Trainers may already be booking travel plans for the upcoming 2020 live PoGO events around the world, but there’s a Lunar New Year event to work through first. The event brings some new and different creatures to the Pokemon GO 7km Egg pool, so many players are currently deciding whether this batch is worth burning through some incubators for.

In general, the Lunar New Year Pokemon in 7km Eggs do not include any particularly exciting metagame options. There are some Pokemon with shiny versions and a few that may be a new Pokedex entry for some players, but in general these Pokemon aren’t going to be particularly worth spending any extra incubators on for metagame purposes.

So far, the following Pokemon have been confirmed for the event 7km Egg pool…

Vulpix

Magikarp

Wurmple

Shuckle

Magby

Foongus

Darumaka

Riolu

Riolu and Darumaka are likely the most exciting inclusions for many players, but the chance to pick up another shiny Magikarp is always exciting. Wurmple and Shuckle seem like the worst options here, despite the fact that they both have a change to be shiny. That may be enough motivation for some players, but in general those are pretty unpopular options.

Although the Egg pool isn’t very exciting, that doesn’t mean the whole event is a bust. There are other bonuses available that make playing this week a bit more enticing.

For now, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!

Be sure to trade more often with your friends—the likelihood of becoming Lucky Friends will be increased.

When you trade a Pokémon, there will be an increased chance it will become a Lucky Pokémon.

Pokemon GO is available now in select regions on Android and iOS devices.
