Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Trophy is one of those items that screams "I'm good at this game" without you having to say a word. It's a limited-time reward from the Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest event in Pokopia, and earning it requires a mix of speed, stealth, and a little bit of luck. Here's exactly how to claim it.
How to Get Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Trophy
The trophy is awarded to players who complete a round of Hide-and-Sneak in under one minute and 30 seconds. You also need to win that round—just finishing fast isn't enough if you get caught. The timer starts the moment you're teleported to a random starting point near the Pokémon Center, and every second counts.
To have any real chance, use the Camouflage ability immediately. Disguising yourself as an object makes you far less visible to the hunting Pokémon. If you skip this step, you'll likely be spotted within seconds. Once disguised, make a beeline for the PC at the Pokémon Center. The game ends when you touch it, and if you're under the 90-second mark, the trophy is yours.
Tip: The PC is your goal every round. Memorize its location relative to common spawn points so you can plan your route before the match even starts.
Winning Hide-and-Sneak in Pokopia
Beyond the speed requirement, you still need to win the round. That means avoiding capture by Zorua and the other hunting Pokémon. The enemy AI behaves unpredictably—each hunter chooses a random patrol path and direction. You can't control where they look, but you can work around it.
Start by using Camouflage, then take a moment to observe which Pokémon are hunting and which way they're facing. If they're all staring your way, wait for a patrol shift. If they're looking away, move quickly but quietly. The game is a lot like Alien: Isolation in miniature—patience and timing matter more than raw speed. And much like Among Us, you're trying to reach a goal without being spotted by opponents who have limited vision.
Why Luck Plays a Role
Here's the frustrating part: no matter how well you plan, the hunters' random behavior can make or break a run. In some rounds, every hunter faces your direction the entire time, trapping you. In others, they never look your way, letting you sprint straight to the PC. This AI arms race between player and hunters means you'll need multiple attempts to get a favorable pattern.
Don't get discouraged. Each failed round still earns you other event prizes if you meet their requirements. The Hide-and-Sneak Trophy is the crown jewel, but you'll also pick up rare items along the way that are normally hard to find in Pokopia.
Additional Event Rewards
While you're grinding for the trophy, you'll unlock other rewards from the Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Contest. These aren't event-exclusive, but they're valuable freebies—things like rare crafting materials, cosmetic items, or currency. The game tracks your progress across multiple attempts, so even if you don't get the trophy first try, you're still walking away with something useful.
Keep an eye on the event timer in the top-left corner of the screen. It shows how long you've been in the round, helping you gauge whether you're on pace for the sub-90-second trophy. If you're at 45 seconds and still far from the PC, you might as well restart and try again.
Zorua's Hide-and-Sneak Trophy is a test of adaptability. The randomness of the hunters means you can't brute-force your way to victory—you have to read each round and react. Stick with it, use Camouflage every time, and keep your eyes on the PC. Eventually, the stars will align, and you'll have that shiny trophy to show off.
