One of the biggest “hidden” inclusions for Pokémon Go Tour: Sinnoh is the introduction of Rotom in its base form after nearly four years of waiting for it to appear. The catch? You have to enter a special code to catch the mischievous ghost in the first place.
Every Pokémon Go player will have access to a new set of Ghost in the Machine Timed Research, regardless of whether you’re present at Go Tour: Sinnoh – Los Angeles. This is a global set of research themed around Rotom and its tendency to jump inside various appliances. And the only way to get it this time is to enter a code hidden by Niantic—which sounds more secretive than it is.
Pokémon Go Ghost in the Machine Rotom Timed Research: Full secret code and how to enter it
Much like with Go Tour: Hoenn 2023’s A Coded Quest Timed Research themed around the Regis, the secret code for the Ghost in the Machine research was dumped online almost as soon as some Go Tour: Sinnoh content started going live.
The code is 0HY0UF0UNDM3 and you need to enter it to start the Ghost in the Machine Timed Research quest. To do so, you must follow these steps on your mobile device:
- Visit the official Pokémon Go website’s redemption page.
- Ensure your account is linked to the game.
- Enter your code and wait for confirmation that the proper items have been added to the game.
You have to use this method currently as it appears Niantic has removed the option to redeem codes directly through the game on Android devices. Apple users have always had to use this method.

Once you claim the code, you will unlock the Ghost in the Machine Timed Research quest. It is only a single page but has a decently long task to complete before you can catch Rotom.
