Pokemon GO Unveils Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia for Sinnoh Event
Niantic, the developer behind the popular mobile game Pokemon GO, has officially announced the inclusion of Origin Formes for Dialga and Palkia in the upcoming Pokemon GO Sinnoh Event. Known as iconic legendary dragon-types since their debut in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, these two Pokemon will be introduced in their Origin Formes, which were first seen in Pokemon Legends Arceus on the Nintendo Switch.
The Sinnoh region-focused event is set to kick off in February 2024, providing trainers with the opportunity to celebrate the dragons of Time and Space within the augmented reality game. Dialga and Palkia have been regularly featured in challenging 5-star raids, and Niantic is capitalizing on the Sinnoh theme to enhance the gaming experience.
As outlined in the official Pokemon GO blog, the Origin Formes of Dialga and Palkia will be accessible through 5-star raids during the Pokemon GO Sinnoh Tour event. The event will commence in Los Angeles on February 16 and 17, followed by a global event on February 24 and 25, 2024. Ticket holders for either event stand a chance to encounter Origin Forme Dialga or Palkia, each equipped with a new Charged Attack based on the chosen path – Roar of Time for Dialga (Diamond path) and Spacial Rend for Palkia (Pearl path).
