If you’re looking for a way to celebrate the November 19
release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl,
Pokémon GO has you covered with an event that’s already under way! This collaboration
event is an opportunity for Pokémon GO Trainers to encounter, battle, and catch
Pokémon that first appeared in the Sinnoh region. Some of these Pokémon will
even be wearing costumes inspired by the games’ protagonists, Dawn and Lucas. The
event runs until Sunday, November 21, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
Here are just some of the Pokémon that you can encounter during the event.
-
Bidoof, Kricketot, and Buizel will be appearing more frequently in the wild throughout the event.
-
Gible and Gallade will be appearing in Raid Battles.
-
Mime Jr. and Riolu will be hatching from 7 km Eggs.

The first partner Pokémon that Trainers in Sinnoh commonly
team up with—Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup—are always adorable, but wait till
you see them donning the hats Dawn and Lucas wear in the games! During the
first half of the event, you can encounter these Pokémon wearing Lucas’s hat in
the wild and these Pokémon wearing Dawn’s hat by completing Field Research
tasks. Throughout the second half of the event, you can encounter these Pokémon
wearing Dawn’s hat in the wild and these Pokémon wearing Lucas’s hat by
completing Field Research tasks.
Eggs placed in Incubators during this brilliant event will
require half the usual Hatch Distance, and Eggs placed in Super Incubators during
the event will require a third of the usual Hatch Distance.
You’ll also be able to complete an event-exclusive
Collection Challenge that’ll reward you with an encounter with Froslass.
Finally, Shinx—a Pokémon originally discovered in Sinnoh—will
be the featured November Community Day Pokémon on Sunday, November 21, 2021,
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
Time to shine, Trainers!
