It's the Chinese New Year, and this year Pokémon GO is celebrating the Year of the Ox.
The Lunar New Year takes place from February 9 to February 14.

Some notable bonuses
- Gifts will contain more PokéBalls
- You are more likely to become Lucky Friends
- Lucky Swaps are more likely to happen at random
- The Trading range will be 40 km from February 8 to February 15
Pokémon found in nature
Pokémon present in 5km eggs
Pokémon in Raids
In addition to the Pokémon present in Raids, Mega Leviator will also appear alongside Mega Roucarnage and Mega Pharamp until February 20.
If you are wondering why some Pokémon in the list are not "red", don't worry, you'll encounter plenty of Shiny Pokémon.
