UPDATE 28/1/20: Niantic has now confirmed to Eurogamer that Darumaka will be available in the wild and in 10km eggs after the current Lunar New Year event finishes.
ORIGINAL STORY 27/1/20: Pokémon Go’s Lunar New Year event launched last Friday, but so far has left some players feeling rather unlucky.
One of the event’s key features – a boosted chance of trades resulting in Lucky Pokémon – was apparently not activated over its first 24 hours.
Lucky Pokémon are those which, after trading, become considerably cheaper to power up and are likely to improve their stats. Pokémon Go’s recently-added Trade Evolution mechanic, as well as the arrival of top-tier Fighting-type Timburr, meant players had plenty to trade.
