How to get it
- The Postcard Book is available through your profile and inventory.
- Pin a Postcard from a Gift before opening it or sending it away.
How to use it
- Open the book to browse saved Postcards and manage its separate storage.
- Postcards can also be sent to Pokémon Scarlet or Violet after linking the games.
Worth knowing
Pinning eligible Postcards contributes to the corresponding Vivillon region progress.
Postcard capacity is separate from ordinary Item Bag capacity; manage the book or obtain a Postcard storage upgrade when it fills.
The saved location matters for Vivillon
Postcards contribute to Vivillon’s regional collection system. It is the Gift’s geographic origin that contributes toward a region’s Scatterbug encounters; the friend’s current location is not what determines the Postcard’s region.
Mateo’s Route-end Gift exchange provides another way to encounter Postcards from elsewhere. The exchanged Gift does not come out of your held Gift inventory. Review the Postcard before opening or clearing it if you want to preserve the location in your collection.
