In Pokémon GO the Sinnoh event starts in January with new shinies and exciting bonuses. We show you what the event has in store.
What kind of event is this? Trainers are eagerly waiting for the big Kanto tour in February 2021. Niantic wants to help you pass the time and launches the Sinnoh event. Sinnoh is the region of Generation 4. Accordingly, the event will mainly revolve around Gen-4 Pokémon. The starters will play a role, but Kaumalat and Bamelin will also take on important roles.
