How to prepare for Bug Out event in Pokemon GO

Your main focus should be on bagging as many Experience Points as possible. Since you will get 2x XP for Nice Throws or better, you have the potential to level up very easily.

Making Excellent Throws will give you 1,000 XP and with the Bug Out event bonus, that rises to 2,000 XP. Using Lucky Eggs during this event will further boost your earnings. So, you can get more than 4,000 XP per catch if you make Excellent Throws.

If you have an Origin Forme Dialga in your account, use its Legacy move, Roar of Time, to extend the duration of your Lucky Eggs. It will take 5,000 Stardust and five Dialga Candies to extend the duration of one Lucky Egg by six minutes.

You will enjoy a Candy bonus during the event and if it works similarly to previous events, you will get four Candies for Nice Throws, five Candies for Great Throws, and six Candies for Excellent Throws. Pinap Berries will stack with this bonus. Since a Pinap Berry gives you a 2x Candy boost, you can potentially earn 12 Candies for every monster during this event in GO.
