Date source
Bulbasaur's Jump Rope Contest is tracked as upcoming with the displayed window Sep 2026 20-28. Use that dated window before spending materials or planning an exchange route.
Reward path
This event page links 0 Pokemon, 0 habitats, 1 item, and 0 exchange rewards so you can choose the actual target before grinding.
Next steps
Start with Update, set the current date, then talk to Bulbasaur. If a prerequisite is missing, pause the event grind and clear the blocker first.
After event
The event is upcoming; use this page to prepare materials, prerequisites, and route notes before the window opens.
Island mode
This event has an explicit Cloud Island note in the guide. Read it carefully: Main Island progress still owns the event route, while Cloud Islands are only valid when the guide names them.
How To Start
Download update Ver. 2.0.1, set the Nintendo Switch 2 date and time to the real current date, and start the game while connected to the internet.
During the event window, talk to Bulbasaur in front of a Pokemon Center to join the contest.
The event becomes available after completing the Pasapasa Wasteland town wish "Make It Rain with a Yawn." If you meet that condition during the window, move to another town or quit to the main menu once.
Mechanics
Players can join the contest together in another player's town or on a Cloud Island.
In another player's town, the highest score becomes that town's record and prizes go to the host only. On a Cloud Island, all players can participate, but only the player with the highest score receives the prize.
To play on a Cloud Island, that island must already be friends with Bulbasaur. The event does not occur in Bubbly Basin.
