Zorua's July 2026 contest ran from July 19 at 05:00 to July 27 at 04:59, local time. The trophy requires a winning time of 1:30 or faster. Your goal is to reach and interact with the Pokémon Center PC; staying hidden until a timer expires does not win the round. Finish Zorua's Bleak Beach request and unlock Camouflage before entering.
Choose the route from your starting position
- Locate the Center and identify the Pokémon watching the final approach. Starts vary, so take a moment to find a clear route rather than following the same path every round.
- In Bleak Beach, Surf can cross the water and bypass a longer land route. Come ashore near the Center, then use Camouflage for the guarded approach.
- On flat ground, Rollout and its B-button dash can close the distance quickly. Uneven terrain can stop it. Cancel Rollout just before reaching the PC and press A to interact; you cannot finish while still rolling.
Slow down only where the seekers can see you
Copy a nearby object before moving past the guards. Watch their direction and pause if a question mark or suspicion cue appears, then continue when it clears. You can interact with the PC while using Camouflage. A short pause at the entrance usually wastes less time than running straight into a seeker and failing the attempt.
Check the result before leaving
Finish in your own town if you want control over the prize: visiting another player's town awards the event prize to the host. Check the result dialogue and your received items after a qualifying win. If your time is slower than 1:30, try another start and route. A faster start helps, but no route guarantees an identical time or guard position every round.
