Bug Out

Bug Out brings the Galar region's Blipbug, Dottler and Orbeetle to Pokémon GO for the first time, from 17 to 23 March. Blipbug appears in one-star raids, while bug-type Pokémon fill the wild, Lure Modules and three-star raids, with Pinsir, Scizor and Kleavor among the raid bosses. A free GO Pass with a paid Deluxe upgrade runs alongside, and its milestones unlock extra XP and Candy bonuses.
