So you can get 2 sinnoh stones from a single battle

Was just doing PvP for me and my girlfriend, she got none from the 3 battles with me, but then got 2 from her battle with Candela.

We both were shocked. No idea that getting two from a single battle was possible.

Happens sometimes. One time for me.

A few days ago I beat Spark's Master team, and got 1000 dust instead of the usual 500. I suspect that there's a small chance you get 2 rewards. Has anyone gotten dust and a Sinnoh stone? Otherwise, it's just twice the usual reward.

I read somewhere rewards for PvP battles depend on the health (HP) level and number of surviving pokemon you have remaining. Something about 2 remaining with +2/3 of their HP left.

I'm pretty sure it's all RNG, and I haven't seen anything that provides enough evidence to say otherwise. I've seen people's teams get absolutely obliterated in PvP, and they get better rewards than the winner does. On the flip side, I've seen people sweep an entire opposing team with a single Mon, only to get the lowest amount of dust as the reward.

While I'm not always the biggest fan of RNG, I can understand why Niantic didn't want winners getting better rewards. Having equal probability keeps casual players incentivized to battle even if their opponent has many more optimized Mons. It also prevents multi-accounters from battling their alts and having said alts throw the matches in order to reap better rewards for their mains.

This morning training with Blanche Master league I got a stone plus 500 stardust.*** I used 2650 shiny Ho-Oh, whatever these Snover things turns into w/ outrage, and a newly caught level 25 Heatran...predictably I barely won.
