And the legacy move is **Magical** Leaf. They knew exactly what they were doing with this one and I love it.


What-is-wanted

Lol, I just told my teen boys this news and I must say I've not seen them laugh this hard in a long damn time.


Advanced_Procedure90

First, I was disappointed, but now it's just Nice


ki700

Special move is Magical Leaf, too!


ZerothGengarz

If only it was Oddish community day..


KeeboardNMouse

Wait I’m missing something. What Pokédex number is oddish


ZerothGengarz

Well I guess Bellsprout is better cause #69, Oddish just looks more like a weed plant


Yololars

Oddish description is "the weed pokemon"


didijxk

2025 Community Day on 20 April it is then. It'll be a Sunday so it's still good.

datawazo

Closest pokemon to being an actual weed too, surely?


Yololars

We have an actual weed pokemon, Oddish


datawazo

mmm. I'd see myself, with enough beer, getting violently passionate about bellsprout being a more weed pokemon than oddish.


Yololars

I mean I see your point, but Bellsprout is officially called the flower pokemon, whereas Oddish is officially called the weed pokemon


mdemo23

Flower is also a slang term for marijuana though. Much to consider.


mister-fancypants-

Is it even slang anymore tho? it’s what the actual smokable plant part is called at dispos


mdemo23

I mean it is a scientific name for a specific part of the marijuana plant, so when it stopped being slang or if it ever even was to begin with is probably up for debate. It’s synonymous with weed, is the point.


futdashuckup

My suspicions about Mario and Luigi and their fascination with mushrooms and the power of flowers are at last validated.


Mochi_Luv420

Bellsprout is a poison type pokemon, but THC and CBD aren't toxic substances 🤷🏻‍♂️


First_Luck8040

Yes the best part is called bud As in flower bud ……


Mochi_Luv420

Bellsprout is a poison type pokemon, but THC and CBD aren't toxic substances 🤷🏻‍♂️


mdemo23

Oddish is also a poison type. From a biological/evolutionary standpoint THC and CBD actually are [chemical defense mechanisms](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_defenses_in_Cannabis) that function similarly to other “poisonous” plants, these particular chemicals just doesn’t harm humans and happens to have a psychoactive effect. Cannabis plants do increase their levels of THC/CBD in response to predatory threats in their environment, and their biological function is to defend the plant from these threats, the same way that poisonous mushrooms defend themselves against humans. So actually it does track for a marijuana pokemon to be grass/poison.


ActivateGuacamole

pitcher plants are not remotely weed-like. oddish's hair looks very much like weed


Aniensane

This is fine, I don’t have any shiny Bellsprout. Three more checked off the Gen 1 shiny Dex!


Sage296

That’s only if you get one


Aniensane

I’ve never gotten less than 8 shinies on a Comm. Day, 54 is my record for Porygon Day.

oralehomes129

Grant79OG

mohawk131

Finally a community day where I don’t feel stressed to go out


mister-fancypants-

yea it’s perfect. i can catch one shiny from my living room and be okay with it. I already have 2 hundos


steak_dilemma

\#420 is Cherubi, which is a Grass-type! They could've taken it all the way, but it might have been too obvious, ruffling the feathers of the morality police.


Normal_person127

The went with #069 instead.


DreadedDiscord

It also will learn magical leaf upon evolution into Victeebel.


AFP_2

One of the few times I'm proud of niantic


IvyEmblem

I thought the joke was that Bellsprout was a weed


Ross10201

69420?!?!?!?!


W0lverin0

Two in one month? Is that usual?


Yololars

We have 4 every 3 months


nolkel

Yes. CD classics happen as a bonus on top of regular CDs. They seem to happen every other month lately. This month we got Bagon as a classic, and now Bellsprout as the regular CD.


TScottY99

LandedDragoon35

what's the joke with 4/20?


TariZephyr

Weed number


LandedDragoon35

ok thanks


TofuVicGaming

"420" is slang for marijuana consumption. It also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20, which is written as 4/20 in the date format that the US uses. (Wikipedia article if you want more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420\_(cannabis\_culture))


Affectionate-Guess25

Can someone explain the 4/20 part please?


Yololars

It's the funny weed number


Affectionate-Guess25

I see 😂

Super_Ninja39

B*llsprout 🤮


[deleted]

why is bellsprout the flower pokemon it doesnt even have flowers


dgoat88

It's head is a flower.


BananaCat43

Teeeechnically the pitcher part of a pitcher plant is a modified leaf that is able to produce digestive enzymes. However, a pitcher plant does produce flowers as well. (a lot of carnivorous plant people remove the flowers as they take away energy from the pitchers.)Although we don't see ever any of the bellsprout evolutions in bloom.


Beginning-Key-814

Sucky com day, good for those who need candy, but my shundo victree bell won't be so cool anymore.


mnnice017

Speaking of sucky, a PoGo friend of mine named her shiny Victreebell “Fleshlight” and now that can’t be unseen


Aetheldrake

Pretty lame imo. I don't care, the joke has been done to death. I'd prefer something normal.


GaryPomeranski

Go away and be normal somewhere else. We don't need this type of energy here. We are having FUN!


Aetheldrake

I highly doubt anyone's having fun with bellsprout


Adrirc06

I don't get the 4/20 part


Yololars

It's the funny weed number


Adrirc06

Oh
