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

The Horizons Celebration event is making a dazzling return to Pokémon Go, and it's bringing the adorable and pink Tinkatink along with it. From April 16th to 22nd, you'll have the chance to encounter Tinkatink and its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton, for the very first time. These Pokémon are not just cute; they come with hammers that are more than decorative. Tinkaton, for example, is famous for its rock-throwing antics against Corviknight. To evolve Tinkatink all the way to Tinkaton, you'll need to gather around 125 Candy throughout the event.

Adding to the excitement, Floragato will be strutting around in a special hat featuring Liko's pin. You can find this costumed Pokémon in the wild, hatching from Eggs, and appearing in Raids. Keep your eyes peeled for a Shiny version too! Other Pokémon like Pikachu donning Cap's hat and Charcadet might also make an appearance.

A variety of Paldea favorites such as Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi will be roaming the wild. Meanwhile, seven km Eggs could hatch familiar faces like Hatenna and Elekid, with a chance to hatch Tinkatink as well. Don't forget to snap some photos, as you might get a surprise photo-bomb from Horizons characters and their Pokémon.

On the battle front, Pikachu in Cap's hat will come 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 for Shiny encounters and higher Stardust payouts.

Engage in Field Research and take advantage of both free and paid Timed Research opportunities, which offer extra rewards like 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.
