Pokémon Go is bringing back the Bug Out event with Sizzlipede’s debut this time

The Pokémon Go Bug Out event is back, running from March 26th to 30th, and it's buzzing with activity! This event marks the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch, alongside a surge of Bug-type Pokémon. Get ready for exciting wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and new challenges.

Lure Modules are key during the Bug Out event. 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 2x XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased Candy XL chances for those level 31 and above. Shiny hunters have increased odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede.

Expect a flurry of Bug-type Pokémon in the wild, including Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, Nymble, and even the occasional Cutiefly.

One-star raids feature Sizzlipede 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 encounters with event Pokémon.
