Running from 2pm to 5pm local time on April 20, Bellsprout Community Day offers you the usual spread of Pokémon Go CD event bonuses paired with a few fresh pieces of content to benefit the rapidly sprouting Flower Pokémon. For example, Bellsprout will be spawning more frequently during the event period with a new move available for Victribel, and you have an increased chance to encounter a Shiny too.

There is event-exclusive Special Research up for grabs if you want some extra goodies, so you should try to keep up with everything on offer for the Bellsprout Community Day.
