The Bug Out event is making a thrilling return to Pokémon Go, set to run from March 26th to 30th. This event promises an exciting lineup of Bug-type Pokémon, including the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch. Get ready for a packed schedule of wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and new challenges that will keep you engaged throughout the event.
Lure Modules will be crucial during the Bug Out event. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but they'll also increase the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop if enough are caught using a single Lure Module. This is your chance to maximize your encounters and catch rates.
In addition to the Lure Module benefits, you'll earn double XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased chances of receiving Candy XL for trainers level 31 and above. Shiny hunters will be thrilled to know that the odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede are boosted during this event.
The wild will be teeming with Bug-types, including frequent appearances from Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Keep an eye out for the elusive Cutiefly, which might make a rare appearance.
In one-star raids, you'll encounter Sizzlipede alongside Scyther and Nincada, while 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 opportunity, which includes encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, along with a Lure Module. For those looking for extra rewards, a Paid Timed Research option is 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 will reward you with Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters, while PokéStop Showcases will highlight event-themed Pokémon. Make sure to visit the in-game shop to grab the new Sizzlipede Boots and a Scolipede Jacket to complete your Bug Out look.
