Steps of the ‘Lucky Wishes’ mission in Pokémon Go
Lucky Wishes is a timed research quest that will take place during the 2023 Lunar New Year event in Pokémon Go, which will be available until Monday, January 23 at 8 pm (local time). So if you want to earn the bonuses and rewards from this mission, make sure to complete it before this date.
Lucky Wishes is also a branching research quest, which means that depending on the path you take through the quest, some of the special rewards and bonuses you get from the quest will be different from other players.
There are three paths you can take through the Lucky Wishes quests, and each gives you an additional bonus until the Lunar New Year 2023 event ends: one is related to the duration of the Daily Adventure Incense, another to collecting Stardust and finally with the hatching of Eggs.
Below you will find all the steps of the Lucky Wishes quest and the rewards for all three branches. Just beware of spoilers!

Everything you need to know about the 2023 Lunar New Year event in Pokémon Go
There are a selection of bonuses throughout the Lunar New Year 2023 event in Pokémon until it ends on Monday, January 23 at 8 pm (local time).
Darumaka.
The first is that there is a higher chance of receiving lucky Pokémon in trades, including a higher chance of becoming someone’s lucky friends, throughout the event. Each player also receives an additional special trade each day, meaning that during the Lunar New Year 2023 event, you can make two special trades per day.
Outside of trading, opening gifts will give you double Stardust and there is a higher chance of encountering the shiny Darumaka.
Don’t forget about the bonuses you can receive from the Lucky Wishes timed research mission either! Depending on your choice, completing this quest can give you a bonus related to hatching eggs, collecting Stardust, or the duration of Daily Adventure Incense for the rest of the event.
