Pokemon GO Lunar New Year 2022 Timed Research Tasks and Rewards

Pokemon GO is celebrating the Lunar New Year 2022 with a special event that includes new Timed Research with its own tasks and rewards.

Set to take place over the next week or so, the Lunar New Year 2022 is themed around the Year of the Tiger, so Niantic has picked Litleo as the main Pokemon for the event.

This includes Litleo’s shiny form being added to the game as well, which was not available prior.

When Is The Lunar New Year 2022 Event

February 1 begins the Lunar New Year this year and Pokemon GO is starting the celebrations right on time with their own Lunar New Year 2022 event this week.

The Lunar Near Year 2022 event in Pokemon GO begins on Tuesday, February 1, at 10:00 am local time and will run through Monday, February 7, at 8:00 pm local time.

Besides the Timed Research, this event includes an increased chance for Lucky Pokemon in trades, an increased chance to become Lucky Friends, double Stardust for opening Gifts, and 1 extra special trade per day. In fact, the last perk will be active a bit longer from January 31 at 1:00 pm PST to Friday 8 at 1:00 pm PST.

Pokemon GO Lunar New Year 2022 Timed Research and Rewards

Rather than have one Timed Research that is made up of multiple steps, the Lunar New Years 2022 event in Pokemon GO features two separate Timed Research instead.

Each one of the two Timed Research is very short though, as they are only one step with four tasks to complete within each. Thanks to Serebii, we have the full list of tasks you will need to complete for both of them.

Friendship Challenge

• Send 5 Gifts and add a sticker to each – Torchic encounter
• Trade 3 Pokemon with a friend – Corphish encounter
• Send 15 Gifts to friends – Darumaka encounter
• Send Gifts 3 days in a row – Unknown encounter
• Rewards – Unknown encounter, 1,000 XP, 1,000 Stardust

Catch Challenge

• Catch 10 Pokemon – 10x Poke Balls
• Catch 25 Pokemon – 15x Great Balls
• Catch 25 Fire type Pokemon – 20x Ultra Balls
• Catch 10 different species of Pokemon – Litleo encounter
• Rewards – Espurr encounter, 1,000 XP, 1,000 Stardust

That is all for the Lunar New Year 2022 Timed Research in Pokemon GO. Make sure to get both of them complete by next Monday and be ready for what Pokemon GO has ready for us next with the upcoming Pokemon GO Tour Johto.
