Pokemon Go will welcome Snom and Munchlax during Cozy Compaions and Hatch Day events

• Snom and Frosmoth arrive in Pokémon Go during the Cozy Companions event
• Munchlax Hatch Day features increased shiny rates and exclusive Timed Research tasks
• Both events include optional paid research paths and time-limited bonuses

With Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Max Finale approaching on August 23rd and 24th, players can look forward to two pre-event celebrations filled with new arrivals, rewards, and shiny hunts. The first is Cozy Companions, introducing Snom and its evolution Frosmoth to the game, followed by Munchlax Hatch Day, a single-day egg celebration for this beloved Gen IV baby known for its slumber.

The Cozy Companions event takes place from August 6th through August 12th. During this weeklong period, Snom appears in the wild alongside Frosmoth. To evolve Snom into Frosmoth, trainers must collect 400 Candy, earn 10 buddy hearts with Snom as their buddy, and complete nighttime training tasks.

In addition to these icy newcomers, Shiny Tandemaus makes its debut, particularly when engaging in Party Play. Players can encounter Charcadet, Alolan Geodude, and Galarian Farfetch’d through field research, wild spawns, and seven km Eggs. Friendship bonuses are active throughout the event, accelerating progress on Gifts, battles, and trades.

A free Timed Research task features Snom and Tandemaus, while a paid option for $1.99 grants access to a Lucky Egg, Star Piece, and additional encounters. For those focusing on egg hatching, the 2x XP bonus and new shiny variants provide compelling incentives. Be sure to redeem Pokémon Go codes for extra rewards during this period.

Munchlax Hatch Day follows on August 9th from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm local time. Over six hours, players enjoy improved odds for Shiny Munchlax from two km Eggs, receive double Candy upon hatching, and see increased drops of two km Eggs at PokéStops. A complimentary Timed Research task rewards trainers with an Incubator and XP, while the $1.99 paid version adds Stardust bonuses, Super Incubators, and a Star Piece.

These events serve as an excellent preparation phase before Pokémon Go Fest reaches its climax later in August. Trainers can enhance their experience by purchasing special bundles from the Pokémon Go Web Store to maximize rewards during both celebrations.
