How to catch shiny Bellsprout in Pokémon Go?

According to old research by the website The Silph Road (via The machine goes back and forth), The shiny odds during Community Day are about 1 in 24, meaning that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour time frame, you'll find quite a few shiny Pokémon.

If you're short on time or don't have a Poké Ball, you can pop it Smellthen quickly Tap each Bellsprout to check the shiny ones, run from the non-shiny ones. Notably, any Bellsprout you have pressed will be facing where your player is standing, so that will help determine which ones you may have checked.

What moves does Bellsprout's evolution learn during Community Day?

If you evolve Weepinbell into Victreebel between 2pm and 10pm your local time, it will learn Quick Move Magic Leaf.

If you miss evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during the Community Day weekend event in December to receive the Magic Leaf. If you don't want to wait, you can use it TM essence to get moving.

How does Victreebel work in the Pokémon Go meta?

Friend Maybe Use Victreebel in raids and gyms with Magical Leaf and Leaf Blade, but know that it's on the bottom tier when it comes to grass-type attackers. It's usable and okay, but it's outclassed by the much things like Kartana and any grass-type starter Pokémon. Victreebel may be better as a poison-type attacker, even more so as Dark Victreebel, but it still loses out to popular choices like Roserade or Mega Beedrill.

JRE47 PvP Expert states that Magical Leaf is an improvement to Victreebel in PvP, giving it an advantage against regular opponents, especially if it is a Dark Victreebel.

In addition to all of this, Niantic is still running special four-star raids from 5-10pm, where if you complete the Weepinbell raid, Bellsprout will appear in a 300 meter radius around the room exercise for 30 minutes.
