Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh Breaks A Major Beloved Trend
Niantic introduces on-location and global versions of Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh, but Dex completionists may not be satisfied this time.
Article Summary
- Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh event splits into on-location in LA and a global version.
- Not all Pokémon from the Sinnoh Dex will be available, Arceus is notably absent.
- New Shiny Pokémon include Shiny Shaymin; Global event features unique Masterwork Research.
- Special Research, various wild spawns, eggs, and raids detailed for February 24-25 event.
Niantic has announced a new in-person event: Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles. This event is the first time that a region-themed Tour event is being hosted as an on-location celebration. It's happening in California on February 17th and 18th, with a free global event the following week on the 24th and 25th. Let's take a look at the details of the global version, which sees an end to one of these Tours' main features.
The first three region-themed Tours saw Pokémon GO feature all species from a region, tasking Trainers with completing their Dex… but that ends here. Sinnoh's Dex will remain incomplete, with some missing Pokémon, including Arceus.
So… that's what isn't happening.
