'Mega Battle Challenge' dates and times in Pokémon Go explained

The Mega Battle Challenge is a special timed research questline running during the Mega Battle event, which is itself part of the celebrations for the release of Mega Evolutions.

'Mega Battle Challenge' is only available between Friday, 11th September to Thursday, 17th September, beginning at 8am (local time) and ending at 10pm (local time).

It's important to note that this timed research is completely separate from the 'A Mega Discovery' special research, which will always be available to players.

The Mega Battle Challenge is constructed out of four quest steps, with each task and overall step giving you a variety of rewards once you've completed them. The short length of this research quest is due to it being a timed research questline - if you don't complete this quest before its deadline, you'll never be able to earn all of the rewards!
