It’s extreme RNG. I tried countless PvP battles and training, and only got 1 Sinnoh Stone. I’m pretty sure I’m one of the lucky ones.
Don’t worry though, the best way to maximise your chances is to fight 3 PvPs and train once every day.

Don’t cry for me, but also a concern/note...doing a battle/train on 2nd account right after a raid and it being a freebie acct it didn’t have bag space available...said bag full can’t accept reward. Assume Sinnoh Stone went into the ether.

I received 2 stones on the first day of PvP, one from training then one from my first battle, I thought, here we go, then nothing since.

I fought couple of times and also got only one Sinnoh Stone... it's a bummer. Better luck next time.

Same...2 accounts in the house have none from 3 days, but they will arrive eventually

My 2nd account got 2 the first day, then missed a stone bc bag full. Big account got 1 the first day. I would say there is reasonable justification for getting antsy, they might lessen the stone rewards to "once a week" (on average). They have a tendency to get buzz, then proceed to put a wet blanket on it

i dont get why people are so riled up about sinnoh stones, ok fine, you didnt get them from PvP today, big deal, you still have 4 shots tomorrow and the next day, and the next day...and the next and so on. You're acting like we only have a week to get all the stones we can before they go away forever.

It sucks to be shafted by RNG. Each subsequent bad die roll feels that much worse. You’re right in that it would be extremely unlikely for anyone to have a shortage of Sinnoh Stones by the end of January if they play every day, but it’s just unfun to constantly lose out for reasons you can’t control.

...because people want everything just handed to them. This is the age of getting a trophy for simply participating.

If they just hand them out easily, then it kind of defeats the purpose of them existing in the first place...and removes any joy in seeing one awarded when you do get it - turning it into a joyless grind

Did 3 PvP battles with a friend, she's very good. Lost all three, but got two Sinnoh stones.

So far, I have gotten three, all from PvP losses vs other trainers. It's all about randomness, and inevitably, someone here will have bad luck and complain.

If we believe the numbers that the Sinnoh stone is about a 20% chance, and one can battle 4 times a day (3 players, 1 trainer) for rewards, one has about a 60% chance of getting 1 or more stones on any given day. Going three days in a row without one isn't unheard of, just a 6.8% chance. So from 100 people, 7 of them (on average) will get no Sinnoh stones for three days running.

And we know Mr-ex777 is way more exceptional than 7 in 100 people, ....

Of course, if the actual chance is lower than 20%, these numbers all change.

In a related note, why isn’t it a feature of these boards to mute people?

I’ve done 4 days of battling with no stone. Niantic just really doesn’t like making rewards predictable, or anything predictable really. It gets on my nerves to no end.

Five now. I get it, it’s just RNG, but this game is so pathologically addicted to making everything random. Now to wait another 24 hours and probably get disappointed again.

I got a stone each of my first 6 battles. None since. Maybe it’s like other things where they start off common and then get nerfed?

2 Stones for 12 battles so far

Seriously I don’t get the hysteria over Sinnoh Stones at all... In a few months we will be dumping them as fast as we get them .... frankly more of the evolutions suck and none of them are Meta relevant as of now.... chill the f out

Agreed. In a month Niantic will either reduce the rate to 5% or change to add other items. Because people will soon be throwing these away. I got 2 today, which was nice. They are my 3rd and 4th. After those I’m no longer in a big need. If I get about 1 a week from here I’d be ok.
