The headliner for Pokemon Go’s April 2024 Community Day is the Grass/Poison-type Bellsprout! Here’s everything you need to know about the event, including event times, exclusive moves, Shiny availability, and the list of all previous Community Day stars.

The Community Day is a monthly event in Pokemon Go that focuses on a specific Pokemon, with boosted wild spawns, increased Shiny chances, exclusive moves when evolved, and bonuses like extended Incense duration.

Community Days now last for three hours and always take place on the weekend so that most players can get involved. They’re some of the most popular events in the Pokemon Go Calendar, alongside Spotlight Hours.

Below, you’ll find plenty of information to help you make the most of the April 2024 Community Day event, which stars Bellsprout.

Players who evolve a Weepinbell during event hours (or up to five hours after) will get a Victreebel that knows the Grass-type Quick Move Magical Leaf. This attack has 10 power in trainer battles and 16 power when fighting Gyms or Raids.

Pokemon Go April Community Day bonuses

The following bonuses will be in effect during April Community Day event hours:

  • 3x Stardust for catching Pokemon
  • 2x Candy for catching Pokemon
  • 2x Candy XL chance
  • Lure Modules & Incense will last three hours
  • Snapshot surprise
  • One extra Special Trade during the event*
  • Trades will require 50% less Stardust.*

Bonuses marked with * will be active from 2 pm through 10 pm local time

Weepinbell appears in 4-Star Raids after Community Day ends

Although the April Community Day ends at 5 PM, trainers can enjoy special 4-Star Raid Battles with Weepinbell until 10 PM.

If you win one of these Raid Battles, additional Bellsprout will appear around the Gym that hosted the Raid for the next 30 minutes.

Be aware that these bonus 4-Star Raid Battles cannot be accessed with Remote Raid Passes, so you must attend them in person.

How to prepare for Pokemon Go Bellsprout Community Day

If you’re going to take part in a Community Day, there are a few things you can do to prepare and get the most out of the event:

  • Purchase Incense to use on the day as they will last longer than usual.
  • Save any Lure Modules you have, as they will last for three hours during the event.
  • Stock up on lots of Ultra Balls so you can catch plenty of the headline Pokemon.
  • Transfer any unwanted Pokemon in advance so you’ll have space for all the catching you’ll do.
  • Check the bonuses that run during the event so you can take advantage of them.

There will also be a ticket for the April Community Day Special Research story available to purchase from the in-game shop closer to the event date.

You may notice that every December headliner is missing from this list. That’s because, in December, Niantic featured every Pokemon from the past year as headliners at the same time.

Alongside all of these Community Days, there have been a few Community Day Classics that bring back old headliners. Most recently, Pokemon Go held a Community Day Classic featuring Bagon on April 7, 2024.
