One-star raids

The lowest tier of raids during the 2025 Bug Out event will feature Sizzlipede from March 26 - 30, 2025. You can take part in these either in person or using Remote Raid passes. The critter is weak to Water-, Rock-, and Flying-type damage.

After you defeat Sizzlipede, you can catch it in the following CP ranges:

• No weather boost: 553 - 599 CP (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs at Level 20)
• Weather boosted (Sunny or Rainy): 692 - 749 CP (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs at Level 25)

Lure Module encounters

You can encounter Sizzlipede in the wild using Lure Modules during the Bug Out event. Turning on a regular Lure Module at a PokeStop will give you a chance to receive a wild encounter with this creature once every three minutes. Sunny or Rainy weather will increase the chances of this critter appearing.

Research rewards

Field Research tasks, as well as the free and paid Timed Research quests during Pokemon GO Bug Out, will feature Sizzlipede in Pokemon GO. The encounters received from these tracks will always be at level 15 and will be between 415 - 449 CP (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs).

Trade

If you are unable to find a Sizzlipede on your own, you can have an in-game friend trade you one. However, it will count as a Special Trade and cost you a hefty amount of Stardust, depending on your Friendship level with the other trainer.
