Get ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2025 in Pokemon GO, as Niantic has announced an exciting event running from January 29 to February 2. This event is packed with opportunities to encounter a variety of Pokemon, including Shiny versions of Ekans, Onix, and Snivy, which will appear more frequently in the wild. In addition to wild encounters, you'll have the chance to hatch Makuhita, Nosepass, Meditite, Duskull, and Skorupi from 2 km Eggs, adding to the excitement of the event.
During the Lunar New Year event, you'll enjoy several bonuses, including an increased chance to get Lucky Pokemon through trades and a higher likelihood of becoming Lucky Friends, which further boosts your odds of obtaining Lucky Pokemon. Whether you're exploring the wild or hatching eggs, this event offers ample opportunities to enhance your Pokemon collection.
Engage in Lunar New Year-themed Field Research tasks and earn rewards like Stardust, XP, and encounters with event-themed Pokemon. Additionally, participating in Routes during the event will allow you to collect Zygarde Cells, adding an extra layer of excitement to your journey. For those looking to maximize their rewards, a Paid Timed Research option is available for $2, offering two Lucky Eggs, an incubator, and encounters with Ekans and Nosepass. Make sure to claim all your rewards before the event ends on February 2 at 8:00 p.m. local time.
Showcase your Lunar New Year Pokemon in PokeStop Showcases for a chance to earn more rewards, including item bundles based on your performance. Niantic has also introduced an event-themed Collection Challenge, where completing the challenge will grant you additional Stardust for trading, making this event particularly beneficial for frequent traders.
As Pokemon GO celebrates its ninth anniversary in 2025, this Lunar New Year event is just one of many exciting updates and events leading up to the summer and Pokemon GO Fest. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Pokemon GO Tour: Unova, which will take place in Los Angeles and New Taipei City from February 21 to 23, followed by a global event in March. The Lunar New Year event offers a perfect opportunity to expand your Pokemon collection before diving into the Unova festivities.
