Pokémon Go Bellsprout Community Day Guide

Pokémon Go is hosting a Bellsprout Community Day event April 20th from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. your local time.

As expected at a Community Day event, Bell sprouts will appear in large numbers Pokémon Go with a high probability that it will appear shiny. There are also some other bonuses and perks that we have listed below.

How to catch a Shiny Bell Sprout in Pokémon Go?

According to old research from the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback machine

), Shiny rates on Community Days are around 1 in 24, meaning that if you keep playing during the three-hour window, you should find quite a few Shiny Pokémon.

Shiny Bellsprout, Weepinbell and Victreebel with their regular forms. Shiny Bellsprout gets yellow leaves, Weepinbell gets a green hue, and Victreebel gets a green-brown makeover with blue lips.

If you’re short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop one incensethen quickly Tap each bell sprout to look for shiny ones and run away from anything that isn’t shiny. In particular, any bell rungs you’ve already tapped will appear where your player is standing, making it easier to see which bell rungs you may have already checked.

What Community Day step does Bellsprout’s development learn?

If you evolve Weepinbell into Victreebel between 2:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. your local time, it will learn the Magic Leaf fast move.

If you don’t evolve it during this period, you can probably evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Magical Leaf. If you don’t want to wait, you can do the move with an Elite TM.

How does Victreebel fare in the Pokémon Go meta?

You may Use Victreebel in raids and gyms with Magical Leaf and Leaf Blade, but be aware that it is at the bottom with Grass attackers. It’s usable and fine, but it’s overshadowed many

Things like Kartana and any Grass starter Pokemon. Victreebel may be better as a poison attacker, even more so if it’s a shadow Victreebel, but it still falls behind popular picks like Roserade or Mega Beedrill.

PvP expert JRE47 says that Magical Leaf is an improvement for Victreebel in PvP, giving him an advantage over common opponents, especially when dealing with a Shadow Victreebel.

How do I make the most of Bellsprout Community Day?

The following bonuses will be active during Bellsprout Community Day:

If you can Mega development Venusaur, Beedrill, Gengar, Sceptile, Groudon, or AbomasnowYou will receive additional Bellsprout candies per catch.

Additionally, Niantic is still running special four-star raids from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., where if you complete the Weepinbell raid, Bellsprout will spawn within a 300-meter radius of the gym for 30 minutes. These raids cannot be carried out remotely. If you don’t get the Bell Sprout you want with the usual 2-5pm spawn increase, you can try raiding to get another chance.
