Tinkatink Debuts in Pokémon Go for Pokémon Horizons: Season 2 Celebration

The Horizons Celebration is back in *Pokémon GO*, and this time it’s bringing a shiny, smashing, and unmistakably pink addition to the game—Tinkatink! For the first time ever, Tinkatink, along with its evolutions Tinkatuff and Tinkaton, will be making their debut during this special event running from April 16th to April 22nd, 2025.

Those adorable hammers you see Tinkaton wielding aren’t just for looks—they’re part of what makes this Pokémon unique. In the wild, Tinkaton is known for launching rocks at Corviknight, and now you can evolve your own by collecting Candy throughout the event week. To reach the final evolution, you’ll need approximately 125 Tinkatink Candy, so be sure to make the most of the boosted spawns and encounter opportunities.

New Costumed Encounters & Paldea Region Pokémon

In addition to Tinkatink’s debut, players can look forward to some exciting costumed surprises. Keep an eye out for Floragato wearing a stylish hat featuring Liko’s pin—it will appear in the wild, hatch from Eggs, and even show up in Raid Battles. There's also a chance to encounter its Shiny variant if luck is on your side.

You might also spot Pikachu wearing Cap’s hat and Charcadet roaming around, adding even more variety to your encounters. Alongside these, several beloved Paldea region starters—Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Pawmi—are now appearing in the wild. Additionally, 7 km Eggs may hatch into familiar faces like Hatenna and Elekid, with a chance to reveal Tinkatink as well!

Snapshot Surprises and Photo Opportunities
