The much-anticipated Bug Out event is making its return to Pokémon Go, running from March 26th to 30th. This exciting event will flood the game with Bug-type Pokémon and introduce the new faces of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch. Get ready for a thrilling adventure filled with wild encounters, engaging raids, rewarding bonuses, and fresh challenges that will keep you on your toes.
Lure Modules will be your best friend during the Bug Out event. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but if enough Pokémon are caught using a single Lure Module, it will also increase the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop. This is a fantastic way to boost your encounters and make the most of the event.
You'll also benefit from double XP for Nice Throws or better, along with extra Candy and increased Candy XL chances for trainers level 31 and up. Shiny hunters, rejoice! Your chances of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede will be higher during this event.
The wild will be buzzing with Bug-types, featuring frequent appearances from Pokémon like Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Keep an eye out for the elusive Cutiefly, which might just show up if luck is on your side.
Sizzlipede will make its debut in one-star raids, joining Scyther and Nincada. Meanwhile, Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor will dominate the three-star raids. Completing event-themed Field Research tasks will reward you with Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research, which includes encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, along with a Lure Module. For those looking for extra rewards, there's a Paid Timed Research option available for $2 (or the local equivalent), offering encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, plus two Premium Battle Passes and an additional Lure Module.
New Collection Challenges await, rewarding you with Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters. Additionally, PokéStop Showcases will highlight event-themed Pokémon. And don't forget to check out the in-game shop for the new Sizzlipede Boots and a Scolipede Jacket to complete your Bug Out look!
