Players that want to participate inPokemon GO’s Bug Out event can do so by working on its Timed Research. This Timed Research unfolds over the course of three steps, and fans have until Tuesday, August 16 at 8pm local time to get through all of it. For those players that would like to know more about these steps, a complete list of the tasks and rewards featured inPokemon GO’s Bug Out Catch Challenge Timed Research can be found in this guide.
To note, there are also a number ofBug Out Field Research tasks inPoGOfor players to complete, and indeed some of them overlap with the event-exclusive Timed Research. As such, it is recommended that players spin PokeStops while they are working on the Bug Out Catch Challenge in order to maximize their rewards.

Step 3 Completion Rewards:50x Scizor Mega Energy, Scyther Encounter
The Bug Out Catch Challenge Timed Research is primarily made up of two types of tasks. The first type focuses on Bug-type Pokemon, and it should be quite simple to complete. This is due to the fact that many Bug-type Pokemon will have increased spawn rates for the duration ofPokemon GO’s Bug Out event, making them fairly easy to find.
The other type of task instructs players to make certain types of Throws, and it aligns nicely with the bonuses that are active during the event. Specifically, those bonuses award additional XP and Candy for catching Pokemon with Nice, Great, and Excellent Throws, incentivizing players to be thoughtful when tossing theirPoke Balls inPoGO.
With respect to the rewards to be earned through the Bug Out Catch Challenge Timed Research, the Pokemon encounters are perhaps the most exciting prizes. The Grubbin encounter in particular may catch players' eyes, as that Pokemon is making its debut during the event. The Scyther encounter and Scizor Mega Energy awarded at the end may also be of interest.
