Pokémon Go Bulbasaur Community Day January 2022: rewards, bonuses, & everything we know

Bringing back the classics!

As a surprise for its players, Pokémon Go developer Niantic has decided to host a second Community Day in January 2022 a week after Spheal's on Jan. 16. Bulbasaur, the first Pokémon in the Pokédex, will return for its own Community Day on Saturday, Jan. 22!

The Community Day hours will be cut short and will provide players only three hours to collect all the Bulbasaurs they can, as compared to the usual six. The event's official time slot is from 2pm to 5pm local time. Local time means that this schedule does not adjust for time zones—no matter where you are in the world, it will always be hosted from 2pm to 5pm on Jan. 22.

During the event, Bulbasaur will appear far more often in the wild, giving trainers a chance to collect dozens (even over a hundred, if you're diligent) of Bulbasaurs, and hopefully evolve them to a mega powerful Venusaur. Perhaps one of the most important things to know is that if you evolve an Ivysaur (Bulbasaur's second form) to a Venusaur between the hours of 2pm and 7pm, it will automatically learn the powerful Grass charged attack Frenzy Plant.

Here are the rest of the features that will be presented during the Bulbasaur Community Day:

  • Special Research: The Special Research story Bulbasaur Community Day Classic will be available for purchase in the game shop for $1 USD and can be completed during the event's timeframe.
  • Bonuses: There will be 3x Catch XP, 3-hour Incense and Lures, and special surprises in Snapshots during the event.
  • Free Bundle: A free bundle will be available in the shop during the event that gives you 30 Ultra Balls
  • Community Day Bundle: A one-time-purchase bundle that costs 1,280 PokéCoins will be available in the shop that contains 50 Ultra Balls, five Lucky Eggs, five Star Pieces, and an Elite Charged TM.

That's everything there is to know about this exciting surprise event!
