Get ready for the return of the Bug Out event in Pokémon Go, happening from March 26th to 30th! This exciting event introduces Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch, and offers a plethora of Bug-type Pokémon activities to dive into. From wild encounters to engaging challenges, the Bug Out event promises to keep you buzzing with excitement.
Lure Modules will be your best friend during this event, not only attracting Sizzlipede but also boosting the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop when enough are caught using a single Lure. This feature enhances your chances of encountering more Bug-type Pokémon, making your adventure even more rewarding.
To sweeten the deal, you'll earn double XP and additional Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased Candy XL chances for trainers level 31 and up. Shiny hunters, rejoice! Your odds of finding Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede are significantly improved during this event.
The wild will be teeming with Bug-types like Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Keep an eye out for the rare Cutiefly, which might just flutter into your path.
Sizzlipede will make its raid debut in one-star raids, alongside Scyther and Nincada, while Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor will challenge you in three-star raids. Completing event-themed Field Research tasks will earn you Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon, adding even more value to your Bug Out experience.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research, which offers 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), providing encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, as well as 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 Scolipede Jacket, perfect for showing off your Bug-type fandom.
