'Scorching Steps Timed Research' quest steps in Pokémon Go

Scorching Steps is a timed research quest running until Tuesday 25th June at 8pm (local time) in Pokémon Go. lf you don't complete this quest before this deadline, then both it and its rewards will vanish forever. Aside from this caveat, it works exactly the same as every other Pokémon Go quest.

Below you'll find all of the Scorching Steps quest steps and rewards in Pokémon Go. Just be wary of spoilers!

Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

Everything we know about Scorching Steps in Pokémon Go

Scorching Steps will run until Tuesday 25th June at 8pm (local time) in Pokémon Go. During this time, you can enjoy three egg-themed and one shiny-themed bonuses!

Egg-wise, you'll get double hatch candy and the first three eggs placed in Incubators using the Pokémon Go Egg hatching widget will have 1/4 hatch distance. After these first three eggs, each egg you placed in an Incubator during Scorching Steps will have its hatch distance halved. Perfect for getting through those 10km and 12km eggs!

If you want to use the Pokémon Go hatching widget, simply follow the actions for adding a widget to the phone screen for your device. It usually involves holding your finger down on an empty space, pressing a plus sign or widget option before searching Pokémon Go and placing it where you want it to sit.

Not to be forgotten - the shiny bonus brings a chance of you encountering and / or hatching a shiny Slugma and shiny Litleo.

Scorching Steps also sees the release of shiny Larvesta! If you happen to have 400 Larvesta candy lying around, you can evolve it into a shiny Volcarona.

Though, if you're running low on Larvesta candy, Scorching Steps is prepared to help you out as any 2km, 5km and 10km you collect during it will have a Fire-type themed egg pool. Each egg pool is slightly different, so here are some of the Pokémon making an appearance:

2km Scorching Steps Egg Pool

• Growlithe
• Slugma
• Houndour
• Magby
• Larvesta

5km Scorching Steps Egg Pool

• Hisuian Growlithe
• Darumaka
• Litwick
• Larbesta
• Litleo

10km Scorching Steps Egg Pool

• Larvesta
• Turtonator
• Charcadet

Thanks to the reduced hatch distance bonuses, you'll be able to work through a lot of eggs and, hopefully, add a Larvesta or two to your Pokémon collection.

Finally, there will, of course, be PokéStop Showcases running throughout Scorching Steps.

Hope you hatch a lot of eggs during Scorching Sands!
