Pokemon Go Gen 4 Sinnoh Evolutions and Candy Guide

Today's the day! As of October 16, Generation 4 Pokemon are now spawning in Pokemon Go! Now, you can't evolve your existing Pokemon quite yet, but trainers from across the globe have been reporting sightings of Sinnoh Pokemon! 

Generation 4 in the Pokemon main series games revealed a number of new evolutions for Pokemon in need of a little additional firepower to be viable. Some Pokemon also received Baby forms that make sense from certain perspectives. After all, if you were carrying a Snorlax around in an egg, wouldn’t you know before it hatched?

I mean seriously, imagine the size of that egg!


Here’s a helpful list of all the Gen 4 Pokemon that you should be saving candies for now. We'll break them down into how many total candies you'll need to evolve them, then let you know which Pokemon you should start searching for to attain that evolution, plus its max possible CP.

It is still currently unknown how Glaceon and Lefeaon, the two new Eeveelutions from Generation 4, will evolve. If the naming convention of previous Eeveelutions continues, there will be a name guaranteed to evolve an Eevee into one of the two based on the anime. 

Happy Gen 4 day, Trainers! We hope you find your favorite Sinnoh Pokemon at some point today. If you're still unaware of the latest changes to Pokemon Go, check out the patch notes right here!
