Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers

A fire-and-ice themed event from 4 to 10 August in which Shiny Snom appears for the first time, hatching from 5 km Eggs and awarded through GO Pass tasks. Ponyta, Snover, Slugma and Vanillite take turns in the wild on alternating days with a better shiny chance, and a free Timed Research leads to Pikachu wearing a marathon visor. The No. 10 Jersey avatar item is free in the in-game shop during the event.
