Get ready for the return of the Bug Out event in Pokémon Go! This exciting event, running from March 26th to 30th, features the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch, alongside a flurry of Bug-type Pokémon. Expect wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and new challenges.
Lure Modules take center stage during the Bug Out event. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but using multiple Lure Modules at a PokéStop will significantly increase the number of Pokémon appearing. Trainers will also enjoy 2x XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased Candy XL chances for those level 31 and above. Shiny hunters, rejoice! Your chances of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede are boosted.
The wild will be teeming with Bug-types, including Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, Nymble, and even the occasional Cutiefly.
Raids will feature Sizzlipede in one-star raids alongside Scyther and Nincada, while Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor dominate three-star raids. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks for Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon. A free Timed Research offers encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and a Lure Module. For even more rewards, a paid Timed Research ($2 or local equivalent) includes Heracross, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, two Premium Battle Passes, and an extra Lure Module.
New Collection Challenges await, rewarding Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters, while PokéStop Showcases highlight event Pokémon. Don't forget to grab the new Sizzlipede Boots and Scolipede Jacket from the in-game shop!
