Pokémon GO is celebrating the animated series Pokémon Horizons: The Series with a special in-game event running from April 16 to April 22, 2025. This event marks the debut of Tinkatink and its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton, in the game.
Tinkatink's Arrival
Tinkatink, a Fairy and Steel-type Pokémon from the Paldea region, can be obtained by hatching 7 km Eggs during the event. After the event concludes, Tinkatink will shift to 10 km Eggs. To evolve Tinkatink into Tinkatuff and then Tinkaton, players will need 25 and 100 Candy, respectively.
Event Highlights
- Costumed Pokémon: Pikachu wearing Cap’s hat and Floragato with Liko’s pin are appearing more frequently in the wild. Both have increased chances of being Shiny.
- Egg Hatches: Alongside Tinkatink, Elekid, Hatenna, and Charcadet are hatching from 7 km Eggs.
- Raids: One-Star Raids feature Pikachu (Cap’s hat), Chansey, and Rockruff. Three-Star Raids include Charizard, Alolan Muk, Metagross, and Floragato (Liko’s pin).
- Research Tasks: Free Timed Research offers encounters with Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Pikachu (Cap’s hat), along with XP and Stardust. A premium Timed Research, priced at $4.99, provides additional rewards, including an Incubator, an event-themed avatar pose, and encounters with Tinkatink.
- Event Bonuses: Team GO Rocket balloons are appearing more frequently, and Egg Hatch distances are halved when Eggs are placed in Incubators during the event.
