With latest restart the newly added bug net is now working. For now you can only get it from summer mystery box or buying it from other players, in future there may be other methods to obtain it. Bug net is linked to the character once used (there is a confirmation window for this).
The system is similar to fishing rods, in fact the cooldown for fishing and bug hunting is shared, so you can't really fish and bug hunt at the same time.
Instead of being used on water it must be used on bushes/trees, different bushes/trees will spawn different Pokemon.
The bug net allows a maximum of 2 baits, these baits are exclusive for the net of course.
Using any bait will improve the success rate of spawning Pokemon, and increase the maximum amount of Pokemon spawned by +1.
