Bulbasaur Contest Not Showing: Dates and Unlock Checks
The April 2026 contest is archived. A missing prompt today does not by itself indicate a bug. Check whether you mean that ended contest, normal Jump Rope, or a separately announced new event before changing settings.
Quick answer
The official Italian announcement gives April 19 at 5:00 a.m. to April 27, 2026 at 4:59 a.m., local time. That window has ended. The original contest also required Yawn up a storm! in Withered Wasteland.
Recommended order
- 1
Identify the exact announcement. An April article is not evidence that a contest is active today.
- 2
For the original event, check whether Yawn up a storm! was complete.
- 3
Distinguish ordinary Jump Rope dialogue from the contest and its special rewards.
- 4
If a currently announced event meets its requirements but still fails, record the version, local date, area and missing prompt before checking official support.
What not to do first
Keep the dated announcement beside the troubleshooting steps. Restarting or changing session modes cannot establish that an ended event has been announced again.

Common blockers
- The event vanished after I had already seen it once
- Compare the date of your earlier session with the event cutoff. The April contest is now archived, so disappearance after its window is expected.
- Friends can see it but I cannot
- First confirm you are discussing the same contest, date and mode. A regular Jump Rope session is not proof that the April event has reopened.
FAQ
- What is the first fix I should try?
- Check the dated announcement first. If you mean the April 2026 event, its window has already ended.
- Does this always mean the event ended?
- The April contest has ended. A different, newly announced event would need its own date and unlock checks; this page does not establish a rerun.
