Pokemon GO Bellsprout Community Day Special Research Story, Field Research & PokeStop Showcases

Players who’d like to purchase the Special Research Story for this Community Day can do so for 1 USD or local equivalent. The paid ticket earns you access to this special research, which will include additional tasks to earn some rewards, not to mention a sprinkle of plot for the day.

Bellsprout Community Day will also feature themed Field Research to earn rewards, including more Bellsprout encounters, Stardust, Great Balls, and other rewards.

While you spin those PokeStops to get your Field Research tasks, keep an eye out for PokeStop showcases where you can show off your best and biggest Bellsprout.

Pokemon GO Bellsprout Community Day Bonus Raid Battles

After Community Day ends, players will have access to special bonus raids from 5 PM to 10 PM local time on Saturday, April 20.

These Four-Star Raids will feature Weepinbell and cannot be joined using remote raid passes. Successfully winning your Raid against Weepinbell will cause additional Bellsprout spawns around that gym for the next half hour.
