It is officially the new year, with Pokémon Go ushering in its second big event of 2023 to help celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Running from Jan. 19 to 23, players will see a number of familiar faces appearing more frequently, with plenty of event bonuses and Shiny Pokémon to chase after. That includes boosted chances at encountering a Shiny Darumaka throughout the enter Lunar New Year 2023 event, too.
You won’t be running into any new Pokémon this time, but Darumaka, Buneary, Fennekin, Bunnelby, and even Flareon will be appearing in the wild—some of which fit the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit theme. Meanwhile, Blaziken, Diggersby, Regice, and Mega Lopunny headline the raid rotation this time.

In addition to those encounters, players will also have new Timed Research to complete during the event that will give different rewards depending on which choices they make. It isn’t anything super detailed, but the extra items and special encounters are nice. So here is how you can complete all of the Lunar New Year 2023 research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go.
