Bug Catching Contest

The Bug Catching Contest is where you hatch a new Bug Type Pokémon that qualifies for the contest. They start on every second Tuesday at 12:00 AM and end on the following second Saturday at 11:45 PM. Once you have a Bug Type Pokémon that qualities, it will be noted on your page and you will receive a prize when it ends. When the contest ends, all Pokémon that you own that qualifies for the contest will receive a Medal based on the rank of the contest.
