It looks like more Pokemon from Gen 4 are soon to be added to Pokemon Go. Bonsly, Croagunk, Tangrowth, and Yanmega are the next Pokemon from the Sinnoh region to be added.
Generation 4 Release
The 4th generation of Pokemon started to appear in Pokemon Go from October 2018. Similar to previous generations, gen 4 Pokemon are being released in stages.
For instance, the first batch of generation 4 Pokemon released 26 variants. These included the Sinnoh region’s starting Pokemon, Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup. These were also part of the December Community Day.
