Pokemon GO’s Lunar New Year 2023 event is now underway, and players that spin PokeStops before January 23 at 8pm local time have a chance to obtain some event-exclusive Field Research tasks. Each of these tasks award Pokemon encounters upon completion, though some fans may want more information about these rewards before they put their efforts toward pursuing them. Providing that information is the precise purpose of this guide, and players can find full details onPokemon GO’s Lunar New Year 2023 Field Research below.

While these tasks may seem a bit random upon first glance, they actually do synergize quite nicely with some of the bonuses that are active as part of the Lunar New Year 2023 event. For example, there are bonuses that focus around trading Pokemon, one of which increases the chances ofPoGO’s Lucky Pokemonappearing in trades. This gives players some additional incentive to pursue the “trade a Pokemon” task, which is perhaps the most difficult one to complete.
There is also a bonus that makes openingGifts inPokemon GOmore rewarding. Specifically, players will earn double Stardust from opening Gifts during the Lunar New Year event, making the gift-focused tasks more appealing than they are when such a bonus is not in effect.
To note, before players start pursuing the Field Research tasks that center around Gifts, they may want to confirm that they have reached Step 2 inPoGO’s Lucky Wishes Timed Research. For the uninitiated, Lucky Wishes is a batch of Timed Research that is exclusive to the Lunar New Year event, and indeed the second step features a task that instructs fans to send 25 Gifts. While it is certainly not requisite that players work on that Timed Research task alongside the related Field Research tasks, fans that value efficiency may want to do so.
One final thing to mention is that all the Pokemon that can be encountered by completing these Field Research tasks have a chance to be Shiny. There is also an increased chance of encountering a Shiny Galarian Darumaka for the duration ofPokemon GO’s Lunar New Year event, which may encourage players to hold onto the “catch 25 Pokemon” task.
