Catch Tinkatink and More at the Epic Pokémon Horizons Celebration Event!

Pokemon Go is honoring the Pokemon Horizons series by hosting an event featuring the premiere of Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, and Tinkaton, along with fresh Egg hatch options, Raid bosses, rewards, and a whole lot more!

A new Pokemon Horizons-themed occasion is set to appear in Niantic’s game, marking the resurgence of Season 2 of the animated series – “The Quest for Laqua”.

This round, we’ll introduce for the first time Gen 9’s Tinkatink and its family tree, along with fresh costume-wearing creatures and guest appearances of certain Pokémon and human characters from the TV show.

In this new version, we’re set to unveil the initial appearance of Gen 9’s Tinkatink and its lineage, as well as brand-new costumed critters and cameos by some Pokémon and human characters from the animated series.

Or even more casually:

This go-round, we’ll be breaking ground with Gen 9’s Tinkatink and its relatives, plus some snazzy costume-wearing creatures and guest spots by Pokémon and show characters!

All three options convey the intended meaning while providing a bit of variety in style.

Pokemon Horizons event: Date & time

The Pokemon Go’s Pokemon Horizons: The Series celebration event will take place from Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM to Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 8:00 PM in your local time.

Despite its brief duration of just a week, players are given ample time to capture and develop Tinkatink into Tinkaton, as well as complete the numerous Research tasks to reap the associated rewards.

Pokemon debuts

Up there, it’s been noted that a new Pokemon called Tinkatink, which is both Fairy and Steel-type, and specializes in Metalsmith, will make its appearance in the game, accompanied by its evolutionary forms, the hammer masters, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that if you manage to nab a Tinkatink, you can upgrade it into a Tinkatuff by spending 25 Candies. And

Furthermore, a new Pokemon in costume, Floragato, will now sport a hat embellished with Liko’s pin. Notably, this unique outfit will also include the possibility of it appearing as a Shiny version.
