Pokemon devs accidentally leaked some major spoilers for the Pokemon Go Tour Sinnoh event, and now fans are excited to see highly-requested Legendaries in the game.

Niantic, the company in charge of the development and Live Services of Pokemon Go has slipped some juicy reveals for the new Season Timeless Travels. One that has to do with the new Raid Legendaries coming back with Pokemon Go Tour Sinnoh.

It would appear that Pokemon Go devs leaked the Origin Forme Legendaries: Palkia and Dialga way ahead of schedule.

This was posted on the Pokemon Community subthread ‘TheSilphRoad’ and brought to our attention by another Reddit user.

Published originally by user ‘8BitCR’ the leak which revealed Palkia and Dialga Origin Formes in the background has cached fire and was already shared several hundreds of times.

The OP explained: “As the Sinnoh tour website went live they added and then later removed this image of Origin forme Dialga and Palkia.”

One of the comments in the post further confirms the slip-up made by Niantic: “OP said Niantic removed the image of Origin Form Palkia and Dialga. I went back to the Sinnoh Tour website and only saw their regular form.” And another one added: “Was real, can confirm. Unless Mandela effect is real.”

Curiously, this is not the first time that Pokemon Go devs made an accidental reveal, then backtracked, only to end up revealing it all at the last minute due to the pressure of the fans sharing the news.

And in case this happens again and Niantic officially announces the Origin Formes of Dialga and Palkia for the Pokemon Go Tour Sinnoh Global and Live events, we will let you know.
