In Pokémon GO the event around the Lunar New Year is currently running. We will show you which bonuses are really worth it and which monsters you should catch.
How long does the Lunar New Year still last? Until February 14, the Lunar New Year in Pokémon GO is celebrated. You can benefit from red Pokémon, increased lucky trades, and other bonuses.
There is a lot to discover in the event. So you don’t miss any strong bonuses, we will list the highlights for you here.
3 Highlights of the Lunar New Year
Make use of the spawns: During the Lunar New Year, red Pokémon appear everywhere, and there are some monsters that are truly worth it. These include, for example:
- Krabby
- Goldini
- Miltank
- Gyarados
- Zirpurze
They are all extremely rare outside of events and can also appear as Shiny. So it’s worth hunting these monsters and maybe catching a rare Shiny or two.
Trade your Pokémon: The trading radius is currently expanded to 40 kilometers. So you can trade with your friends without leaving your home.
This is really worth it, as the chances for lucky friends and lucky Pokémon are also increased. You should trade rare Pokémon there so that you might get lucky Pokémon with strong IVs.
Make use of the raids: Since the start of the event, Mega-Gyarados has been available in raids. This monster is one of the best water attackers in the game. Only Mega-Blastoise is better. So you should complete your limited research from the event and also do some raids of Mega-Gyarados. This way, you will have enough Mega Energy to mega-evolve the monster multiple times.
If you don’t like the Mega Pokémon, you can also participate in Level 5 raids. Currently, there are Latias and Latios, which can both be Shiny. So if you still need the Shinies here, make sure to take advantage of the event period.
What’s next? February is also full of events after the event around the Lunar New Year. We have listed all events for this month here. Maybe there is still something for you:
