Are you trying to figure out how to get a Sinnoh Stone in Pokémon GO? Sinnoh Stones are necessary to evolve quite a few Pokémon in Pokémon GO , but they are relatively rare items to find.

In this article we'll go through all the ways you can get a Sinnoh Stone as well as outline all the Pokémon that need this special stone to evolve, so you know which ones to save for.

Things You Should Know

  2. While Training isn't the best chance to get a Sinnoh Stone, there's still a chance. For Great League Training you have a 5% chance of getting a Sinnoh Stone, Ultra League Training is 6%, and Master League Training is 10%. [1]

  1. If you win battles in the GO Battle League, one of the random items you can get is a Sinnoh Stone.
  2. You must have a Premium Battle Pass to compete in the Premium Rewards tier, but you can get the Sinnoh Stone with the Basic Rewards tier as well. The Premium tier doesn't have any better chance of getting a Sinnoh Stone than the Basic tier. [2]
  3. In order to get a chance to get a Sinnoh Stone you must win battles. You only need to win the amount of battles necessary to get to the "random item" reward, which looks like a berry silhouette with a question mark over it.
    • After you complete the five rounds of battle, you can enter the tier again to try for more Sinnoh Stones.

Research Breakthrough

  1. When you spin a PokéStop you can get a Field Research task, and you can have up to three active tasks at a time. These tasks can lead to you getting a Sinnoh Stone, though it takes time.
    • One PokéStop will provide the same task for all players in a single day, and if you've already completed the task from a particular PokéStop for the day you can't claim it again. [3]
  2. Completing a task will get you a stamp once per day. You can complete more tasks in a day but you won't get stamps.
  3. On the 7th day of getting a stamp, you'll get a research breakthrough—it's the brown package on the Field Research screen. One of the rewards you can get for getting a research breakthrough is a Sinnoh Stone. [4]
