The Lunar New Year event takes place from Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. local time to Monday, Feb. 7, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
Players will have their first chance to catch a Shiny Litleo for the next week during the Lunar New Year celebration.
Those who took part in the Spotlight Hour will have more of a chance to catch Litleo during it. Despite this, players can have an increased chance throughout the week to catch the newest Shiny introduced to the game.
That's not the only way to catch Litleo. The Shiny Pokémon will be included as a reward for completing a certain task during the event.
Not only that, but players can take part in the event bonuses, listed below:
1. Increased chance for Lucky Pokémon in trades
2. Increased chance to become Lucky Friends
3. Double Stardust from opening Gifts
4. 1 extra special trade per day*
