The Pokémon Go Bug Out event is back, bringing with it a flurry of Bug-type Pokémon and the exciting debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch! Running from March 26th to 30th, this event is brimming with wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and fresh challenges.
Lure Modules are key this time around. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but using multiple Lure Modules at a PokéStop will significantly increase the number of Pokémon appearing.
Trainers will also enjoy a 2x XP bonus and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased Candy XL chances for those level 31 and above. Shiny hunters rejoice! Your odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede are boosted.
Expect a surge of Bug-type Pokémon in the wild, including Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, Nymble, and even the rare Cutiefly.
Sizzlipede will be appearing in one-star raids alongside Scyther and Nincada, while Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor dominate three-star raids. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks for Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and chances to catch event Pokémon.
