There are four ways players can obtain Sinnoh stone in the game. One of which is earning a Research Breakthrough reward by completing a Field Research task. A series of tasks is obtainable by spinning a Photodisc and completing them daily will grant numerous rewards. Additionally, players will also receive a stamp, and collecting seven of them will earn a Research Breakthrough reward. This reward contains items, one of which can be a Sinnoh stone.

Defeating the three Team GO Rocket leaders, Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff, can also grant players a Sinnoh stone. For this, they first need six Mysterious Components obtainable by defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts. After getting them, combining these parts will make a Rocket Radar.
