Destination Sinnoh, Special Research tasks

Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Sinnoh is fast approaching, but before the big event opens its doors, players can prepare with Destination Sinnoh starting on February 19, 2024, at 10 a.m. local time. If you like preparation, how about getting ready for preparation?

Although Destination Sinnoh only begins next week, on February 15, 2024, at 10am local time, a free Special Research is already available for all players of the mobile title – you don’t need to purchase any tickets to receive it. All you need to do is log in to the game.

Here are all the free tasks of the Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Destination Sinnoh Special Research.

Go Tour 2024: Destination Sinnoh | All free Special Research tasks —

You’ll be able to complete this Special Research as often as you like once you’ve redeemed it, so be sure to access it after February 15, 2024, 10:00 AM local time. It’s a fairly short questline and some of its rewards can only be described as Niantic’s teasing of players, but you’ll also get a Legendary Pokémon during the Go Tour and a lot of Mega Energy.

Phase 1 of 3

Catch a Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region: Go Tour 2024 Sticker x10
Complete all tasks in this stage: XP x2,024, Stardust x2,024, Bidoof

Choose a route

At this stage you can choose between Diamond and Pearl. Both options provide different rewards during Go Tour 2024 and the remainder of this Special Research, so choose carefully.

Choose the Diamond version to get the following bonuses during the global portion of the Go Tour 2024:

• Encounter Dialga (Original Forme) with Time Smash as a guaranteed move.
• Doubling the duration of Timebreaker’s Adventure Effect.
• Get additional Dialga candies.

Choose the Pearl version to get the following bonuses during the global portion of the Go Tour 2024:

• Encounter with Palkia (Original Forme) with Space Fend as a guaranteed move.
• Doubles the duration of Rift’s Adventure Effect.
• Get additional Palkia candies.

Phase 2 of 3

Diamond version

• Feed your friend: Larvitar Candy x10
• Fuel your friend: Tyranitar Mega Energy x100
• Complete all tasks in this phase: Diamond Badge, Dialga Candy x3, Larvitar

Pearl version

• Feed your friend: Bagon Candy x10
• Feed your friend: Salamence Mega Energy x100
• Complete all tasks in this phase: Pearl Badge, Palkia Candy x3, Bagon

Phase 3 of 3

Diamond and Pearl version

• Catch a Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region: Bidoof Candy x10
• Complete all tasks in this stage: XP x2,024, Stardust x2,024, Bidoof

We cannot advise you whether to choose Diamond or Pearl, because it totally depends on your personal preferences, whether it is the two Legendaries and perhaps which of the two mega evolutions you have yet to achieve.
