She’s here! Tinkaton hammers her way into Pokémon Go in couple weeks
Paldea's metal-eating, hammer-wielding and Corviknight-hating fan-favorite Pokémon is FINALLY arriving in Pokémon Go, with Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, and Tinkaton making their debuts in the mobile game from April 16 to April 22. The queen arrives as part of Pokémon Go's The Pokémon Horizons: The Series Celebration event, which along with Tinkaton and its pre-evolutions brings back Captain Pikachu and its Shiny form for those who missed out on it last time, as well as a brand new Floragato wearing a hat with Liko's pin as the new costumed Pokémon spawning during the event. It's a big celebration, but let's be honest, if you are anything like me you are ONLY excited to see Tinkaton smash its way into the game finally, even if its Shiny form is nowhere to be seen. Tinkatink evolved into Tinkatuff with 25 Tinkatink Candy, whereas you can evolve Tinkatuff into Tinkaton with 100 Tinkatink Candy. So no unique evolution method will be needed (thank Arceus). The big downside to this, sadly, is that Tinkatink is not a wild Pokémon spawn and will be locked to 7km Eggs instead, forcing you to break out the Egg Incubators in hopes of finding one. After the event ends, Tinkatink will only be found in 10km Eggs. You can also get Elekid, Hatenna, and Charcadet in 7km eggs during the event but who cares about those Pokémon when Tinkatink is on the line!? You can pay an extra $4.99 though to get Paid Timed Research during the event that rewards encounters with Tinkatink, an event-themed avatar pose, and an Egg Incubator if you want to make sure you get the best girl in all Paldea without having to rely on Egg RNG. In terms of event bonuses, Team Go Rocket balloons will be appearing more frequently, with 1/2 Egg Hatch Distance when eggs are placed into Incubators during the event. Lastly, there will be an increased chance to encounter both Captain Pikachu and Floragato wearing a hat with Liko's pin. In terms of Wild Encounters, the following Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild: Quagsire Shuckle Slugma Nosepass Snouron Sprigatito Floragato wearing a hat with Liko's pin Fuecoco Quaxly Pawmi Pikachu wearing Cap's hat (Captain Pikachu) Captain Pikachu will be mostly found in raids over wild spawns, sadly, but it can learn the exclusive Charged Attack Volt Tackle if you catch one, so at least there's that. Theres also the usual offerings of Raids and other bonuses, but let's be honest. You and I are only here for Tinkaton. So let's get out there and catch a Hundo, trainers! The post She’s here!
