As the name suggests, Gen 4 Pokémon are from the franchise’s fourth generation of games – Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum – and feature many evolutions of creatures from previous generations, as well as some new baby Pokémon and, as always, brand new Legendary creatures.
After months of teases and hints, Gen 4 has finally arrived – and like Gen 3, they will arrive in waves.

Which Gen 4 Pokémon are in the game so far
Like Gen 3, Pokémon Go’s Gen 4 is rolling out in stages. Here’s what’s currently available in the game so far.
July 2020 rollout (1 total)
Wash Rotom appeared as a Snapshot Photobomb as part of Go Fest 2020:
October 2019 rollout (1 total)
Darkrai appeared in five-star raids, despite being a Mythical Pokémon:
May 2019 rollout (16 total)
April 2019 rollout (3 total)
The end of April saw the arrival of Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, who buck the trend as the first Legendaries to appear in the game as wild spawns. They are exceedingly rare, but the good news is in May, they are in Legendary Raids in different regions.
Meanwhile, it appeared that Shellos was also released at the same time, but then rolled back – so though some people have it, it’s probably best to not be considered an official release.
February 2019 rollout (17 total)
A new wave of Sinnoh Stone evolutions, one baby and several wild Gen 4 encounters arrived in early February:
March 2019 Raid rollout (1 total)
The removal of Palkia from raids saw the addition of Dialga to Tier 5 encounters.

So far, not all Pokémon from previous generations that have Gen 4 evolutions cannot be evolved just yet – see our page on the Sinnoh Stone for more on that!
Wondering what’s missing? There’s a complete list (with images and Types) of the 135 Pokémon from the Hoenn region in the main games, including their evolution methods, towards the end of the article.
There’s also plenty of other things to know about Gen 4 too…
What you need to know about Pokémon from Gen 4
Gen 4 follows some of the same traits as previous generations. There are three Grass, Fire and Water starters – all with two evolutions each – and the standard array of common birds and bugs alongside a fleet of powerful Legendaries.
There are, however, a number of interesting statistics that set it apart from previous generations:
- Whereas Gen 3 was comprised of mostly original creatures, Gen 4 features a large amount of evolutions from previous generations – a staggering 22 in total
- There are six Baby Pokémon, which all evolve into Pokémon from previous generations
- There’s the welcome return of two new Eevee evolutions, the first new evolutions since Gen 2
- Many Pokémon have a variety of forms – from Wormadam and its many cloaks, Shellos changing appearance based on where it was caught in the main games, and Rotum, which changes appearance based on possessing electrical appliances
- There are nine Legendaries, and five Mythical Pokémon – both more than any previous generation to date
Here is a useful at-a-glance look at Gen 4, courtesy of MordredSinReino on reddit:
April 2022 introduces the Silent Schemes event, which requires learning new Leader counters and Giovanni counters. Elsewhere, we’ve recently seen new Ditto disguises as part of the Season of Alola, which also introduced An Akala Adventure and more Gen 7 Pokémon including Fomantis and Tapu Lele. Elsewhere, off the back of the Go Tour Johto event is Masterwork Research Apex to complete.
Pokémon Go Gen 4 Pokémon list
As with the first three generations, most evolutions should require Candy, though we suspect new Special Items matching those used in the main game, or even other mechanics – such as Trading – for others might be required. We’ll know for sure when they release.
