Sizzlipede Pokémon GO is a Fire- and Bug-type Pokémon from the Galar region that evolves into Centiskorch using 50 Sizzlipede Candy. Shiny Sizzlipede is available in Pokémon GO, and the species will receive another major update during the Twilight Trails season when Dynamax Sizzlipede makes its debut.
Sizzlipede Pokémon GO will also be included in the Twilight Trails 5 km Egg pool, giving Trainers another way to collect Sizzlipede Candy and hunt its Shiny form between September 8 and December 1, 2026.
Dynamax Sizzlipede debuts in Max Battles on October 5, 2026, and is scheduled to remain available at Power Spots through October 11.

Can Sizzlipede Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes. Shiny Sizzlipede is available in Pokémon GO.
Sizzlipede has been listed as Shiny eligible during previous events and is again marked as Shiny eligible in the Twilight Trails 5 km Egg pool.
That means a Sizzlipede hatched from a 5 km Egg during Twilight Trails can potentially be Shiny.
A Shiny encounter is not guaranteed.
The Shiny form can also be evolved into Shiny Centiskorch using the normal evolution requirement of 50 Sizzlipede Candy.
How to Evolve Sizzlipede Into Centiskorch
The Sizzlipede Pokémon GO evolution is straightforward.
Sizzlipede evolves into Centiskorch using 50 Sizzlipede Candy.
| Evolution | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Sizzlipede → Centiskorch | 50 Sizzlipede Candy |
There is no evolution item, Buddy walking requirement or battle task needed.
Once 50 Sizzlipede Candy has been collected, Sizzlipede can be evolved directly into Centiskorch.

Dynamax Sizzlipede Pokémon GO
Dynamax Sizzlipede Pokémon GO debuts in Max Battles during the week of October 5 to October 11, 2026. October 5 is the featured Sizzlipede Max Monday, giving Trainers the first focused chance to battle and catch the Dynamax form at Power Spots.
The normal Max Monday spotlight runs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Max Battles can also appear during the wider Monday Power Spot availability, and Dynamax Sizzlipede remains in the Max Battle rotation through October 11.
| Dynamax debut | October 5, 2026 |
| Max Monday spotlight | October 5, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time |
| Weekly Max Battle availability | October 5 to October 11, 2026 |
| Battle location | Power Spots |
| Typing | Fire and Bug |
Because Sizzlipede is Fire and Bug type, Rock attacks are the standout option against it. Water and Flying attacks are also super effective. Trainers who want a Dynamax Centiskorch should keep a strong Dynamax Sizzlipede from this rotation and evolve it with the usual 50 Sizzlipede Candy.
When Is Dynamax Sizzlipede Coming to Pokémon GO?
Dynamax Sizzlipede arrives in Pokémon GO on October 5, 2026. It is the featured Max Monday Pokémon that day and is scheduled to remain available in Max Battles from October 5 through October 11.
The October 5 Max Monday spotlight is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Trainers do not have to treat that single hour as the only opportunity for the week, because Sizzlipede continues in the Max Battle rotation through October 11.
| Dynamax Sizzlipede | Details |
|---|---|
| Debut date | October 5, 2026 |
| Max Monday | October 5, 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time |
| Max Battle rotation | October 5 to October 11, 2026 |
| Location | Power Spots |
| Season | Twilight Trails |
This makes October 5 the key day for players specifically hunting the debut, while the rest of the October 5 to 11 window gives more time to catch additional Dynamax Sizzlipede for better IVs, Candy and a future Dynamax Centiskorch.
What Type Is Sizzlipede Pokémon GO?
Sizzlipede Pokémon GO is a dual Fire- and Bug-type Pokémon.
That combination gives Sizzlipede a particularly important weakness to Rock-type attacks.
Its weaknesses are:
- Rock
- Flying
- Water
Rock is especially effective because both Fire and Bug are weak to Rock, giving Sizzlipede a double weakness.
| Attack Type | Effect Against Sizzlipede |
|---|---|
| Rock | Double weakness |
| Flying | Super effective |
| Water | Super effective |
| Bug | Resisted |
| Fairy | Resisted |
| Fighting | Resisted |
| Ice | Resisted |
| Steel | Resisted |
| Grass | Heavily resisted |
These weaknesses will be particularly useful when Dynamax Sizzlipede begins appearing in Max Battles.
Sizzlipede Pokémon GO Weaknesses
The biggest Sizzlipede Pokémon GO weakness is Rock.
Rock-type attacks deal substantially more damage than normal because Sizzlipede’s Fire and Bug typings are both vulnerable to Rock.
Flying- and Water-type attacks are also super effective.
For Max Battles against Dynamax Sizzlipede, strong Rock-type Pokémon should therefore be the first type to consider.

