‘Mega Gengar’ dates and times in Pokémon Go explained
Mega Gengar is a special Timed Research questline running during the 2020 Halloween event and rewards you with Mega Gengar Candy.
You’ll only have access to NAME if you managed to complete the previous Timed Research questline, Mega Buddy Challenge.
The Mega Gengar quest is only available during the Halloween event which is running between Friday, 23rd October to Tuesday, 3rd November and has the following ending times:
- UK – 2am (GMT)
- Europe – 3am (CET)
- East Coast US – 9pm (EST)
- West Coast US – 6pm (PST)
The Mega Gengar quest consists of three quest steps, with rewards for every challenge and overall step. This questline is shorter than most research quests, because it’s a Timed Research quest and, once the Halloween event ends, you’ll never be able to access it again.
The purpose of this quest is to introduce Mega Gengar by rewarding you with a good amount of Mega Gengar Candy, which is used to conduct this Mega Evolution.
April 2022 introduces the Silent Schemes event, which requires learning new Leader counters and Giovanni counters. Elsewhere, we’ve recently seen new Ditto disguises as part of the Season of Alola, which also introduced An Akala Adventure and more Gen 7 Pokémon including Fomantis and Tapu Lele. Elsewhere, off the back of the Go Tour Johto event is Masterwork Research Apex to complete.
