It's official – Bounsweet Community Day has been teased! The announcement came in the form of a teaser video shared by Niantic on Twitter, featuring a Bounsweet jumping out of the bushes. The video also shows a shadow of a flying Toucannon, hinting at a potential encounter between the two Pokemon. According to the Pokemon Sun Pokedex, Toucannons are known to eat Bounsweets because of their enticing aroma.
In the teaser trailer, Bounsweet makes a surprise appearance in the last two seconds, confirming that it will be the star of the upcoming Community Day event. While Toucannon is shown in the video, it is unlikely to be part of the event itself.
The Bounsweet Community Day is scheduled to take place on May 19, 2024, from 2 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. During this event, trainers will have the opportunity to catch shiny Bounsweet, which can be evolved into shiny Steenee and shiny Tsareena. These evolutions will require a certain amount of candy, making the event even more exciting for players.
Bounsweet is a pure Grass-type Pokemon that thrives in Sunny weather conditions. It is not commonly found in the wild and is considered a unique addition to any trainer's collection. Its evolution line, consisting of Steenee and Tsareena, retains the Grass typing and gains additional Fairy and Ice-type moves.
Despite Tsareena's ranking as the 19th best Grass attacker, it is often overshadowed by other Pokemon in the same category. However, the upcoming Community Day event may give Tsareena the opportunity to shine with an exclusive move like Aromatic Mist, High Jump Kick, or Trop Kick.
During the event, players can expect bonuses such as increased duration of Incense and Lures, thematic Field Research tasks, and exclusive Photobombs. Additionally, Steenee will be featured in Tier 4 raids, and trainers can look forward to earning extra Candy, XP, and Stardust.
Overall, the Bounsweet Community Day is shaping up to be an exciting event for Pokemon GO players. Stay tuned for more updates and be prepared to catch and evolve your very own shiny Bounsweet into powerful Tsareena.
