The 10 best evolutions with Sinnoh Stone
How was the ranking created? Since Sinnoh Stones are not so easy to come by in Pokémon GO, we have listed 10 Pokémon below, for which the evolutions are particularly strong and you should prioritize using the Sinnoh Stone on:
- Roselia to Roserade
- Keifel to Mamutel
- Rhyperior to Rihornior
- Electabuzz to Electivire
- Togetic to Togekiss
- Krookodile to Krookodile
- Yanma to Yanmega
- Sneasel to Weavile
- Tangela to Tangrowth
- Skorgla to Skorgro
What is the Sinnoh Stone? The Sinnoh Stone is a special item that you need to evolve certain Pokémon from Generation 4, which originates from the Sinnoh region. You can recognize the item by the round purple ball and the crystals on it.
How can you get the Sinnoh Stone? Sinnoh Stones are relatively difficult to obtain in the game. You can receive them with some luck through rewards in Trainer battles, by winning in the GO Battle League, or if you have defeated the Rocket Boss Giovanni.
Sometimes you can also secure a Sinnoh Stone by spinning at PokéStops or by opening gifts. However, even here, the evolution item is correspondingly rare.
1. Roserade
What kind of Pokémon is this? The Pokémon Roserade comes from the 4th generation and belongs to the types Grass and Poison. It can be evolved from Roselia using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Roserade can especially impress with its high attack value. Its endurance and defense are also solid. With Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, it deals significant damage to opponents, and it can also score well with Razor Leaf and Leaf Storm. Therefore, it is one of the best Grass and Poison attackers in Pokémon GO.
2. Mamutel
What kind of Pokémon is this? Mamutel evolves from Quiekel to Keifel. To evolve from Keifel to Mamutel, you need to use 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. The Ice and Ground Pokémon comes from the 4th generation.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Like Roserade, Mamutel can also impress with really strong attack values and high endurance. It only has a slight weakness in defense. Its moveset Powder Snow and Avalanche causes significant damage, which makes it one of the best Ice attackers in the game.
Furthermore, Mamutel is a strong candidate in the Master League of the GO Battle League. In there, best use a moveset of Powder Snow, Avalanche, and Steam Roll.
3. Rihornior
What kind of Pokémon is this? Also from the 4th generation, Rihornior is a Ground and Rock Pokémon. This is the final evolution of Rhyhorn. Again, 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone are needed to evolve from Rhyperior, the first evolution, to Rihornior.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Rihornior impresses especially with high attack and endurance values. Its defense value is also commendable. With Catapult and Rock Throw, it deals significant damage to opponents and is thus the best Rock attacker in Pokémon GO.
4. Elevoltek
What kind of Pokémon is this? If you evolve Electabuzz using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone, you will get Elevoltek. It is an Electric-type Pokémon from the 4th generation.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Elevoltek can also impress with a high attack value. However, its endurance and defense are not as strong. With its charged attack Thunder Punch, it deals particularly high damage to opponents, which places it among the top 10 Electric attackers in Pokémon GO.
5. Togekiss
What kind of Pokémon is this? The Fairy and Flying Pokémon is the evolution of Togetic. This monster from the 4th generation requires 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone to evolve, just like all other monsters on this list.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Even though Togekiss has only average values, it can score well as a Fairy attacker with its moveset of Charm and Dazzling Gleam in raids. Additionally, it performs well in the Master League with Charm, Ancient Power, and Flamethrower. Alternatively, it serves excellently as a strong Arena defender .
6. Kramshef
What kind of Pokémon is this? Another Pokémon from the Sinnoh region that requires a Sinnoh Stone for evolution is Kramshef. This evolution of Kramurx belongs to the types Dark and Flying.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Kramshef benefits mainly from strong attack and endurance values. Its defense is rather poor, which makes it less durable in battles.
With Peck and Air Slash, it can perform well, especially as a Flying Pokémon, and thus ranks among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
7. Yanmega
What kind of Pokémon is this? The Bug and Flying Pokémon from the 4th generation is an evolution of Yanma. Again, you need 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone for evolution.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Yanmega can especially shine with a strong moveset of Bug Bite and Bug Buzz. It also has strong values in attack and endurance, making it a good Bug attacker for raids.
8. Snibunna
What kind of Pokémon is this? The Dark and Ice Pokémon Snibunna also originates from the 4th generation. It is the evolution of Sniebel.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Snibunna especially impresses with a high attack value. Its endurance and defense are solid. For use in raids, it is well-suited as both an Ice attacker with Ice Shard and Avalanche, as well as a Dark attacker with a moveset of Foul Play and Leech Life.
9. Tangoloss
What kind of Pokémon is this? Tangoloss is a Grass Pokémon from the 4th generation that can be evolved from Tangela using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? While its attack and defense values are rather solid, it particularly impresses with its strong endurance. Its fast charge move Vine Whip is quite quick. Although it cannot reach Roserade’s level, it is still one of the best Grass attackers.
10. Skorgro
What kind of Pokémon is this? If you evolve Skorgla using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone, you will get the Ground and Flying Pokémon Skorgro.
Why is the evolution worthwhile? Skorgro particularly shines with a high defense value. Thus, especially in its Shadow variant in the Ultra League, it is a top candidate. Use it best with a moveset of Night Slash, Night Slash, and Earthquake.
Other Pokémon you can evolve with Sinnoh Stone
In addition to the 10 Pokémon mentioned above, whose evolutions are particularly worthwhile, there are other monsters that can only evolve with a Sinnoh Stone. So if you have any Sinnoh Stones left, you can also evolve the following monsters:
- Slurpuff to Slurpuffe
- Porygon 2 to Porygon-Z
- Drifloon to Drifblim
- Magmar to Magmortar
- Driftloon to Drifblim
- Kirlia to Gallade
- Swablu to Altaria
- Snorunt to Froslass
By the way: Another way to evolve monsters is by trading Pokémon. We also show all trade evolutions in Pokémon GO.
