The Pokémon Go Sinnoh Celebration Event is live this week and offers some new captures and a ton of rewards for Trainers looking to take part. We’re getting increased spawns, special Eggs, and some Raid bosses too. The big focus is on introducing a new generation of Pokémon to the mobile game. Stardust rewards and encounters with Sinnoh Pokémon for completing the various tasks for the event.
The event runs from Tuesday, January 12, 2021, at 10:00 AM until Sunday, January 17, 2021, at 8:00 PM Local Time.
You can also complete the Collection challenge for the week, as it will reward you with some items. You can earn some Stardust, Magnetic lure, and 15 Ultra Balls for doing so.
