Pokémon GO holds a new Shinnoh event

 Pokémon GO holds a new Shinnoh event in January ahead of the Kanto Tour

We see all the Pokémon and rewards from the Shinnoh Collection challenge, which will arrive a week before Hoenn and the Kanto Pokémon GO Tour.

The Pokémon GO Tour Kanto event is the first big date of 2021 for Niantic's game. It will serve to kick off the year that commemorates the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon saga and offers a unique opportunity to get hold of the original 150 Pokémon. It will take place next Saturday, January 20 and for Niantic it is such a special event that the developer has decided to liven up the wait by celebrating several previous tributes. If this week is being the tribute to the Unova region (check here all the details, you are still on time), the next will be the Shinnoh tribute.

Pokémon GO: date and time of the tribute to Shinnoh

This new Pokémon GO event will begin on Tuesday, January 12, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. and will end on Sunday, January 17 at 8:00 p.m. (local time). From then on, and without giving us a moment of respite, the game will pay tribute to Hoenn and the details of the long-awaited Kanto Tour will be finalized. 

Here are some of the Shinnoh tribute features, Pokémon, and rewards:

• Most Frequently Appearing Wild Pokémon: Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Bidoof, Cranidos, Shieldon, Combee, Buizel, Drifloon, Glameow, Purugly, Hippopotas, Skorupi, and Snover. Hopefully even shiny Buizel.
• Pokémon that hatch from 5 km eggs that hatch during those days: Kricketot, Budew, Cranidos, Shieldon, Bronzor, Bonsly, Hippopotas and Croagunk.
• Event Exclusive Research Task Rewards: Stardust and encounters with Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Cranidos, Shieldon, and Buizel.

Shinnoh's Pokémon in raids: which ones will appear

• Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Shinx, Buizel, and Gible will appear in one-star raids.
• Lopunny, Hippowdon, Toxicroak, and Lumineon will appear in three-star raids.
• Heatran will appear in five-star raids.
• Mega-Charizard Y, Mega-Blastoise, and Mega-Abomasnow will appear in Mega Raids.

Lastly, there will be a new collection challenge during the event, which this time will consist of catching Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Cranidos, Shieldon, Combee, Buizel, Dark Stunky, and Dark Snover. If we complete it, we will be able to obtain the following objects as a reward: Stardust, a Magnetic Bait Module and 15 Ultra Balls. You can enter the “Today” view to track your progress and see how you are doing. And remember that, even in celebration, Niantic and Pokémon ask for prudence and respect when playing to comply with the rules stipulated by the health authorities.
