POKÉMON GO: 2020 Lunar New Year Event Causes A Shift In Eggs and Raids - Here's What To Expect

Trainers began receiving the bonuses from this year's Lunar New Year Event in Niantic's Pokémon Go over the weekend with some minor bugs. Now that things are properly running, here is what you can expect!

Niantic rolled out the 2020 Lunar New Year event on Friday and although it initially was met with some trouble as certain fans weren't receiving some bonuses, it seems to be in proper working shape now. The event continues until Friday, February 3rd, and during this time Trainers will notice a large uptick in the number of red-colored creatures appearing in the game.

A shake-up regarding which creatures are hatching from eggs reflects the Lunar event, and also which Pokémon are in which Tier Raids. With a little help from Pokémon Go Hub, we've compiled a list of the 7km eggs which have been effected by the current event as well as a breakdown by tier of the raid make-up.

You can see the list of current 7km egg hatches with marks for those that can be hatched in their shiny form. Almost all of the hatchable creatures are red Pokémon, such as Vulpix, Magikarp, Wurmple, etc. Check out the helpful image below courtesy of Pokémon Go Hub!

In addition, Raid Battles have also been effected by the current 2020 Lunar New Year event in Pokémon Go. It is important to note that among the Tier 5 Bosses Latios and Latias are listed, but they won't last for the entire event, they were only included for a weekend event.

Both Dwebble and Venipede are recent additions to the game and easy to beat Tier 1 Bosses right now, so trainers will want to grab them to gather enough candy for their respective evolutions.

Check out the full list of Raid Bosses currently available with another set of images below thanks to Pokémon Go Hub!
