Niantic has revealed that the upcoming event for Pokemon Go’s current Shared Skies season will center around Egg and Fire-type Pokemon and will be called Scorching Steps.
This Pokemon Go event draws inspiration from the Flame Body ability in the mainline titles, which also aids in hatching Eggs. As a result, Fire-type Pokemon will be more readily available during this event, in addition to other bonuses and the introduction of a new Shiny.

The Scorching Steps event will take place from 10 am on Friday, June 21, until 8 pm on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, in local time.
