Generation 4 of Pokemon Go is coming – meaning that Pokemon from the Sinnoh region (Pokemon Diamond and Pearl) will be appearing in the wild very soon.
This is great news for Pokemon Go trainers, as with the ability to now capture Celebi offered widely many top Pokemon Go players are nearing the end of the third generation of creatures. Gen 4 offers up 107 new Pokemon – which will be the second-largest amount of new creatures added to the hugely popular mobile game since its 2016 debut.
Gen 4 of Pokemon Go brings with it some real gems, all of which made their debut in the Sinnoh Region in the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl titles for Nintendo DS. Many of these new Pokemon are actually evolved versions of Pokemon that already existed in Pokemon Go – including new Eevee Evolutions, Baby Pokemon and new forms. On top of that there are nine legendary Pokemon and five mythical Pokemon – meaning there’s plenty of new fodder for Pokemon Go’s field research and special research missions and EX Raid battles over the coming year.
Alongside all these all-new additions, expect balance changes that’ll adjust our Pokemon Go Tier List and other shifts in response to the newcomers. The Pokemon Go Egg Hatching chart will surely change, for instance, as new potential gen 4 egg hatches are added and old hatches are finally phased out. Gen 4 doesn’t bring any new Pokemon types with it, but it does introduce new type combinations that’ll play into the type strengths and weaknesses chart for battle.
Pokemon Go Gen 4 release date: when will new Pokemon begin to appear?
Yes, it’s the news that Pokemon Go players around the world have been waiting for eagerly: generation 4 of Pokemon Go is now upon us, with developer Niantic teasing that gen 4 Pokemon would begin arriving in game “soon” on October 9, 2018 – and the tease was accompanied with a teaser video showcasing the tiniest glimpses of the starter Pokemon from the era – fire-type chimp-like Chimchar, grass-type turtle Turtwig and the brilliant penguin-inspired water-type Piplup. There’s also a glimpse at Giratina, an iconic legendary Pokemon from that generation and era of the main-line DS Games.
With this tease arriving in early October, the timing lines right up with the launch of Pokemon Go Gen 3 last year, when 3rd generation Pokemon began showing up after some teasing right around Halloween.
The adventure continues!

As for when exactly gen 4 will land? Well, we’d expect it by the end of October… but Niantic will announce more once they’re closer – much closer – to launch.
