Players can also complete Sinnoh region Field Research tasks that will be available from PokeStops while the event is live. These research tasks will be yet another way to catch Sinnoh region Pokemon during the event, but they will also give players the chance to get Sinnoh Stones.Sinnoh Stonesare hugely important inPokemon GO, as there are the only way players will be able to get some of the Sinnoh region Pokemon.
Like with manyPokemon GOevents, the Sinnoh Celebration also features new shiny Pokemon for fans to collect. More specifically, players have the chance to add Shiny Hippopotas and Shiny Riolu to their collections. Theseshiny Pokemonwill technically still be available inPokemon GOafter the event ends, but the Sinnoh Celebration will be the easiest time for players to get these Pokemon.
This isn’t the first time thatPokemon GOhas held an event honoring a specific region from thePokemonfranchise. As some may recall, Niantic hosted a Kanto-themed event in 2018 that went a long way in helpingPokemon GOplayers fully complete theirGen 1 Pokedex. Moving forward, it’s likely that Niantic will continue to host region-specific events as a way to helpPokemon GOplayers complete their Pokedex.
The Sinnoh region isn’t the only thing be celebrated by aPokemon GOin-game event this month. The game is also celebrating Valentine’s Day by havingWoobat as the Field Research Breakthrough reward, so fans should keep that in mind as well.
