Pokemon GOhas announced the debut of the Tinkatink evolutionary line in the Pokemon Horizons: The Series Celebration event on April 16. While some generations are already fully available inPokemon GO, others, such as Gen 9, still have pocket monsters to be added to the augmented-reality game.
The arrival of Paldea inPokemon GOhappened in September 2023, when 21 Gen 9 Pokemon debuted in the game. This first wave added Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, their evolutions, and other popular names like Lechonk and Pawmot. Since then, Niantic has periodically brought more Paldean critters, such as Shroodle and Grafaiai, whichdebuted inPokemon GOearlier this year, and Paldean Tauros, available in a new event until April 7. Now, developers have announced that another Gen 9 Pokemon is finally coming to the game.

It will start on Wednesday, April 16, at 10 am and end on Tuesday, July 28, 2025, at 8 pm local time. During this period, players can hatch Tinkatink from 7 km eggs. After the event, the monster may hatch from 10 km eggs. Players can use 25 Tinkatink Candy to evolve Tinkatink into Tinkatuff. In addition, 100 Tinkatink Candy can be used to evolve Tinkatuff into Tinkaton, one ofScarlet and Violet’s most popular Pokemon.
