How to complete Lucky Wishes Timed Research in Pokémon Go

The Lunar New Year 2023 event in Pokémon Go has begun, giving players the opportunity to seek out their favorite red-colored Pokémon appearing in the wild. These include an increased chance to find a shiny Darumaka in the wild, Magikarp, Flareon, Slugma, Numel, Combee, Buneary, Fennekin, Bunnelby, Ponyta, and Magmar. While you’re catching these Pokémon, all players get the Lucky Wishes Timed Research quest. Here’s what you need to know about how to complete the Lucky Wishes Timed Research in Pokémon Go.

All Lucky Wishes tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

All players will go through the same first task in the Lucky Wishes Timed Research. However, there is going to be a choice you need to make after completing this, and it will determine the reward you will earn. The reward is not linked with the activities you need to complete, so regardless of which you pick, the activities and rewards for those tasks will not differ. It’s only going to change the final rewards.
