Niantic and The Pokémon Company has just announced that Gen 4 will make its way into Pokémon GO soon, sparking a frenzy of excitement in all fans. For the uninitiated, that's the collection of monsters from the Sinnoh region that first made an appearance in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl.
We don't know exactly when the new Pokémon will make it into the game, but that doesn't mean you can't start preparing right now. In fact, many Pokémon that you already have gathering dust in your collection will get brand spanking new evolutions when the new generation finally arrives.
In this guide, we're going to list all of the Pokémon that you'll be able to evolve when the time comes. We'll also recommend which types of candies to save so you can make a start right now.

@jswhitfield8 Fixed! Thanks for the heads up
Joke's on Niantic: I've been stocking up candy for cross-gen evos since day one.
I have so much more time and energy without PoGO on my brain. More power to those that enjoy it, I suppose.
Unless you're a madman with too much time and candy most of these Pokemon weren't even worth powering up so there wasn't actually a place to use up the candies.
That's a lot. We have a good deal of candies for half of those but obviously not the right stones for those that need them. Need to start catching some of those.
well Nosepass are easy since they seem to be every where
those egg hatches only and regionals will be touch
I just got a Porygon 2 after catching my wild one almost 2 years ago
Awesome list, I've been saving for a while now... I've been excited about Weavile since Sneasel was first released. GREAT physical attacker in the mainline.
@KingBowser86 Meh, since taking up PoGo I lost about 7st (98lbs)along with a change in diet & have a lot more energy. It all depends on the individual.
You forgot that Roselia needs a shiny stone to evolve into Roserade.
I hate to be that guy but did you make a guide with best guesses for evolutions? The candy counts are speculation. Saying what items will be needed to evolve while other item based evolutions don't require the item in Go, seems off. Sorry to be that guy
You're just guessing. Why not wait until we actually know?
@DanteSolablood Nice! I plateaued, and had to work out harder. I do like that PoGO inspires physical activity.
I started doing this MONTHS ago. I am Ret-2-Go.
@Heavyarms55 because they need to get on the bandwagon for clicks as early as possible. Why not add all this information to the post the day before that had pictures of all of Gen 4 (which was also incorrect, as not every Pokémon will be released right away. No info on regionals, legendaries will be held back, certain Pokémon may be held back for special events like Ditto and Delibird were, they may even stagger releases like Gen 3, etc)
I should hope when all the correct information is discovered, this post is updated, but I know it will be in a new post, probably split across multiple posts. You know, for the clicks.
@Baker1000 Actually, Nintendo Life have been updating articles instead of creating new ones, you can see that in the Raid Boss list. Unfortunately, this is leading to worse issues where old information is being left in despite is being incorrect... for example Mewtwo now being included in the Tier 5 raids, but still at 49,000 CP.