Sizzlipede Pokémon GO Max CP and Stats
Sizzlipede Pokémon GO reaches a maximum CP of 1,186 at Level 50.
At Level 40, its maximum CP is 1,049.
| Sizzlipede | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum CP at Level 50 | 1,186 |
| Maximum CP at Level 40 | 1,049 |
| Base Attack | 118 |
| Base Defense | 90 |
| Base HP | 137 |
Sizzlipede is an unevolved Pokémon with relatively modest stats, so Centiskorch is generally the more useful member of the evolution family for battle content.
Best Sizzlipede Pokémon GO Moveset
The best Sizzlipede Pokémon GO moveset for general damage is:
Bug Bite + Bug Buzz
Both are Bug-type attacks and receive the Same Type Attack Bonus from Sizzlipede’s Bug typing.
Sizzlipede can also use Ember as a Fire-type Fast Attack and has access to Charged Attacks including Heat Wave and Crunch.
For most Trainers, however, investing heavily in Sizzlipede itself is less useful than evolving it into Centiskorch.
Is Sizzlipede Good in Pokémon GO?
Sizzlipede itself has limited battle use because its maximum CP is only 1,186.
Its main value comes from:
- Evolving into Centiskorch
- Hunting Shiny Sizzlipede
- Completing the Galar Pokédex
- Preparing a Dynamax Sizzlipede for Max Battles
- Building a Dynamax Centiskorch after the Twilight Trails debut
The upcoming Dynamax release gives Sizzlipede Pokémon GO considerably more relevance than the standard form has had on its own.
Is Centiskorch Good in Pokémon GO?
Centiskorch is significantly stronger than Sizzlipede and reaches a maximum CP of 3,381 at Level 50.
Centiskorch retains the same Fire- and Bug-type combination and therefore has the same major double weakness to Rock-type attacks.
For Bug-type damage, Centiskorch can use Bug Bite and Bug Buzz.
Its higher stats make Centiskorch a much more practical Pokémon to invest in than regular Sizzlipede, particularly once a Dynamax version becomes available.
Can Shiny Sizzlipede Become Dynamax Sizzlipede?
Regular and Dynamax Pokémon are treated as different encounter types in Pokémon GO. A standard Sizzlipede cannot simply be converted into a Dynamax Pokémon.
A Dynamax-capable Sizzlipede must be obtained from a source that provides the Dynamax form, such as its October 5 to 11 Max Battles.
Shiny Sizzlipede is available in Pokémon GO, but Pokémon has not yet confirmed the Shiny availability details for the upcoming Dynamax Sizzlipede Max Battles.
Sizzlipede During Pokémon GO Twilight Trails
Sizzlipede Pokémon GO has two confirmed roles during Twilight Trails.
Regular Sizzlipede will appear in 5 km Eggs, where it can potentially be Shiny.
Dynamax Sizzlipede will also make its Pokémon GO debut through Max Battles at Power Spots during the season.
That makes Twilight Trails a useful period for collecting Sizzlipede Candy, hunting Shiny Sizzlipede and preparing for the new Dynamax form.
Pokémon GO Twilight Trails begins on September 8, 2026, and continues until December 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
