Running from April 12 to 17 at 8pm local time, the Pokémon Go Bug Out event will have Bug types spawning more frequently in the wild and several rare species appearing in raids—including Kleavor and the debut of Mega Heracross. On top of that, you can take advantage of new event bonuses like increased Shiny odds for certain Pokémon. Though, if you want the most out of this event, and plan on training up any Mega Bug-type Pokémon, you’ll want to complete the Collection Challenges too.
