spewpa and Vivillon encounters will become the Vivillon pattern associated with the location from the post card in Pokémon GO.

This will last for 24 hours until the Scatterbug, Spewpa and Vivillon revert back into the Fancy Pattern.
