Scorching Steps event Tricks
Since this is an Egg-based event, and the fact that Shiny and Hundo hatching from Eggs is based on luck, what you have to do is possibly increase your luck. That means you will need to hatch a lot of Eggs. Hatching a lot of Eggs will require you to use a lot of Incubators and walk a lot of kilometers. However, I need to make it clear to you, from my experience, Egg-based events never measure up to their promises. So, keep your expectations low and do what is within your capacity.
Most importantly, have fun!
