If you want to add Centiskorch to your Pokemon GO collection, you first need to catch its pre-evolution, Sizzlipede. The Bug Out 2025 event (March 26, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. to March 30, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. local time) introduces this Fire and Bug-type Pokemon, providing several ways to encounter it.

In this article, we are going to discuss all the ways using which you can grab a Centiskorch in Pokemon GO.

How To Get Centiskorch in Pokemon GO

1. Raid Battles

Sizzlipede appears as a 1-Star Raid Boss during the event. Since lower-tier Raid Bosses are easier to defeat, you can take this challenge solo. It has weaknesses to Rock-, Flying-, and Water-type moves, so selecting Pokemon with these moves will increase your chances of success.

Sizzlipede Weaknesses

  • Rock-type Moves
  • Flying-type Moves
  • Water-type Moves

Sizzlipede Resistances

  • Bug-type Moves
  • Fairy-type Moves
  • Fighting-type Moves
  • Ice-type Moves
  • Steel-type Moves
  • Grass-type Moves

2. Research Tasks

Limited-time Field Research tasks also offer Sizzlipede as a reward. Completing these tasks might give you a high-IV version of the Pokemon, making it a great option for trainers looking for strong battle companions.

3. Collection Challenges

Another way to obtain Sizzlipede is to complete Collection Challenges during the event. If you collect specific Pokemon listed in the challenge, you will receive Sizzlipede as a guaranteed reward.

4. Evolution to Centiskorch

Once you have caught a Sizzlipede, simply evolve it to get a Centiskorch using 50 Sizzlipede Candies. To gather Candies faster, catch multiple Sizzlipede and transfer the extras. Using Pinap Berries increases the number of candies earned per catch.

Shiny hunters looking for a Shiny Sizzlipede will have to wait. The Bug Out 2025 event introduces the standard form of Sizzlipede, but its Shiny variant is not included. Typically, new Pokemon debuts do not feature their Shiny versions right away. Future events may bring Shiny Sizzlipede to the game.

Since Shiny Sizzlipede has not been released, obtaining a Shiny Centiskorch is also not possible at this time. Keep an eye on upcoming announcements for any updates regarding Shiny availability.
