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 onPokemon 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 ofPoGO’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.
Step 2 (Hatching Eggs) Completion Rewards:Darumaka Encounter, 1x Egg Incubator
Step 2 (Using Daily Adventure Incense)
Step 2 (Using Daily Adventure Incense) Completion Rewards:Darumaka Encounter, 10x Golden Razz Berry, 25x Ultra Ball
Step 2 (Collecting Stardust)
Step 2 (Collecting Stardust) Completion Rewards:Darumaka Encounter, 1xStar 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 (theGalarian 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 exchangeGifts inPokemon GO.
