The Sinnoh Stone in Pokémon GO was previously guaranteed from the research breakthrough. This guarantee is no longer there.
What is the Sinnoh Stone? The Sinnoh Stone helps in the evolution of Pokémon that received an evolution in Generation 4.
This stone is extremely rare and now even harder to obtain. We will tell you how to get the stone and what is different now.
No guaranteed Sinnoh Stone anymore
How did one previously get the Sinnoh Stone? The Sinnoh Stone could previously be obtained from any research breakthrough. So after collecting field research for seven days. In addition to the Sinnoh Stone, you also received the Pokémon Ninjatom.
What is different now? Since the end of the Let’s GO Events, the first trainers have not received a Sinnoh Stone from their research breakthrough anymore. It seemed that the item was being distributed randomly, as other players continued to receive a Sinnoh Stone.
Community believed it was a bug: Initially, the community on Reddit thought it was a bug. A similar issue occurred at the beginning of the month when players mistakenly received Zapdos instead of Ninjatom as a research breakthrough.
Bug has not been fixed: Trainers still do not receive a guaranteed Sinnoh Stone from their research breakthrough. It is now assumed that this step was intentional.
Community is upset: The community is reacting annoyed to this change. It was already difficult to obtain a Sinnoh Stone, namely a maximum of every seven days. Now it is even harder. Since there is currently no other way to obtain this stone, many players are now angry.
Many Pokémon to obtain through the Sinnoh Stone: The Sinnoh Stone currently allows the evolution of eleven Pokémon. When additional evolutions are released, you will need this stone for even more evolutions. If the item continues to be so rare, it will take ages to complete your Pokédex, according to the community.
Use the stone wisely: As the Sinnoh Stone is now even rarer, it is even more important to use this stone effectively. These Pokémon you should evolve first with it.
What do you think of this change? Is it justified?
