The Scorching Steps event will have the following bonuses:

2× Candy from hatching Eggs.

Shiny Larvesta and Volcarona debut

The Pokémon GO Scorching Steps event will see the debut of Larvesta and Volcarona in the game. However, Niantic are not making Larvesta any easier to catch during this event. That means that hatching a Larvesta will be pretty rare, so hatching a Shiny Larvesta will be a very exciting hatch indeed.

10km Eggs will be your best chance, with only two other Pokémon in the Egg pool.

Here is Shiny Larvesta and Shiny Volcarona:
