On a quest to complete the recently added Vivillon Badge in Pokémon Go and unlock all 18 of the 20 currently available forms in-game? Well, you aren’t alone.
Trainers worldwide are trying to find a few other trainers to help them collect every form, but it is proving difficult for two types of forms.

How to find Ocean and Sandstorm Vivillon forms in Pokémon Go
To find both forms for Vivillon, you must find friends from Hawaii for the Ocean variant, and UAE, Dubai, Qatar, Israel, and areas around that segment of the world to get Sandstorm. Finding other players in these places can be tricky, but luckily we have compiled a few resources that helped us get these forms easier than using sites like Twitter and Facebook to pray someone heeds your call for aid.
While there are general resources such as this Google doc on which people can share their regions and friend codes, specific places exist to find or ask for friends from certain areas.
How to find Ocean Region Friend Codes in Pokémon Go
There are multiple resources you can use to help you find players in Hawaii that can share gifts with you to get the Ocean pattern Vivillon form. Some of these include:
It’s also worth just looking around online, like on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), and searching for keywords like “hawaii pokemon go” to see who is around. With Pokémon Worlds 2024 also being in Hawaii, there will be an influx of players likely going there in August 2024 to compete or watch what’s going on, so it’s worth asking anyone you know who is attending to send you a gift while they are over there.
How to find Sandstorm Region Friend Codes in Pokémon Go
Like Hawaii, multiple resources are available for finding friends in Sandstorm regions. Don’t expect these trainers to add you back, but it is a way to make the process easier than relying on a potluck. These resources include:
- United Arab Emirates Friend Code List
- UAE Pokémon Go Facebook Group
- PoGo Guide Dubai Friend Code Sharing
- PoGo Guide Israel Friend Code Sharing
The Sandstorm one is arguably the hardest one to get out of all the different patterns, and even took me several months to find. Granted, now that the enormous number of people looking for them has died down, maybe you will have a better chance of finding players to help you.
