Pokemon GO Tour Sinnoh Global: Dates & Times, Habitat Schedule, & Shiny Debuts

Pokemon GO Tour is back in 2024, this time taking trainers to the mountainous region of Sinnoh. This means players will have the opportunity to enjoy a weekend full of Gen 4 fun featuring creatures first introduced in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl.

Here’s everything you need to know about Pokemon GO Tour Sinnoh.

When is Pokemon GO Tour Sinnoh? Global & Los Angeles

Pokemon GO Tour Sinnoh will take place on two separate weekends. The first weekend is for the in-person Los Angeles event, and the second is for the Global event. Below are the dates and times for each event:

Diamond Badge vs Pearl Badge in Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO Tour Sinnoh follows in the footsteps of the previous Tour events, giving players a choice that will change the bonuses and gameplay effects accordingly. However, unlike past choices, choosing the Diamond or Pearl badge won’t affect wild spawns. Instead, it will change which legendary the player encounters at the end of the Special Research questline.

You can check out our full breakdown of the Pokemon GO Badge choice to learn about all of the bonuses they provide.
