The Dual Destiny Season is here! It brings the Holiday Part 2 event with it. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

Everything you need to know about the Lunar New Year Dragons Unleashed event in Pokémon Go

The Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleashed is running until Sunday 11th February at 8pm (local time) and, while it's live, there's four bonuses for you to enjoy. Two of these bonuses are all about being lucky - seeing an increased chance to become Lucky Friends or earning Lucky Pokémon from trades.

The other two grant everyone the chance to earn extra candy from making Nice, Great and Excellent Throws, while players who are Level 31 or above will also have an increased chance of earning Candy XL from such throws.

The highlight of this event, however, is the release of Drampa! This Normal and Dragon-type Pokémon hails from Gen 7 and, if you want to add it to your Pokédex, make sure you check out our how to get Drampa guide where we cover the counters and weaknesses for Drampa.

The following Pokémon will also be appearing more frequently in the wild throughout Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleased:

• Magikarp
• Dratini
• Shuckle
• Fennekin
• Skrelp
• Noibat
• Jangmo-o

You can also battle these Pokémon in raids:

The Global Challenge for the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleased has been completed and, with this, comes a range of new features running throughout the event. The first sees two Pokémon being added to raids - Jangmo-o in one-star raids and Salamence in three-star raids.

The seconds sees the following Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild:

• Bargon
• Gible
• Darumaka
• Axew
• Deino

Third and finally, the following five Pokémon can all obtain an exclusive move if you obtain them via evolution:

• Garchomp - Earth Power (Ground-type Charged Attack) by evolving Gabite
• Noivern - Boomburst (Normal-type Charged Attack) by evolving Noibat
• Salamence - Outrage (Dragon-type Charged Attack) by evolving Shelgon

Finally, there's a pay-to-play timed research quest available throughout the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleased event. It costs £1.99, $2 or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency. You can not purchase it using PokéCoins and the quest is nonrefundable, but you can gift it to another player if you're Great Friends or higher. If you do purchase the quest, then keep in mind that you must complete it and collect the rewards before 8pm (local time) on Sunday 11th February.

Hope you enjoy the Lunar New Year: Dragons Unleased event!
