Annual events never tend to bug Pokémon Go players, but that might be an exception for Bug Out 2022 when it sees Bug-type Pokémon swarming from Aug. 10 to 16.
Among the numerous returning Bug-types, new faces such as Grubbin, Charjabug, and Vikavolt are joining the ever-expanding Pokémon Go roster.
In terms of other new additions, Venipede can be Shiny now, Genesect with its Chill Drive can be encountered in five-star raids, and Mega Scizor makes its debut in Mega Raids. Additionally, certain Pokémon will spawn more frequently around gyms after raids are beaten depending on the day, including Venipede and Kricketot.
