Trainers participating in events like the current Lunar New Year event is the way to get as many Shiny Pokemon in Pokémon GO. Pokemon GO constantly has events to help players further their engagement with the game and get as many items and Pokemon as they want.

You have the option to choose between three different Research paths, which reward you with either halved Hatching distance, double duration of Daily Adventure Incense, or double catch Stardust. Regardless of which path you choose, you'll also receive an encounter with Darumaka as a reward.

You have a time limit to complete these tasks, but they will expire if you don't complete or collect the rewards before the Lunar New Year event ends. This differs from other tasks, like the Field and Special Research tasks, as they tend to remain accessible long after the event's conclusion.
