Pokémon Go’s "Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers" event runs from Aug. 4-10, bringing in a mix of fire- and ice-type Pokémon.

This event also debuts shiny Snom, though you'll only be able to get it from hitting certain ranks of the event Go Pass or by hatching 5 km eggs.

Below we list the event perks of Pokémon Go's "Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers" event, including the Timed Research, spawns, and egg hatches.

Pokémon Go 'Summer Marathon' event Go Pass

This event features a Go Pass with 30 ranks (plus 30 more bonus ranks). You can rank up the pass through the usual means (winning raids, hatching eggs, and catching Pokémon), but there's also two daily tasks to help you rank up: "Spin 10 PokéStops or gyms" and "Explore 2 km." Notably, you can get a Snom encounter as a reward at ranks 30 and 60.

There are two milestones that reward event bonuses as well:

  •                                 **Rank 10**: 2x XP for spinning PokéStops

  •                                 **Rank 10 (deluxe)**: 3x XP for spinning PokéStops

  •                                 **Rank 20**: 1/2 hatch distance

  •                                 **Rank 20 (deluxe)**: 1/4 hatch distance

As usual, you can pay $4.99 to upgrade to the deluxe pass, which rewards things like Incubators and the above extra bonuses.
