The original forms for Palkia and Dialga in Pokémon GO have been revealed. They appear on the Sinnoh tour and bring with them very special attacks that trigger bonuses.
What kind of Pokémon are these? The original forms of Palkia and Dialga were released with the game “Legends: Arceus”. These are variants of the two well-known legendary Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. After their appearance was leaked a few months ago, they are now officially confirmed.
When do Ur-Palkia and Ur-Dialga appear? There are two dates for the two monsters.
They will first be released at the Sinnoh Tour Los Angeles in Raids, running February 17th and 18th, 2024. But you need a ticket for this event to have a chance at the shiny versions and the new special attacks. If you don’t have a ticket, you can take part in the raids, but you have no chance of getting shiny or special attacks.
Globally they come a week later, on February 24th and 25th on the worldwide Sinnoh tour. Here you can also find them in raids in different time windows and can then also get the special attacks and the shinys.
But what exactly are the special attacks about?

New feature: “Adventure effect” when using the special attacks in Pokémon GO
This is the adventure effect: Primal Palkia and Primal Dialga each have their own special attack:
What’s special: Both attacks can also be used outside of battles to trigger a bonus each.
Time Noise Adventure Effect: You can activate the effect on Primordial Dialga for 5,000 Stardust and five Dialga Candies. If you do this, the timer of four items will stop for six minutes: Smoke, Daily Adventure Smoke, Lucky Eggs and Star Pieces.
This effect can stack if you use more stardust and candies. Up to 24 hours are possible. But of course: you have to keep in mind that this will be a lot of stardust and candies.
Space Strike Adventure Effect: You can trigger Ur-Palkia’s adventure effect for 5,000 stardust and five Palkia candies. If you do this, your encounter radius with Pokémon will be increased for ten minutes. This effect can also be extended for more candies and stardust.
Apart from that, you can of course also use the attacks in fights.
The effect of the two attacks is particularly interesting, as Pokémon GO introduces a completely new feature. What do you think? Is the bonus useful or too expensive considering stardust and candies?
