Pokémon Pokopia has launched Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak contest, a limited-time minigame in which players must sneak up to a Pokémon Center's PC without being spotted by three watching Pokémon. Faster completion times unlock better rewards, giving players an incentive to keep replaying the event and refine their stealth tactics before it ends.

The contest runs from 5am local time on Sunday 19 July until 4.59am on Monday 27 July, giving players about a week to take part. Zorua must first be found in Bleak Beach before the event becomes available, after which talking to the fox Pokémon at a Pokémon Center starts the minigame. Useful tactics include using the camouflage move to avoid detection, sprinting past suspicious Pokémon at the last moment, and choosing a Pokémon Center with fewer obstacles for a quicker route to the PC. Rewards range from basic items such as Lumber and Leppa Berries for slower times down to Rare Pokémetal, Silver Feathers and a one-off Hide-and-Sneak Trophy for the fastest completions, with the best time achieved by the guide's author being six seconds.
