You hit start and Zorua melts into the hedges. The timer blinks like a taunt and you suddenly know every second matters. I’ve seen neat runs fold at the last turn — that quiet sting is why you read guides like this.
I’ve run this event enough times to catalog every prize threshold and the trickier needles in the haystack. You’ll get free materials here, and one reward that can’t be found elsewhere. Read, test, and shave seconds off your best time.
All Pokopia Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest event prizes
On my test device, the event hands out small stacks of common materials and a single exclusive trophy.
There are 14 reward drops across the event, but five are repeated Rare Pokémetal stacks — so you get 10 unique items in practice. Below is the full breakdown and the finish times tied to each prize. Memorize the table and plan which milestones you’ll chase during your runs.
The list below matches each reward to the time gate that awards it. Hit one gate and you collect everything for that and slower gates in a single run; hit the fastest gate and you sweep the whole sheet.
| Reward | Quantity | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Lumber | Three | Finish in under two minutes and 28 seconds. |
| Leppa Berry | Three | Finish in under two minutes and 11 seconds. |
| Honey | Three | Finish in under one minute and 56 seconds. |
| Large Lost Relic | Three | Finish in under one minute and 39 seconds. |
| Hide-and-Sneak Trophy | One | Finish in under one minute and 30 seconds. |

Only the Hide-and-Sneak Trophy is exclusive to this event. Everything else is farmable elsewhere in Pokopia, though this contest is one of the fastest ways to stack rarer materials without chasing wild spawns.
What are the rewards for Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest?
You get a mix of crafting materials, berries, and rarer currency items. The clear headline is the trophy — an event-only cosmetic (or brag) item — and a string of materials that scale up as your finish time drops. Reference the table above to plan which thresholds you’ll accept during practice runs.
Can you get all rewards in one run?
Yes. If you finish under 20 seconds, you sweep every reward on the sheet. That’s the single-run goal for completionists and resource grinders alike.
How to get all Zorua’s Hide-and-Sneak Contest event rewards in Pokopia
In the wild, seconds accumulate and decide the prize list before you reach the PC.
Every reward here is time-gated: finish the mini-game under the listed thresholds and the game drops the matching reward. You can collect multiple tiers in one run — so your fastest single performance is the cleanest route to full completion.
Here’s how I shave time off reliably: learn the straightest route, avoid detours, and practice the single moment when detection would force you to backtrack. Each repeat trims hesitation and tightens your line.
Practical tips:
- Run practice laps in offline mode if available; test the exact moment Zorua loses sight.
- Study runs on YouTube and Twitch — speedrunners post routes you can mirror. Check speedrun.com leaderboards for the event category.
- Use community hubs on Discord to trade routing tips and frame-perfect windows.
- Reset runs quickly instead of faffing after a bad start. The next attempt is where progress happens.
The final seconds feel like a ticking stopwatch and the reward table is like a magnet for resource hoarders; both metaphors point to the same truth: time is the single resource you must manage.
How rare is the Hide-and-Sneak Trophy?
It’s exclusive to this event and cannot be obtained through normal exploration. That makes it a small but meaningful collector’s prize for anyone active during the event window.
If you’re chasing the trophy and the full stack of materials, will you shave your run down to 20 seconds and claim the bragging rights?
