Postcard Book

Postcard Book is a game feature in Pokémon GO, which allows the Trainer to save their Postcards. Postcards are obtained from the Gifts either from the Trainer visited PokéStops or sent from friends.


 * Postcard Book's in-game description
 * A book to collect Postcards and remember locations from your and your friends' journeys.

Viewing Postcard Book
To access the Postcard Book, Trainer either taps the Postcard Book button in Trainer's profile page or the Postcard Book image in the Item Bag.

Trainer can have up to 300 Postcards. Postcards can be sorted by recent or sender.

Selecting a Postcard can view more information of it, including the full image, location and date received. A delete button is located at the bottom right corner. The 0.251.0 update added ability to bulk delete Postcards.

Saving Postcards
To save a Postcard, tap Gifts from Item Bag or the Gifts from friends. Then tap the pin button. Please note that Trainer has to save their desired Postcards before sending or opening the Gifts.

Vivillon
Pinning a certain amount of Postcards from different regions around the world can result in an encounter with a Scatterbug that will evolve into a Spewpa, then into a Vivillon with the pattern from the region from which the Postcard originated. Making progress by pinning Gifts the player collect can only be done three times per day.

Progress can be tracked from the Vivillon Collector medal in the Trainer's profile page. The first encounter of each pattern requires 3 pinned Postcards, then increases to 9, and ends at 15 for every future encounter.

Note that some areas in the world do not make progress on the Vivillon Collector medal.
