Bug Out Event Returns with Sizzlipede Debut in Pokémon Go

The much-anticipated Bug Out event is making its return to Pokémon Go, running from March 26th to 30th. This event promises an influx of Bug-type Pokémon, including the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolved form, Centiskorch. Get ready for a thrilling experience filled with wild encounters, raids, special bonuses, and new challenges.

During the Bug Out event, Lure Modules will be your best friend. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but they’ll also increase the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop if you catch enough using a single Lure Module. This is your chance to maximize your encounters!

You'll also enjoy 2x XP and additional Candy for Nice Throws or better, with enhanced Candy XL chances for trainers level 31 and above. Shiny hunters, rejoice! Your odds of finding Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede are significantly boosted during the event.

Expect to see a swarm of Bug-types in the wild, including Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Keep an eye out for the elusive Cutiefly as well.

Sizzlipede will make its presence known in one-star raids, appearing alongside Scyther and Nincada. Meanwhile, three-star raids will feature Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor. Completing event-themed Field Research tasks will earn you Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with various event Pokémon.

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research, which includes encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, plus a Lure Module. For those looking for additional rewards, the Paid Timed Research option, priced at $2 or the local equivalent, offers encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, along with two Premium Battle Passes and an extra Lure Module.

New Collection Challenges will be available, rewarding you with Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters. PokéStop Showcases will highlight event-themed Pokémon, giving you another way to engage with the community.
