Life in Pokémon Pokopia is all about the thrill of discovery. Whether you're rebuilding iconic landmarks, expanding your town, or bonding with its Pokémon residents, the game constantly gives you reasons to return. Limited-time events have become a core part of that experience, offering challenges that go beyond simply catching 'em all.
One Pokémon seems tailor-made for this approach. Since its debut, Zorua has been known as the Tricky Fox Pokémon, relying on illusions and clever tricks rather than brute force. Its mischievous personality makes it a perfect fit for an event centered on hiding, seeking, and friendly competition. And that event is arriving sooner than you might think.
Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest: What You Need to Know
The Pokémon Company has announced that Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest will take place in Pokémon Pokopia from July 19 at 5:00 a.m. through July 27 at 4:59 a.m. local time. During this limited-time event, players can find Zorua waiting outside any rebuilt Pokémon Center. The tricky fox will invite you to participate in a special hide-and-seek contest where your performance determines the rewards you receive.
Players who post stronger times can earn special prizes, including an exclusive trophy. The event also supports multiplayer, so you can compete with friends. Trainers can visit another player's world or gather on a Cloud Island to participate together. The fastest completion time among everyone taking part becomes that town or Cloud Island's best recorded score.
How to Prepare for the Event
Before the event begins, make sure you've rebuilt at least one Pokémon Center. Zorua will only appear in towns with a restored Pokémon Center, making it the first requirement for anyone hoping to join the festivities. If you haven't done so yet, now is the time to focus on that restoration project.
Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest runs for just over a week, giving Trainers a limited window to chase exclusive rewards, improve their completion times, and see if they can set the fastest record in their town before the event ends on July 27.
