Sinnoh Celebration event research tasks explained in Pokémon Go
What Sinnoh inspired rewards can you unlock?
Sinnoh Celebration research tasks are a series of limited-time quests in Pokémon Go, which will help you find a Sinnoh Stone and various Gen 4 Pokémon.
You'll find these tasks by spinning PokéStops, alongside the current roster of monthly Research Tasks, which are currently available. Don't be surprised if you need to complete a couple of spins to find them!

Below you'll find the Sinnoh Celebration research tasks, and rewards, that will be live in Pokémon Go between Friday 7th February to Monday 10th February, starting at 8am (local time) and finishing at 10pm (local time).
Although you can only find these research tasks during this time period, you can complete and claim their rewards if you hold onto them once the event ends:
Sinnoh Celebration research task list:
- Catch 5 Kricketot - Combee encounter

- Hatch 5 eggs - Sinnoh Stone
- Use a Sinnoh Stone to evolve a Pokémon - Cranidos encounter
- Win a raid - Hippopotas encounter

The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 1 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
What else do you need to know about the Sinnoh Celebration research rewards?
The obvious main draw of this event is the Sinnoh Stone you can receive for completing the 'Hatch 5 eggs' research task, especially since using this stone to evolve a Pokémon will complete another of the research tasks. Sinnoh Stones can be rather hard to find in Pokémon Go and this weekend is a great time to hunt one down.
If you need to add a Vespiquen to your Pokédex this is also a great weekend for you. Since only female Combee can evolve into Vespiquen, the Combee dedicated research task will help increase your chances of encountering one, especially since it's quite an easy task to complete.
Finally, throughout this event a set of Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, including Riolu and Gible, will be appearing in 7km eggs, so it's a good idea to start sending, and opening, any gifts you might have.
