Happy New Year’s! Now get ready to complete a new Collection Challenge and some event-exclusive Field Research to celebrate the start of 2023 in Pokémon Go.

The New Year’s 2023 event is fairly small overall, only featuring a few new Pokémon, and they are just costumed versions of Pikachu and Noctowl. Running until Jan. 4, you can encounter Pikachu, Hoothoot, Wurmple, and several other Pokémon with special hats—this even includes all of the Kanto starters with party hats. 

Just like the encounter table, both the event-exclusive Field Research and the Collection Challenge for the event are easy to complete if you know what you are looking for. The Collection Challenge specifically is easy to clear since all of the Pokémon involved are the special New Years Hat costumed Pokémon.
