Spotlight hour
This year is the year of the tiger, but maybe because I can’t find the tiger’s own Pokemon (Is it about Raikou?), Shishiko / Pyroar is the signboard. The different colors are the opposite meaning, and the series is slightly lighter in color. It is the same even if it evolves into pyroar.
In the wild rare, one of the tiger-patterned Pokemon, Electabuzz, appears, but I am not particularly grateful that it was normal at the “Hatsudensho” event that ended in place of the Chinese New Year, and it is not unusual from usual.
The bonus is the Pokemon exchange system that is customary for Lunar New Year events.In Asia, which celebrates the Lunar New Year, I think that the purpose is to exchange Pokemon at the timing when family relatives gather on vacation, but it was carried out in 2021.There is no “Expand exchange distance to 40km” bonus。
Pokemon GO Lunar New Year event started.Overseas limited Kentaros, first appearance Mega Gyarados (2021)
There are situations in which people are being called to refrain from returning home in areas celebrating the Lunar New Year, and it would be nice if they could expand, but please be careful when going out or meeting people, not just for Pokemon exchange.
