Niantic is adding the missing Gen 4 evolutions to Pokémon Go

Niantic’s latest Pokémon Go event is called the Hatchathon, and adds 11 new Pocket Monsters to, well, your pocket.

The Hatchathon is adding some Pokémon that are from Generations one through three that have new evolutionary forms in Gen 4 into the 2Km egg pool.

The company’s press release mentions Ryhorn, Porygon and Magby specifically, but it most likely means that all if not most of the Pokémon with missing evolutions will be hatchable.

The press release’s wording seems to imply that only some of these pre-evolved forms will hatch from eggs, and so far in the game, just a few Pokémon have the ability to evolve to their final form.

The Pokémon who are missing evolutions are listed below with their Gen 4 evolution listed beside them. The monsters that have had their final form added to the game are bolded;

• Porygon – Porygon Z
• Swinub – Mamoswine
• Magnemite – Magnezone
• Budew – Roserade
• Misdrevus – Mismagius
• Murkrow – Honchkrow
• Sneasel – Weavile
• Likitung – Lickilicky
• Rhydon – Rhyperior
• Tangela – Tangrowth
• Elekid – Electivire
• Magby – Magmortar
• Togepi – Togekiss
• Yanma – Yanmega
• Eevee – Leafeon
• Eevee – Galceon
• Gligar – Gliscor
• Nosepass – Probopass
• Duskskull – Dusknoir
• Ralts – Gallade
• Snorunt – Froslass

All of the evolutions in the game need an item a Sinnoh Stone which is a combination of a small diamond and pearl (just like the names of the Gen 4 DS games). Obtaining the stone is the same as finding all of the other evolutionary items. Meaning that it drops randomly from PokéStops.

This won’t make it easy to get any of the new evolutions, but it does add another reason to get out and play, which is good.

The event lasts until November 27th at 4pm EST / 1pm PST.
