Getting ahold of a Sinnoh Stone is complicated. They aren’t sitting around on the map. Finding one requires work and intention; finding one by accident won’t happen anytime soon unless there is a colossal patch in Pokemon GO. But for those who want one, there is indeed a specific plan of attack.
Field Research Breakthroughs
No one can promise a way to get a Sinnoh Stone, it’s always going to involve some luck, but this strategy has the highest chance to find one. It’s also based on a regular schedule, so the task can be done consistently. Complete seven Field Research Tasks (each one must be done on a different day), and receive the stamps for a Research Breakthrough.

That reward has a moderate chance to reward a Sinnoh Stone. Even if gamers don’t get one on their first few tries, this is a fantastic way to get special Pokemon types, so it won’t be an entire waste of time. One reason Pokemon GO is one of the best mobile-only multiplayer games is due to rewards like this.
Win Trainer Battles
This is the “Hail Mary” of trying to get a Sinnoh Stone. If players reading this are thinking to themselves that they’ve had a bunch of trainer fights and yet not received a Sinnoh Stone, that’s not uncommon, they are rare, much rarer than getting it from the Field Research Breakthrough.
So why include it as a choice? Well, the Field Research Breakthrough can’t be done more than once per week while a gamer can potentially find multiple trainer battles every day. For dedicated trainers who don’t want to wait and hope to get lucky, this can provide a chance to get a Sinnoh Stone early.
Pokemon GO is available now on Android and iOS devices.
