Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh – all Research tasks
Update (Feb. 24, 2024): For the Go Tour 2024: Global Research tasks, which build on the tasks from Road to Sinnoh, check the link above.
Original (Feb. 19, 2024): The Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Sinnoh is coming up quickly, but before the grand event is opening its doors players can prepare themselves with the Road to Sinnoh event starting on February 19, 2024, at 10am local time. Users should take advantage of this event to gather useful resources ahead of the great hunt for Sinnoh's rarest beasties.
One free Special Research has already been available since February 15, 2024, for every player of the mobile game, allowing them to select the Diamond or Pearl version for the upcoming Go Tour event. With the proper start of the Road to Sinnoh event, some paid Research tasks as well as an attractive Raid Challenge have been made available for trainers.
Here are all Pokémon Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh Research tasks and rewards.
Diamond or Pearl? You once again have to make a choice.

Go Tour 2024: Road to Sinnoh – all free Special Research tasks
You’ll be able to complete this Special Research whenever you want once you’ve claimed it, so make sure you get access to it by logging in after February 15, 2024, at 10am local time. It’s a pretty short string of missions and some of its rewards can only be described as Niantic trolling players, but you’ll also get a Legendary Pokémon during Go Tour and lots of Mega Energy out of it.
Step 1 of 3
- Catch a Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region: Go Tour Sticker x10
- Complete all tasks in this step: XP x2,024, Stardust x2,024, Bidoof
Choose a Path
You can choose between Diamond and Pearl in this step. Both options provide different rewards during Go Tour 2024 as well as for the remainder of this Special Research, so make your selection with care.
Choose Diamond Version to obtain the following bonuses during the global portion of Go Tour 2024:
- Encounter Dialga (Origin Forme) with Roar of Time as a guaranteed move.
- Double duration for the Adventure Effect of Roar of Time.
- Obtain additional Dialga Candy.
Choose Pearl Version to obtain the following bonuses during the global portion of Go Tour 2024:
- Encounter Palkia (Origin Forme) with Spacial Rend as a guaranteed move.
- Double duration for the Adventure Effect of Spacial Rend.
- Obtain additional Palkia Candy.
Step 2 of 3
Diamond Version
- Feed your buddy: Larvitar Candy x10
- Feed your buddy: Tyranitar Mega Energy x100
- Complete all tasks in this step: Diamond Badge, Dialga Candy x3, Larvitar
Pearl Version
- Feed your buddy: Bagon Candy x10
- Feed your buddy: Salamence Mega Energy x100

Step 3 of 3
Diamond and Pearl Version
- Catch a Pokémon originally discovered in the Sinnoh region: Bidoof Candy x10
- Complete all tasks in this step: XP x2,024, Stardust x2,024, Bidoof
We can’t really advise you on whether to choose Diamond or Pearl here, since this totally depends on your personal preferences – when it comes down to the two Legendaries and perhaps which of the two mega evolutions you still need to conduct.
