Pokemon GO Adds Helpful New Raid Feature

Pokemon go players aren't happy about mega rayquaza change, pokemon go announces new partnership with mcdonald's.

Pokemon GO 's Lunar New Year 2023 event will take place from Thursday, January 19 at 10am local time until Monday, January 23 at 8pm local time. During this timeframe, players can work on an event-exclusive batch of Timed Research, which is called Lucky Wishes and features a branching path. For those fans that are trying to determine which of these paths they should take, full details on Pokemon GO 's Lucky Wishes Timed Research can be found in this guide.

To begin, it is important to establish that the tasks and rewards that make up the Lucky Wishes Timed Research are nearly identical across all three of its paths. The path that a player chooses does determine which bonus they receive for the duration of PoGO 's Lunar New Year 2023 event , though, and indeed they are quite different from one another. Fans are thus advised to primarily focus on the event's bonuses when deciding on their preferred path, and those have been detailed below Step 1 in the following list.

RELATED: Pokemon GO: How to Catch Kecleon

  • Catch 5 Pokemon (15x Poke Ball)
  • Spin 3 PokeStops or Gyms (10x Great Ball)
  • Power up Pokemon 5 Times (2x Silver Pinap Berry)

Step 1 Completion Rewards: 500 Stardust, 500 XP, 1x Lucky Egg

Pick a Path

  • Hatching Eggs (Half Egg Hatch Distance)
  • Using Daily Adventure Incense (Double Daily Adventure Incense Duration)
  • Collecting Stardust (Double Catch Stardust)

Step 2 (Hatching Eggs)

  • Catch 10 Pokemon (Bunnelby Encounter)
  • Catch 25 Pokemon (Magikarp Encounter)
  • Catch 8 Different Species of Pokemon (Combusken Encounter)
  • Hatch 3 Eggs (Galarian Darumaka Encounter)
  • Send 25 Gifts to Friends (Azumarill Encounter)

Step 2 (Hatching Eggs) Completion Rewards: Darumaka Encounter, 1x Egg Incubator

Step 2 (Using Daily Adventure Incense)

  • Use Daily Adventure Incense to Help Catch 15 Pokemon (Galarian Darumaka Encounter)

Step 2 (Using Daily Adventure Incense) Completion Rewards: Darumaka Encounter, 10x Golden Razz Berry, 25x Ultra Ball

Step 2 (Collecting Stardust)

  • Earn 7,500 Stardust (Galarian Darumaka Encounter)

Step 2 (Collecting Stardust) Completion Rewards: Darumaka Encounter, 1x Star Piece

Of the bonuses that can be activated through the Lucky Wishes Timed Research, the one that grants double catch Stardust is perhaps the most-obvious choice. That said, there are certainly reasons to go with the Hatching Eggs path (the Level 50 Challenge) and the Using Adventure Incense Path (the Galarian Legendary Birds ), and players should consider their options carefully upon completing Step 1.

With respect to the tasks, the vast majority of them are very simple to complete. In fact, the only task that has any real chance of giving players trouble is the one that centers around sending Gifts, as not everyone will have friends that also play the game. Fortunately, there are places online, such as the PokemonGOFriends Subreddit, for players that are in that situation to find others with whom they can exchange Gifts in Pokemon GO .

Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.

Which Pokemon GO Lucky Wishes Timed Research Path Is Best?

pokemon go lucky wishes timed research paths tasks and rewards darumaka

Of course, whichever path you take for this Lunar New Year event entirely depends on your preference in the way you way. Do you prioritise farming Stardust, catching more Pokemon quickly, or hatching Eggs?

Nevertheless, the factually best Pokemon GO Lucky Wishes Timed Research path is the Hatching Eggs Path . 

The Hatching Eggs Path is best because not only has the Pokemon GO site confirmed that Lunar New Year event made rarer Pokemon available to hatch in 7KM Eggs; Chingling, Riolu, Darumaka, Galarian Darumaka, and Scraggy; but speedily hatching more Eggs with the 0.5 x distance bonus with also net you with more Stardust anyway. 

So, the Hatching Eggs Path will serve you double the bonuses of two paths in one.

All Lunar New Year 2023 Research Tasks in Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go Lunar New Year 2023: Lucky Wishes Timed Research

Pokémon go lunar new year 2023: field research tasks.

The 2023 celebrations for Lunar New Year have begun in Pokémon Go , which means a whole host of special spawns and bonuses has been unleashed upon the mobile game’s world. You can find out more about the details in our Pokémon Go Lunar New Year 2023 overview article.

The event also contains a bunch of quests you can complete to collect some rewards with both Field Research Tasks and a Timed Research being available. The latter includes different paths that provide you with a bonus for the duration of the event based on your choice.

Here’s everything you need to know about Pokémon Go Lunar New Year 2023’s research tasks .

This Timed Research called Lucky Wishes is available from January 19, 2023, at 10am local time to January 23, 2023, at 8pm local time. It consists of two steps and you can choose from three different paths with differing quests and rewards after the first step.

Lucky Wishes – Step 1

  • Catch 5 Pokémon : Pokéball x15
  • Spin 3 PokéStops or Gyms : Great Ball x10
  • Power up Pokémon 5 times : Silver Pinap Berry x2
  • Rewards for completing every task : Stardust x500, XP x500, Lucky Egg x1

Lucky Wishes – Choose a Research Path

  • (Yellow) Hatching Eggs : 1/2 Egg Hatch Distance for the remainder of the event
  • (Red) Daily Adventure Incense : Double Daily Adventure Incense duration for the remainder of the event
  • (Blue) Catching Pokémon : Double Stardust for catching Pokémon for the remainder of the event

Lucky Wishes – Step 2

  • Catch 10 Pokémon : Bunnelby(s)
  • Catch 25 Pokémon : Magikarp(s)
  • Catch 8 different species of Pokémon : Combusken
  • Send 25 Gifts to friends : Azumarill
  • (Yellow) Hatch 3 Eggs : Galarian Darumaka(s)
  • (Red) Use Daily Adventure Incense to catch 15 Pokémon : Galarian Darumaka(s)
  • (Blue) Earn 7,500 Stardust : Galarian Darumaka(s)
  • Rewards for completing every task : Darumaka(s), Ultra Ball x25 (Yellow) Egg Incubator x1, (Red) Golden Razz Berry x10, (Blue) Star Piece x1

Pokémon marked with (s) have a chance of appearing in their rare Shiny version.

Which of these bonuses should you choose? If you’re working on a bunch of 12km or 10km Eggs at the moment, opting for the 1/2 Egg Hatch Distance is not a bad call. Most of the time, though, Double Stardust for catching Pokémon is the best of these choices. You need this resource for a lot of things in Pokémon Go, such as powering up Pokémon or paying for trades – you can never have enough Stardust.

You can get the event exclusive Field Research Tasks by spinning PokéStops during Lunar New Year 2023’s runtime.

  • Open 3 Gifts : Charmander(s), Cyndaquil(s), Torchic(s), Chimchar(s), Tepig(s), Fennekin, Litten
  • Catch 25 Pokémon : Darumaka(s), Galarian Darumaka(s)
