Pokémon Go ‘Bug Out’ event, Collection Challenge guide
Pokémon Go is hosting its yearly “Bug Out” event, launching Mega Heracross alongside with it. As expected from the name, bug-type Pokémon will be spawning more frequently during the event period from April 12-17.
In addition to the bug spawns, catch XP and candy on nice or better throws is doubled. Combee and Burmy will have a higher chance to be found shiny, and bug-types will spawn for 15 minutes around a raid when it’s been completed.
