The much-anticipated Bug Out event is making its return to Pokémon Go, and it's set to thrill players from March 26th to 30th. This event promises an exciting array of Bug-type Pokémon, along with the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch. Get ready for a packed schedule of wild encounters, raids, special bonuses, and fresh 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 to your location, but they'll also boost the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop if you manage to catch enough using a single Lure Module. This makes them an essential tool for maximizing your event experience.
During the event, you'll have the chance to earn double XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with an increased chance of getting Candy XL for trainers level 31 and up. If you're on the hunt for Shiny Pokémon, you'll be pleased to know that your odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede are significantly improved.
The wild will be teeming with Bug-types, with frequent appearances from Pokémon like Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, and Nymble. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare chance to encounter Cutiefly.
Sizzlipede will be featured in one-star raids, appearing alongside Scyther and Nincada. Meanwhile, three-star raids will be dominated by Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor. By completing event-themed Field Research tasks, you can earn Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon.
Don't miss the free Timed Research opportunity, which includes encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, plus a Lure Module. For those looking for additional rewards, there's a Paid Timed Research option available for $2 (or the local equivalent), offering encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, along with two Premium Battle Passes and an extra Lure Module.
New Collection Challenges will offer rewards like Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters, while PokéStop Showcases will highlight event-themed Pokémon. Don't forget to check out the in-game shop for the new Sizzlipede Boots and a Scolipede Jacket to enhance your Pokémon Go experience.
