In Pokémon GO you can play a new special research with Team Rocket for the Sinnoh Tour. Here, you also need to choose a path.
What kind of research is this? In Pokémon GO, the big Sinnoh Tour 2024 takes place over the weekend.
One of the features of the event is the research with Team GO Rocket. Here you work together with the actual villains.

You must complete this research before you can get the new one.
GO Tour 2024: Time will come, space will comehere.
First choose a partner Pokémon: Chelast, Panflam or Plinfa
This is the choice: At the start of the new research, you need to choose a path. You can choose between the three starters: Chelast, Panflam, and Plinfa.
This determines part of the rewards you will receive.
- In the first step, you will receive an encounter with a Shadow version of your partner Pokémon
- You will receive three candies for your partner Pokémon
- You will also get three XL candies for your partner Pokémon
- You will receive your chosen partner Pokémon more often from incense
Note: If your research does not progress after the choice, catch a Pokémon in the wild and then return to the research. Alternatively, restart the game.
What other rewards are there? That depends on whether you chose the Pearl or Diamond version. Below we show you the steps for both versions.
Important: The rewards for the first and fourth steps of the research are the same in both versions.
