Sizzling its way into Go, Sizzlipede makes its debut in this years Bug Out event! Though in raids... Ugh why can't we have this thing in the wild? Anyways, there's a nice XP bonus along with a shiny boost for some select bugs. While it's not the most meta relevant event, there's a few bonuses you should definitely take advantage of.

Raids

Yup, Sizzlipede is only available in raids...

Meta Relevance

Bug and Fire is an awesome type combination, and that's where it about ends for Centiskorch's praise. Fire is a very competitive type when it comes to raids, and Bug is only relevant when Hoopa comes around. This bug looks cool, but that's it. It's hard to recommend using raid passes on this thing, unless you want to complete your Pokedex.

One of the rare times a middle stage Pokemon is relevant in Go, but here we are. Charjabug with Volt Switch* is a surprisingly decent threat in the Great League.
