Pokémon Go Road to Sinnoh event guide: All paid bonuses, encounters, and raids

Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh is such a big event that Niantic is giving players a bridge between the completed in-person content and the global iteration, with Road to Sinnoh bringing Gen IV-focused content and options to gear up ahead of Go Tour: Sinnoh – Global.

Road to Sinnoh runs from Feb. 19 to 23 at 10pm local time, featuring content carrying over from Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles and new content that will stay during Go Tour: Sinnoh – Global. This includes three pieces of Timed Research, two of which are paid and include gameplay bonuses that will enhance your event through Feb. 25.

Whether you are just getting started with your Go Tour: Sinnoh journey and still need to pick between a Diamond and Pearl badge, or you are done with the Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh Special Research and looking to the global event, here is a full guide to the exclusive encounters, raids, and other content featured during this event.
