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

by Hazel Mar 14,2025

Get ready for the Pokémon Go Bug Out event, running from March 26th to 30th! This event features the debut of Sizzlipede and its evolution, Centiskorch, alongside a surge of Bug-type Pokémon. Expect exciting wild encounters, raids, bonuses, and new challenges.

Lure Modules are key this time around. Not only will they attract Sizzlipede, but catching enough Pokémon with a single Lure Module will significantly boost the Pokémon appearing at that PokéStop. 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 finding Shiny Wurmple and Shiny Venipede.

Prepare for a Bug-type invasion! Expect frequent wild encounters with Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Nincada, Venipede, Dwebble, Joltik, Grubbin, Dewpider, Nymble, and even the rare Cutiefly.

ytOne-star raids will 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.

A free Timed Research offers encounters with Shedinja, Sizzlipede, Kleavor, and more, plus a Lure Module. For even more rewards, a paid Timed Research ($2 or local equivalent) provides encounters with Heracross, Sizzlipede, and Kleavor, along with two Premium Battle Passes and an extra Lure Module.

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