Pokémon GO: 7 Sinnoh Pokémon We Can’t Wait To Catch

Gotta catch 'em all!

A lot has changed since the whole world was swept away in a wave of Pokémon hysteria. That summer of 2016 saw many fall back in love with the game that consumed their childhood, but slowly users drifted away like the hardened, cynical adults we’ve become.

Since then, Niantic and Nintendo have been working hard to implement new features the fans are craving. Raid battles, rare Pokémon, plus weekly quests to find a legendary creature - filling your Pokédex has never been more fun. There’s even been more in-depth research quests to catch mythicals like Mew and Celebi.

But to seasoned PoGoers, that’s old news. What we’re more excited about is the brand new update. Whether influence on Pokémon will change, and if there'll be an HP balance for tanks like Blissey. Parks will see more diverse spawns, and biggest of all, generation four is finally coming.

With new legendaries, Eeveelutions, meta-breakers and some iconic characters, let's take a look at the seven Sinnoh newbies you won't want to miss.

No starters though. We're not playing favourites.

7. Giratina

Lord of the Pokémon Underworld. You’d think the Pokémon devil might be a little higher up the list, but there’s a few reasons why it’s our starting point.

For one, there was a flash of those devilish eyes in the trailer. This suggests that once MewTwo’s stint is over, Giratina will be the next legendary raid. While that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t all get excited about it, it does mean anyone with a decent sized raiding group will have one soon.

Second, the design. While Gen 3 took a bit of heat for lack of imagination, Gen 4 was a return to form. However, Giratina looks less like the devil and more like a maggot that’s crawled through some rusted staples. Maybe that explains why this beast is so angry all the time.

Finally, this guy is just hella scary. We know it’s Halloween soon and all, but this thing is too fearsome to carry around in your back pocket. Do you really think the devil won’t take revenge on you for cramming it into a tiny plastic ball all day?
