Overview
- The Pokémon Company said Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest will run from Sunday, July 19 at 5:00 a.m. local time through Monday, July 27 at 4:59 a.m. local time.
- Players must have at least one rebuilt Pokémon Center to find Zorua and can compete in another player's town or on a Cloud Island where the fastest completion sets that town's or island's best record.
- Participants can earn event prizes including a new trophy to decorate habitats and the event does not appear to add any new Pokémon to the game.
- The announcement repeats the broader content plan: a free August update will add underwater exploration using the Dive move and a paid Expansion Pass begins with the Bubbly Basin DLC in August followed by more paid expansions later.
- One outlet reported that version 1.1.1 is required to access the event but that detail is not widely confirmed, so players should check for official updates and install any patch before the event window.
