5 high-value Pokemon eggs to hatch at the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event

Trainers can hatch various monsters during the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event. This "eggspecial" event introduces a new Shiny and returns two others with increased chances of encountering a Shiny. Therefore, there are some valuable hatches to be on the lookout for. In this event, the first step is to obtain the newly arriving debutants, Shiny Larvesta and Shiny Volcarona. Thereafter, you can take the second step towards hatching high-value Pokemon.

Here, high-value Pokemon are those that are useful in PvP and PvE gameplay, have appealing designs, and are rare hatches. Let's take a closer look at this list of five worthwhile eggs to hatch in the Scorching Steps event in Pokemon GO.

High-value Pokemon hatches in Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event

1) Shiny Larvesta

First and foremost, trainers should look forward to obtaining Shiny Larvesta in the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event. Although hatching a Shiny will be a challenge, you can play smart and hatch multiple KM eggs.

Larvesta can be hatched from 2 KM, 5 KM, and 10 KM eggs, both in its standard form and Shiny form. The more eggs you hatch, the more critters you can collect. With luck, you may come across a Shiny Larvesta.

Regardless of the form of Larvesta you obtain in this event, you can evolve it into Volcarona. Both Larvesta and Volcarona are Bug and Fire-type Pokemon from Unova. Volcarona is powerful with a max CP of 4106 and is known for being difficult to obtain, similar to Gyarados in Pokemon GO.

This is because you need to collect 400 Candies and feed them to Larvesta to obtain the creature. Therefore, make sure you hatch plenty of eggs during the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event to collect Candies and potentially get a Shiny Larvesta.

2) Shiny Slugma

Shiny Slugma is the second main attraction of the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event. A Shiny Slugma can evolve into a Shiny Magcargo for the cost of 50 Candies. There is a higher chance of encountering and hatching this Pokemon.

With more trainers having the opportunity to get lucky in this event, try to possess a Shiny Magcargo. To do this, you can hatch 2 KM eggs or complete Field Research tasks.

Despite Niantic's decision to limit Shiny Slugma encounters to 2 KM eggs, it is stated that Shiny Slugma will appear more frequently. This means that if you hatch all 2 KM eggs at once, you may have a chance to encounter the creature.

While Slugma is a Fire-type, Magcargo is a dual Rock and Fire-type Pokemon. These monsters are strong against Bug, Grass, Ice, and Steel types. Therefore, there is no better time to obtain them than during the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event.

3) Shiny Litleo

What's interesting about Shiny Litleo is that it can evolve into two different forms based on its gender. If you catch a male Shiny Litleo, it will evolve into a male Shiny Pyroar. Conversely, those who have a female form will get a female Shiny Pyroar. In Pokemon GO Scorching Steps, there are only two ways to encounter the lion-like critter: hatch 5 KM eggs or complete Field research tasks.

Even though there is no guarantee to find a Shiny Litleo from 5 KM Pokemon eggs in your first few attempts, you can rely on luck. Additionally, when you hatch this item, there is also a possibility of finding Shiny forms of Growlithe and Larvesta. Since all of these monsters are highly valuable, it doesn't matter which critter you capture first in Pokemon GO Scorching Steps.

4) Shiny Growlithe and Shiny Hisuian Growlithe

The Shiny forms of Growlithe and Hisuian Growlithe can also be hatched in Pokemon GO Scorching Steps. These forms are highly sought after due to their popularity and utility. You can only hatch 5 KM eggs for Hisuian Growlithe, while you can hatch Standard Growlithe from 2 KM eggs.

The main focus of this event is the debut of Shiny Larvesta and the return of Slugma and Litleo. However, any version (regional) of Growlithe is worth having.

You can take advantage of the event bonuses to quickly hatch eggs during the event runtime. Your eggs will only take half the distance they normally require. This means if you have a 5 KM item, you can hatch it by walking just 2.5 KM. And for 2 KM items, you only need to walk a kilometer.

So, don't forget to walk to add Shiny Growlithe and Shiny Hisuian Growlithe to your collection from the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event.

5) Shiny Houndour

Houndour is the only featured Pocket Monster that can Mega Evolve into a Mega Houndoom. It performs outstandingly in battles, so this high-value Pokemon must be obtained at the Pokemon GO Scorching Steps event. To catch a regular Houndour or its Shiny form, you have only one option, which is to hatch 2 KM eggs.

Shiny Houndour is an adorable species, and many trainers want to show it off in the game. However, finding one at the Scorching Steps will be tough.
