How to start the Jump Rope Contest
To start Bulbasaur’s Jump Rope Contest in Pokopia you need to speak to Bulbasaur outside a Pokémon Center or at their home habitat and follow these simple steps:
- Find Bulbasaur outside a Pokémon Center or near their Home Habitat. You don’t have to rebuild the Pokémon Centers though, I haven't completed most of them and I could still access the event.
- Speak to them when they’ve got the 'I wanna have a contest!' bubble above their head. Follow the conversation.
- Select the 'Is a jump rope contest going on right now?' when it appears to start!
How to win the Jump Rope Contest
To win the Jump Rope Contest you need to press R to jump over Bulbasaur’s rope before it hits you in the ankles. Here are a few tips I found useful for winning the contest:
- Move the camera so it’s looking down on top of your Ditto and Bulbasaur - I found it easier to judge the jump timing this way.
- Jump when the rope is on the side facing the Pokémon Center’s door (or rubble if you’ve not rebuilt it yet).
- Look at Bulbasaur’s reactions - They usually happen when the rope speed is about to increase.
- The rope slows down suddenly at 50! - This caught me multiple times, once you’ve jumped 50 times, Bulbasaur will suddenly slow the rope down which breaks your current jumping rhythm.
- Listen to the rhythm - This can help time your jumps.
- Focus on Ditto not on the rope - I found it easier to time my jumps by focusing on Ditto and not the rope. It sounds counterintuitive, but I found it better to look at Ditto and then have the rope in my peripheral vision - once it was visible, I’d jump.
- Play with friends - The speed can be easier to contend with if you’re attempting the contest with friends, just remember you all need to be in sync to make it over the rope.
