How the Bulbasaur's jump rope contest event works in Pokémon Pokopia

As the name implies, Bulbasaur's jump rope contest is an event organized by Bulbasaur in which you must play the jump rope minigame. When you log in for the first time during the period of the event, a message will prompt saying that "a Pokémon is the talk of the town." Travel to a Pokémon Center. If you go to a rebuilt center, Professor Tangrowth will tell you that Bulbasaur is looking for you.

When you talk to Bulbasaur, it will tell you about the jump rope contest and the rules. You receive prizes based on how many successful jumps you perform, and you can also play with friends. Participating in the event in groups doesn't affect the rewards.

To start the contest, talk to Bulbasaur again and choose the "Is a jump rope contest going on right now?" option. Next, agree to try a new record to start the minigame, which involves pressing R at the right time to jump over Bulbasaur's vine.

After a certain number of jumps, Bulbasaur will change the rope's speed, so be prepared. The trickiest part is when you hit 50, because it will slow down the vine instead of making it go faster. You are rewarded according to your highest score, and you receive the prizes only once. You can play the minigame as many times as you want, so take your time.

Thanks to Serebii.net for helping us confirm the rewards for the higher scores.

The only thing on this list that is unique to the jump rope contest is the trophy, so you don't need to fret too much about getting beyond 50 points. If you want the trophy, you will need to hit 50 jumps, as you cannot use 3D printer inside the Pokémon Center to print one.
