How to get Sinnoh stone in Pokémon Go explained

A word of warning, however, there is no absolutely certain way to get Sinnoh stones as it all comes down to chance. Following our steps will give you the best chance of unlocking one, it just requires some patience and perseverance!

Hopefully, at some point we get some Pokémon Go promo codes that will allow us to skip the faff.

Until then, we will have to grind our way through battles and research tasks for the pleasure. With that said, let's get to it!

How to get Sinnoh stone in Pokémon Go explained

There are a few different ways to obtain Sinnoh stones and we've got each way listed below:

How to get a Sinnoh stone through Field Research

This isn't a foolproof guarantee, but you can get Sinnoh stones by completing Field Research tasks. You will need to earn a daily stamp over seven consecutive days, after which you will have a research breakthrough and be awarded with a potential Sinnoh stone.

How to get a Sinnoh through PvP Go Battle League

If you don't have the patience for research tasks, you can grind your way through the Go Battle League battling other players. Once you've defeated your opponent, there is a chance they will drop a Sinnoh stone. However, like Field Research, it's not guaranteed.

How to get a Sinnoh stone by battling Team Rocket

If you don't fancy your chances taking on other Trainers in the Go Battle League, Team Rocket are always rife to blast off again.

You will first have to see off some Go Rocket Grunts who will drop Mysterious Components in order to make the Rocket Radar – a requirement to actually find a Team Go Rocket Boss.

Once found and defeated, there's a chance they will drop a Sinnoh stone.
