Pokémon Horizons Event Debuts Tinkatink

• Tinkatink and its evolved forms make their Pokémon Go debut
• Other Paldea region Pokémon are also joining the action
• Plenty of rewards are available to earn

The Horizons Celebration returns to Pokémon Go, bringing something shiny, powerful, and distinctly pink—Tinkatink has arrived. For the first time, Tinkatink along with its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton, are being added to the game during a special event running from April 16th to 22nd. 

The hammers these Pokémon carry aren’t just decorative. Tinkaton is famous for hurling rocks at Corviknight, and now you can evolve your own by gathering Candy throughout the week. You’ll need around 125 Candy to reach the final evolution.

Alongside Tinkatink’s debut, there’s a new costumed variation. Floragato wearing a hat with Liko’s pin will appear in the wild, hatch from Eggs, and even appear in Raids. Lucky trainers might even encounter a Shiny version. Several other Pokémon, including Pikachu wearing Cap’s hat and Charcadet, could also make an appearance.

A selection of Paldea favorites such as Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi are roaming the wild, while 7 km Eggs may hatch familiar faces like Hatenna and Elekid—plus a chance at Tinkatink. Keep your camera ready for snapshot surprises too, as characters from Horizons and their Pokémon might photobomb your pictures.

On the battle side, Pikachu in Cap’s hat knows a special move—Volt Tackle—and Raids feature a strong lineup including Charizard, Metagross, Alolan Muk, and more Floragato. For bonus hunters, Team Go Rocket balloons will appear more often, Egg hatch distances are cut in half, and both Shiny encounter rates and Stardust rewards are boosted.

There’s also Field Research, plus free and paid Timed Research offering additional rewards—including an exclusive avatar pose. You can also prepare for the event by purchasing the Celebration Event Ultra Ticket Box from the Pokémon Go Web Store for $4.99.
