The Challenge to Catch Bugs Most of Timed Research is made up of two different kinds of tasks. The first type is all about Pokemon with the Bug type, and it should be pretty easy to finish. This is because many Bug-type Pokemon will have higher spawn rates during the Bug Out event in Pokemon GO, making them easy to find.

The other kind of task tells players to do certain kinds of Throws, which goes well with the bonuses that are available during the event. More specifically, these bonuses give more XP and Candy for catching Pokemon with Nice, Great, and Excellent Throws. This encourages PoGO players to be careful when they throw their Poke Balls.

The Pokemon encounters are probably the most interesting rewards you can get from the Bug Out Catch Challenge Timed Research. Players may be especially interested in the Grubbin encounter, since it is the first time that Pokemon has been seen in the game. You might also be interested in the Scyther battle and the Scizor Mega Energy you get at the end.
