Shiny Snom debuted from GO Pass tasks and 5km Eggs. Its egg hundo is 302 CP.
To help you hatch one, you got:
- 1/2 Egg hatch distance from rank 20 of the free GO Pass

Marathon Visor Pikachu
One Marathon Visor Pikachu was available from Special Research, another chance for anyone who missed it in Spring Marathon 2026. I expected it to ask us to explore 42km again.
Matt's takeShiny Snom looks subtle but OK, and I hoped everyone who didn't get the marathon done last time could get it done this time.
