The much-anticipated Bug Out event is making its return to Pokémon Go, set to run from March 26th to 30th. This event promises an exciting lineup of Bug-type Pokémon, including the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch. Get ready for a thrilling experience filled with wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and new 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, but they'll also increase the number of Pokémon appearing at a PokéStop if enough are caught using a single Lure Module. This is your chance to maximize your encounters and make the most out of the event.

You'll also benefit from earning 2x XP and extra Candy for Nice Throws or better, with increased Candy XL chances for trainers level 31 and up. If you're on the hunt for Shiny Pokémon, you'll have better odds of encountering Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede, adding an extra layer of excitement to your Bug Out adventure.

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 an eye out for the elusive Cutiefly, which might just make an appearance if luck is on your side.

Sizzlipede will be featured in one-star raids alongside Scyther and Nincada, while Beedrill, Scizor, and Kleavor will dominate the three-star raids. Completing event-themed Field Research tasks will reward you with Mega Energy, Scatterbug Candy, and encounters with event Pokémon, making every task a step closer to great rewards.

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research opportunity, which includes 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) offers 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 highlight event-themed Pokémon. Make sure to check out the in-game shop for the new Sizzlipede Boots and a Scolipede Jacket to complete your Bug Out look.
