Bug Out Event Returns with Sizzlipede Debut in Pokémon Go

The Bug Out event is making a thrilling comeback to Pokémon Go, featuring an exciting lineup of Bug-type Pokémon and introducing Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch. Scheduled from March 26th to 30th, this event promises a variety of wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and fresh challenges to keep you engaged.

Lure Modules will be crucial during the Bug Out event. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but they'll also increase the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop if enough are caught using a single Lure Module.

You'll also benefit from earning 2x XP and additional Candy for Nice Throws or better, with enhanced Candy XL chances for trainers level 31 and above. Shiny hunters will be thrilled with the increased odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede.

The wild will be teeming with Bug-types, including frequent appearances from 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 Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor will dominate the three-star raids. 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, along with a Lure Module. For those looking for extra rewards, the Paid Timed Research option ($2 or local equivalent) provides encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, plus 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 spotlight event-themed Pokémon. Be sure to check out the in-game shop for the new Sizzlipede Boots and a Scolipede Jacket.
