Tinkatink Debuts in Pokémon Go to Celebrate Pokémon Horizons: Season 2

The Horizons Celebration event is making a triumphant return to Pokémon Go, and it's bringing a splash of color and excitement with the debut of Tinkatink and its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton. Mark your calendars for April 16th to 22nd, as these charming Pokémon, known for their pink hue and playful hammers, will make their first appearance in the game. Tinkaton, in particular, is famed for its rock-throwing antics against Corviknight, and you'll need approximately 125 Candy to evolve your Tinkatink all the way to Tinkaton.

Adding to the event's charm, a costumed Floragato donning a hat with Liko's pin will be making appearances in the wild, hatching from Eggs, and participating in Raids. Keep your eyes peeled for a Shiny version of this unique Floragato. You might also encounter other Pokémon such as Pikachu sporting Cap's hat and Charcadet during your adventures.

The event isn't just about Tinkatink; it's also a celebration of Paldea's beloved Pokémon. You'll find Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi roaming in the wild. Meanwhile, seven km Eggs could hatch Tinkatink along with familiar faces like Hatenna and Elekid. Don't forget to snap some photos, as you might be surprised by photo-bombs from Horizons characters and their Pokémon.

On the combat front, Pikachu in Cap's hat will come equipped with the special move Volt Tackle. Raids will feature a mix of powerful Pokémon, including Charizard, Metagross, Alolan Muk, and more Floragato. For those looking to maximize their rewards, Team Go Rocket balloons will appear more frequently, Egg hatch distances will be reduced by half, and there will be increased chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon and earning more Stardust.

Engage in Field Research and take advantage of both free and paid Timed Research to earn extra rewards, including an exclusive avatar pose. To prepare for the event, consider purchasing the Celebration Event Ultra Ticket Box from the Pokémon Go Web Store for $4.99.
