All increased spawns, encounters, and event raids for Pokémon Go’s Lunar New Year event

With the simple theme of red and relevant Pokémon, Pokémon Go’s Lunar New Year event offers players a way to celebrate the holiday while also adding some new content. 

From Feb. 9 to 14, players can send Gifts, trade Pokémon, and complete Special Research to get rewards throughout the event. 

Just like with the other special events, players will be able to catch a ton of shiny Pokémon including Miltank, Tauros, and Gyarados. Mega Gyarados has also been added to the game and can be captured by defeating it in Mega Raids.
