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 bringing a swarm of Bug-type Pokémon with it! This event marks the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch. Get ready for exciting wild encounters, challenging raids, and boosted rewards.

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 2x XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased Candy XL chances for those level 31 and above. Shiny hunters, rejoice! Your chances 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 featured in one-star raids alongside Scyther and Nincada. Meanwhile, Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor will dominate three-star raids. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks to earn Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon.

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research, offering encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, plus a Lure Module. For even more rewards, a paid Timed Research option (approximately $2 or local equivalent) provides encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, along with two Premium Battle Passes and an additional Lure Module.

New Collection Challenges await, rewarding you with Stardust, XP, and Pokémon encounters. PokéStop Showcases will highlight event Pokémon. And finally, grab the stylish new Sizzlipede Boots and Scolipede Jacket from the in-game shop!
