Overview
- The Pokémon Company announced Wednesday, July 15 that Zorua’s Hide‑and‑Sneak Contest will run from July 19 at 05:00 local time to July 27 at 04:59 local time.
- Players must install version 1.1.1 and have at least one rebuilt Pokémon Center in a town to access the event.
- To join, players talk to Zorua in front of a rebuilt Pokémon Center to play hide‑and‑seek for trophies and other in‑game prizes.
- Multiplayer rules make the host the prize recipient when visitors play in another player's town and set the town record, while on Cloud Island the fastest individual wins the prize and the Cloud Island record.
- The contest is part of ongoing live support that includes a free August update adding the Dive move and underwater building and later paid expansions through 2027, and the event does not introduce any new Pokémon.
