Players will have the chance to even run into a Darukmaka or a Flareon in their wild encounters, but both of these Pokémon are being considered rare, so players will have a harder time encountering them.
All of these Pokémon, aside from Flareon and Fennekin, might be found in their shiny form if players are really lucky.
Many other Pokémon can be found by players through various other methods like research tasks, hatching eggs and various types of raids. Dedicated players should keep up their drive to find new Pokémon if they're looking to fill up their Pokédex.
Pokémon GO's Lunar New Year event will last from Jan. 19, to Jan. 23 and will be available as soon as players open the app on their device .
