Mega Gengar is a special Timed Research questline running during the 2020 Halloween event and rewards you with Mega Gengar Candy.

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:

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.

The Season of Go has arrived! The Pokémon TCG Crossover event is here, which includes the release of Wimpod and Golisopod. While Go Fest 2022 may be behind us, there are still three special research quests you might be working on - Pokémon Go Fest 2022, Rhi's Arrival and A Radiant World. Meanwhile, the Great League and Great League and Great League Remix are currently running in the Go Battle League Season 11. This season has also seen the lowering of the level requirement for Candy XL and introduced the first Ultra Beast, Nihilego.
