Evolution items in Pokémon GO aren't anything new – we've had items like Metal Coat and Dragon Scale for ages – but the recent introduction of the Sinnoh Stone has caused quite a stir, mainly because this exclusive item is the only way to evolve several different 'mon into more powerful forms.
How To Get Sinnoh Stones In Pokémon GO
Given that it's such a valuable item, it's understandable that getting hold of Sinnoh Stones isn't easy. Unlike other evolution items, which can be obtained from spinning Poké Stops and gifts received from other players, there are only two known ways of getting them in Pokémon GO:
- When collecting your seventh day Field Research reward
- Participating in PvP Trainer Battles
Even then, you're not guaranteed to get a stone from either of these events. The drop rate isn't fantastic when taking part in battles; if you play against the computer then you only gain rewards (Stardust and a 1-in-7 chance of getting a Sinnoh Stone - thanks Eurogamer) once per day. Playing against people on your friend list gives you three chances at earning a stone per day (again, it's a 1-in-7 chance).

As far as can tell, you can only get these from battle reward now. The last 7 day rewards I have gotten have not given me any for several weeks now.
For the record though, Rhyperior is an excellent Gym defender.
Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 4065 1155 0858!
You also can develop a Piloswine into Mamoswine with a Sinnoh Stone.
And you can also evolve Tangela to Tangrowth with a Sinnoh Stone.
