The Horizons Celebration event is making a vibrant return to Pokémon Go, and it's bringing along the delightful and pink-hued Tinkatink for its grand debut. From April 16th to 22nd, players can encounter Tinkatink and its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton, for the first time. These charming Pokémon are not just cute; they come equipped with hammers that are more than mere accessories. Tinkaton, in particular, is famous for its rock-throwing antics against Corviknight. To evolve your Tinkatink all the way to Tinkaton, you'll need to gather around 125 Candy throughout the event.
Adding to the excitement, a costumed Floragato sporting Liko's pin will be making appearances in the wild, hatching from Eggs, and participating in Raids. Keep an eye out for its Shiny variant, which could be a lucky catch. Other Pokémon like Pikachu donning Cap's hat and Charcadet may also make an appearance, adding to the variety of encounters.
A selection of beloved Paldea Pokémon, including Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi, will be roaming the wild. Meanwhile, seven km Eggs will hatch familiar faces such as Hatenna and Elekid, with a chance to hatch Tinkatink as well. Don't miss out on the snapshot surprises, as characters from the Horizons series and their Pokémon might photobomb your pictures, adding a fun twist to your event experience.
On the battle front, Pikachu in Cap's hat will be equipped with the powerful move Volt Tackle. Raids will feature a mix of 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 halved, and there will be increased chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon along with higher Stardust payouts.
Engage in Field Research and take advantage of both free and paid Timed Research opportunities, which offer additional 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, which will help you stock up on necessary items.
