Everything you need to know about the Bug Out! event in pokemon go

The Bug Out! the event in Pokémon Go runs until Tuesday, August 16 at 8 p.m. (local time) and sees the release of four new Pokémon in the game.

The first three are Gen 7’s Grubbin, Charjabug, and Vikavolt. While evolving Grubbin into Charjabug is just a candy thing, you’ll need to complete a special requirement to add Vikavolt to your Pokédex. (And collect lots more candy too!)

The fourth Pokémon is Mega Scizor which will be available in Mega Raids until Thursday, August 18.

In addition to these new Pokémon, you can enjoy a selection of Ultra Unlocks!

Usually region-exclusive Unown T and Pansage will appear in one-star raids. Pansage will also appear in the wild and it’s a good idea to use Pinap Berries when catching it to ensure you can evolve this Pokemon. Don’t forget that you will also need an Unova stone.

You’ll receive extra Candies, as well as double XP, for successfully catching Pokémon with Nice, Great, and Excellent Throws. While players level 31 or higher have a higher chance of earning Candy XL by successfully catching Pokémon with Nice, Great, or Excellent Throws.

In addition to these bonuses, you can also find the following Pokémon in the wild:

• caterpie
• Aspicot
• I suppose
• spinarak
• don’t burn
• Pineco
• Wumple
• You bastards
• Kricketot
• Crust
• Grooming
• Venipede
• Dwebble
• Karrblas
• From Jolti
• Helmet
• Grubbin
• Spider

Bug-type Pokémon have always invaded raids for this event, with Paras, Pineco, and Joltik appearing in one-star raids, alongside Unown T and Pansage. Venomoth, Pinsir, Forretress, and Shuckle are all in three-star raids, while Genesect makes a return to five-star raids – this time with the Chill Drive.

Finally, there is an additional raid-related bonus throughout the Bug Out! an event. If you and at least three other trainers join a raid in person, then bug-type Pokémon will appear more frequently around the gym that hosted the raid for 15 minutes thereafter.

The specific bug-type Pokémon will differ depending on the day you raid:

• Wednesday August 10 – Wurmple
• Thursday August 11 – Caterpie
• Friday August 12 – Spinarak
• Saturday August 13 – Kricketot
• Sunday August 14 – Venipede
• Monday August 15 – Weedle
• Tuesday, August 16 – Ledyba

Have fun during the Bug Out! an event.
