All Lucky Wishes Timed Research Rewards – Pokemon GO

Lucky Wishes for the Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year event has begun in Pokemon GO, and unlike the last event, we have some Time Research that even has a branching quest this time around. Along with all the themed wild spawns, this is the perfect time to stock up on Pokemon like Darumaka and Fennekin.

Of course, the Timed Research is filled with rewards as well. Most of the challenges are fairly easy to tackle and there are only two full steps that each Trainer needs to complete to get every reward. With only four days to get this done, there is no time to waste in getting the Lucky Wishes challenges done in Pokemon GO.
