The Sinnoh Stone in Pokémon GO is a popular item. Now, Niantic promises 5 guaranteed Sinnoh Stones on Community Day. However, these will only be available for a limited time in Pokémon GO.
What’s new: Soon every player will receive 5 guaranteed Sinnoh Stones. You will get these in connection with the Community Day in February. You just need to participate in Trainer Battles.
This is how you get the guaranteed Sinnoh Stones
This is stated in the announcement: For Community Day, Niantic promises in their in-game announcement 5 rewards during the weekend of Community Day. So you will receive 5 rewards instead of the usual 3 on both Saturday and Sunday.
Additionally, this announcement states “Earn up to 5 Sinnoh Stones through Trainer Battles on Community Day.” Players have speculated whether these stones are guaranteed or if only the chance is increased.
This is what Niantic says: In a Twitter post, Niantic support clarified. They confirm that during the 3 hours on Saturday, from 11 AM to 2 PM, the Sinnoh Stones from Trainer Battles are guaranteed. So, if you battle on that day, you will receive 5 guaranteed Sinnoh Stones.
Why is this good? The Sinnoh Stone is definitely not a common item. You can only obtain the stone from research breakthroughs and Trainer Battles. Many players have complained about the rarity of the stone. Now, you are guaranteed to receive 5 of these stones. So far, the item has helped 11 Pokémon to evolve.
What should I use the Sinnoh Stones for? Through the Community Day in February, you will have the chance to evolve Mamoswine for the first time. It will be the 12th Pokémon in Pokémon GO that you can evolve with this stone.
Since Mamoswine will be the best Ice attacker in the game, it’s wise to evolve several copies. So, preferably use your Sinnoh Stones for that purpose.
For those who haven’t evolved the remaining 11 Pokémon with the Sinnoh Stone yet, focus especially on the evolution of Electivire, Snorunt, and Roserade. These 3 Pokémon are the best monsters that you can get with the evolution item.
