Snom, Munchlax Added to Pokemon Go in Hatch Day Event

- Snom and Frosmoth emerge onto the scene during Cozy Companions

- Munchlax Hatch Day delivers enhanced shiny rates and special Timed Research

- Both celebrations include premium research paths and exclusive temporary perks

As Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Max Finale prepares to electrify trainers worldwide on August 23rd-24th, the excitement builds with two engaging precursor events featuring fresh arrivals and special rewards. First comes Cozy Companions, introducing Snom and Frosmoth to Pokémon Go, followed by Munchlax Hatch Day - a single-day egg hatching extravaganza spotlighting the perpetually drowsy Generation IV infant Pokémon.

The Cozy Companions event unfolds in Pokémon Go from August 6th through 12th. During this weeklong celebration, Snom makes its inaugural appearance alongside its evolved form Frosmoth. Evolving Snom requires collecting 400 Candy, earning 10 buddy hearts, and completing nighttime training sessions.

Complementing these icy additions, Shiny Tandemaus also debuts, particularly for trainers engaging in Party Play. The event features Field Research tasks, boosted wild encounters, and special 7km Egg hatches including Charcadet, Alolan Geodude, and Galarian Farfetch'd. Enhanced Friendship benefits accelerate progress through Gift exchanges, battles, and trades.

Trainers can access free Timed Research starring Snom and Tandemaus, while a premium $1.99 research track offers additional rewards including a Lucky Egg, Star Piece, and bonus encounters. With 2x XP bonuses and new Shiny possibilities, dedicated hatchers will find plenty of incentive to stay active. Remember to supplement your resources by redeeming active Pokémon Go promo codes!

The spotlight then shifts to Munchlax Hatch Day on August 9th from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time. During this six-hour window, trainers enjoy increased Shiny odds for Munchlax from 2km Eggs, alongside 2x Candy rewards and boosted 2km Egg drops from PokéStops. A complimentary Timed Research path provides an Incubator and XP boost, while a $1.99 premium version delivers Stardust bonuses, Super Incubators, and a Star Piece.

These consecutive events create perfect preparation opportunities before Pokémon Go Fest reaches its grand climax later in August. Smart trainers can optimize their experience by exploring exclusive bundles available through the Pokémon Go Web Store.
