Pokémon Go celebrates the arrival of Pokémon Horizons: Season 2 with the debut of Tinkatink

The Horizons Celebration event is making a grand return to Pokémon Go, and it's bringing the delightful and colorful Tinkatink along with its evolutions, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton, into the game for the very first time. Mark your calendars for the special event running from April 16th to 22nd, where you'll witness the debut of these smashingly pink Pokémon.

Tinkaton, known for its playful yet powerful rock-launching antics against Corviknight, can be evolved with the help of Candy. You'll need approximately 125 Candy to reach the final stage of evolution, so keep those Poké Balls handy as you explore.

Adding to the excitement, a costumed Floragato sporting a hat with Liko's pin will be available in the wild, hatching from Eggs, and appearing in Raids. Keep an eye out for the Shiny version of this charming Pokémon. Other favorites like Pikachu in Cap's hat and Charcadet might also make surprise appearances.

Alongside Tinkatink, a selection of beloved Paldea Pokémon such as Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi will be roaming the wild. Seven km Eggs will hatch familiar faces including Hatenna and Elekid, with a chance to hatch Tinkatink as well. Don't forget to take snapshots, as characters from Horizons might photo-bomb your pictures, adding an extra layer of fun to your event experience.

For those eager to battle, Pikachu in Cap's hat comes equipped with the special move Volt Tackle. Raid battles will feature a diverse lineup including Charizard, Metagross, Alolan Muk, and more Floragato. Team Go Rocket balloons will appear more frequently, Egg hatch distances will be halved, and both Shiny encounter rates and Stardust rewards will be increased, making it an excellent time for bonus hunters.

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. If you're looking to stock up for the event, consider purchasing the Celebration Event Ultra Ticket Box from the Pokémon Go Web Store for $4.99.
