Bug Out Event Returns with Sizzlipede Debut in Pokémon Go

The Bug Out event is making a thrilling comeback 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. Players can look forward to a variety of wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and fresh challenges during this period.

Lure Modules will be key during the Bug Out event. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but if you catch enough Pokémon with a single Lure Module at a PokéStop, you'll see an increase in Pokémon appearances at that location.

During the event, you'll earn double XP and additional Candy for Nice Throws or better, with enhanced chances of receiving Candy XL for trainers at level 31 and above. Shiny hunters will have improved odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede.

Expect a swarm of Bug-types in the wild, with frequent sightings of Pokémon like Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Lucky players might even spot Cutiefly.

Sizzlipede will be available in one-star raids, joined by Scyther and Nincada, while Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor will dominate three-star raids. Completing event-themed Field Research tasks will net 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, along with a Lure Module. For those looking for extra rewards, there's a Paid Timed Research option for $2 or the local equivalent, featuring encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, plus two Premium Battle Passes and an additional Lure Module.

New Collection Challenges will offer rewards such as Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters, and PokéStop Showcases will spotlight event-themed Pokémon. Be sure to check out the in-game shop for the new Sizzlipede Boots and a Scolipede Jacket.
