The Bug Out event is making a triumphant return to Pokémon Go, heralding a festival of Bug-type Pokémon from March 26th to 30th. This exciting event introduces Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch, and promises a plethora of wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and new challenges to keep you engaged.
During the event, Lure Modules will be your best friend, not only attracting Sizzlipede but also boosting Pokémon spawns at PokéStops when enough are caught with a single Lure Module.
You'll also enjoy double XP and additional Candy for Nice Throws or better, with enhanced chances of earning Candy XL for trainers at level 31 and above. Shiny hunters will have a golden opportunity to find Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede.
The wild will be teeming with Bug-types such as Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Keep an eye out for the rare Cutiefly.
In one-star raids, you'll encounter Sizzlipede alongside Scyther and Nincada, while three-star raids will feature Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor. Completing event-themed Field Research tasks will grant you Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research, which offers encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, plus a Lure Module. For those looking for additional rewards, the Paid Timed Research ($2 or local equivalent) provides encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, along with two Premium Battle Passes and an extra Lure Module.
New Collection Challenges will reward you with Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters, and PokéStop Showcases will feature event-themed Pokémon. Be sure to check out the in-game shop for the new Sizzlipede Boots and Scolipede Jacket.
