Don’t give away your hiding spot! You’ll have to pull out all the stops during Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest event taking place in Pokémon Pokopia from July 19, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. to July 27, 2026, at 4:59 a.m. local time. When you start up the game, you’ll be able to find Zorua in front of any rebuilt Pokémon Center, ready to chat about hide-and-sneak contests. Participating in one will give you the chance to earn special prizes based on your performance—including a trophy!
Zorua can only visit towns with a rebuilt Pokémon Center—so if you want to participate in this event, make sure you have at least one up and running. For this event, you can also meet up in another player’s world or on a Cloud Island to participate in a contest together! The fastest completion time among all participating players will become the town or Cloud Island’s best record
