Not only is it is exciting to see many fan favourites - such as Togetic and Magmar - be granted new forms, but it makes many of the game’s best Pokemon even more powerful - including Rhydon. There are many other special evolution items too - such as the Metal Coat for Steelix and Scizor, the Dragon Scale for Kingdra, the King’s Rock for Slowking and Politoed, and the Up-Grade for Porygon2. Regardless of which creature you use the Sinnoh Stone on - the full list is mentioned later in the article - the methods in how to get the Sinnoh Stone remains the same:
The Sinnoh Stone has a chance of dropping when collecting your seventh day Field Research reward A chance of dropping from completing PvP Trainer Battles Defeat a Team Go Rocket Leader A possible ‘Mystery Item’ Go Battle League reward
This is different to other special evolution items so far - which require either the seventh day of your PokéStop Daily Bonus streak, or a rare drop from spinning standard Poké Stops and opening Gifts. For now, it means it’ll take some time for players to get every creature - right now, 11 weeks to be exact! (Unless, of course, you can trade some from others…) The ones that are currently available are as follows - their newest additions first - with their previous evolution listed, and the Gen 4 creature they become with the use of either a Sinnoh Stone or Lure at that point. Note you’ll also need to use 100 Candy to evolve them, and with some creatures, a specific gender: The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season. Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
