Tinkatink Debuts in Pokémon Go for Pokémon Horizons: Season 2 Celebration

The Horizons Celebration event is making a grand return to Pokémon Go, and it's introducing the delightful and vibrant Tinkatink along with its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton. This special event, running from April 16th to 22nd, marks the first appearance of these Pokémon in the game, and they’re sure to bring a splash of color and excitement.

Tinkaton, the final evolution, is not just about looks; it's known for its playful yet strategic use of hammers, famously used to launch rocks at Corviknight. To evolve your Tinkatink all the way to Tinkaton, you'll need to gather around 125 Candy throughout the event week.

Adding to the fun, Floragato will be appearing in a special costumed version, sporting a hat adorned with Liko’s pin. You might encounter this stylish Pokémon in the wild, hatching from Eggs, or challenging you in Raids. Keep your eyes peeled for a Shiny Floragato too! Other Pokémon, such as Pikachu wearing Cap’s hat and Charcadet, could also make an appearance.

Several beloved Pokémon from the Paldea region, including Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi, will be roaming the wild. Meanwhile, seven km Eggs will hatch familiar favorites like Hatenna and Elekid, with a chance to hatch Tinkatink as well. Don't forget to snap photos during the event; you might just catch a photo bomb from Horizons characters and their Pokémon.

For those eager to battle, Pikachu in Cap’s hat comes equipped with the powerful Volt Tackle move. Raids will feature a variety of Pokémon including Charizard, Metagross, Alolan Muk, and more Floragato. Team Go Rocket balloons will appear more frequently, and with Egg hatch distances cut in half, you'll have more opportunities to hatch Eggs. Plus, enjoy increased chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon and higher Stardust rewards.

Engage in Field Research and take advantage of both free and paid Timed Research opportunities, where you can earn exclusive rewards, including a unique avatar pose.
