All Lunar New Year: Catch Challenge timed research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

Catch all of the wild Pokémon appearing for Lunar New Year.

The arrival of February means the return of the Lunar New Year for Pokémon Go. With it, you’ll be able to celebrate with your friends by spreading goodwill and cheer to one another. You’ll be receiving two timed research tasks to complete during this event. You have until February 7 to finish them both. One of them centers around friends and providing gifts to them, and the other is all about catching the many Pokémon appearing during the event. You’ll be able to do this one much quicker than the friendship challenge. In this guide, we cover all Lunar New Year: Catch Challenge timed research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go.
