Pokemon Go announces new Sinnoh Tour details

New Origin Formes and Adventure Effects

First off, Pokemon Go announced that both Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia will debut during the Sinnoh Tour event. Depending on whether trainers choose the Diamond or Pearl Version, they will encounter Origin Forme Dialga or Palkia, respectively.

Additionally, these two Origin Forme Pokemon introduce a new mechanic called Adventure Effects. Adventure Effects act as temporary bonuses that cost Stardust and Candy to activate.

Origin Forme Dialga will have Roar of Time, which pauses the timer on Incense, Daily Adventure Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces while active.

Origin Forme Palkia will have Spacial Rend, which allows trainers to encounter wild Pokemon from an increased distance.

New Pokemon and Shiny debuts

White-Striped Basculin will debut during the Los Angeles event and will be exclusive to Routes throughout the duration. It’s worth noting that White-Striped Basculin will not be able to evolve upon release.

Additionally, Hisuian Voltorb, Hisuian Electrode, Hisuian Qwilfish, and Overqwil will receive Shiny forms during the Sinnoh Tour event.

A Paranormal Puzzle event featuring Rotom

Players who’ve purchased a ticket to the Sinnoh Tour Los Angeles event can partake in the ‘A Paranormal Puzzle’ event. According to the official Pokemon Go blog, trainers will have to work with one another to piece together a secret code that unlocks an encounter with Rotom.

However, once trainers have deciphered the code at the Rose Bowl Stadium, players worldwide will be able to redeem it as well to encounter Rotom for themselves.

Party Play! Challenges featuring Regigigas

Niantic

Players who’ve purchased a ticket to the Sinnoh Tour Los Angeles event can participate in a new set of Party Play! challenges. Trainers will need to work together with a group of friends to encounter Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas.

That’s all the new information surrounding Pokemon Go’s Sinnoh Tour event. Those wanting to participate in the Los Angeles event can purchase tickets for $30 (or your local equivalent).
