How to catch Bounsweet in Pokemon Go

The easiest way to catch Bounsweet is to go out exploring and find one in the wild, although it’s worth pointing out that Bounsweet is listed as a rare encounter, so your chances of finding one this way will probably be quite slim.

However, the May 2024 Community Day will give you a much better chance at adding Bounsweet to your Pokedex.

Remember to check the Nearby feature to see if there are any Bounsweet at landmarks near your current location. You can also use Incense to increase the number of wild spawns as you explore.

How to evolve Bounsweet in Pokemon Go

Once you’ve collected 25 Candy, you can evolve Bounsweet into Steenee. With 100 Candy, you can evolve Steenee into Tsareena.

If you’re struggling to save enough Candy, you can also set Bounsweet as your Buddy Pokemon, and it will find Candy as you go out exploring together. Luckily, you can gather Candy at a quicker rate during the May 2024 Community Day.

Can Bounsweet be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
