You'll need to choose between the Diamond or Pearl version of the Go Tour: Sinnoh Global event in Pokémon Go.

This choice will determine a number of factors for your gameplay experience during this Pokémon Go event, such as which Adventure Effect will be easier for you to obtain.

Below we take a look at the Diamond and Pearl version differences in Pokémon Go, along with which version will be best for you and how to choose between Diamond and Pearl.

Diamond and Pearl version differences during Go Tour Sinnoh in Pokémon Go

Although not as prominent as past Go Tour events, your decision between the Diamond and Pearl versions of Go Tour: Sinnoh Global will affect your experience of this Pokémon Go event.

By selecting the Diamond version, you will unlock:

Choosing the Pearl version unlocks:

  • Origin Forme Palkia caught from five-star raids Spacial Rend
  • Spacial Rend Adventure Effect lasts twice as long
  • Palkia Candy will be awarded from the Go Tour 2024: It's About Time and Space quest
  • Pearl badge

Thanks to rwaterbender on The Silph Road subreddit, we do know that it is possible to obtain an Origin Forme that know the Adventure Effect opposite to your version; if you picked the Diamond version, for example, you can catch san Origin Forme Palkia which knows Spacial Rend. The downside, however, is that the rate at which this Pokémon can be obtained appears to be 15%, so either one in six or one in eight.

This does mean, unless you're very lucky, you will have to battle and catch multiple versions of the opposite Origin Forme to your version to obtain the second Adventure Effect. That's a lot of raid passes and money if you haven't been stocking up.

Your version choice does, however, guarantee that the Origin Forme connected to it will have its Adventure Effect if you successfully catch it after a five-star raid - Pearl for Origin Forme Palkia and Diamond for Origin Forme Dialga. Like Pokémon Go states in-game when you choose between the versions, 'all Origin Forme Dialga / Palkia caught after raids will know the attack Roar of Time / Spacial Rend.'

How to choose between Diamond and Pearl in Pokémon Go

To choose between the Diamond and Pearl versions of the Go Tour: Sinnoh Global event in Pokémon Go you need to complete the first quest step for the Road to Sinnoh special research quest.

After doing so, you'll be prompted to select between either the Diamond or Pearl versions of the event. It's important to remember that you can not change your mind, so choose wisely.

We also recommend completing the Road to Sinnoh special research quest before Go Tour: Sinnoh Global begins in your region to ensure you can enjoy this event to its fullest as your choice between Diamond and Pearl does affect some aspects of it, which are outlined in the section above.

If you attended the Go Tour: Sinnoh Los Angeles event your version choice will carry over from that event. This means you can not change your decision from Diamond to Pearl or vice versa.


The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 2 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.


Diamond or Pearl: Which Go Tour Sinnoh version is best in Pokémon Go?

The answer to which is better - the Diamond or Pearl version of Go Tour: Sinnoh Global - is subjective to your personal preference when it comes to the Adventure Effects. (Sorry if this is an annoying answer, but it really is.)

This is due to how the version choice mainly alters the ease at which you can obtain one of the Adventure Effects, with the added bonus of extending its duration. So, if you choose the Diamond version, you'll easily obtain the Roar of Time Adventure Effect after catching an Origin Forme Dialga from a five-star raid, because this decision ensures every Origin Forme Dialga you catch from raids will know this attack. The same goes for Origin Forme Palkia if you choose the Pearl version.

Due to this, we recommend considering what you want to achieve during Go Tour: Sinnoh Global and whether you'll use the Adventure Effect outside of the event when making your choice between Diamond and Pearl.

If you want to focus on XP grinding or using the Daily Adventure Incense to search for the Galarian Legendary Bird forms, then Diamond is the version for. Pearl, however, will suit you better if you're focusing on catching as many Pokémon as possible for either the Go Battle League or filling in Pokédex entries. Rural players may also find Spacial Rend's spawn-increasing bonus especially helpful!

Personally, I went with the Diamond version because Roar of Time might help me finally catch one of those pesky Galarian Legendary Bird forms. Namely Galarian Articuno - really want a Galarian Articuno, love the design. I'll also admit that this decision was sped along by the fact that I chose Pokémon Diamond back when the Nintendo DS games were originally released.

Good luck choosing between Diamond and Pearl!
