Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest is the sixth officially revealed event in Pokémon Pokopia, and runs annually from July 19 to July 27, starting from 2026. As events are hardcoded into the game, it is possible to switch the Nintendo Switch 2's system time to the event period to participate in it, and an internet connection is also not required to participate.
The event involves playing the Hide-and-Sneak minigame with Zorua to earn rewards.
You can talk to Zorua to play the hide-and-sneak minigame. To win, you must touch the PC at the Pokémon Center without getting found by the seeker Pokémon. If you are found, you will be sent back to the starting point.
Using Camouflage will make it harder for the seeker Pokémon to find you. You can also create distractions by placing items on the ground, using items that make noise, or using emotes. Try different types of diversions to create openings and keep moving toward the PC!
When you play hide-and-sneak with other players, it becomes a team game. If any player touches the PC, the whole team wins. Players found by the seeker Pokémon will be sent back to the starting point. Work with your team to reach the PC!
