Celebrate Mega Pokemon.

Week Three of the Mega September event has kicked off in Pokemon Go! As part of this week’s festivities, trainers can complete a new series of Timed Research tasks called “Mega Buddy Challenge,” which will actually have an impact on the game’s Halloween event in October.

Specifically, in a news post, Niantic, Pokemon Go’s developer, said players can complete these tasks to have “a chance to unlock an exclusive Timed Research during this year's Halloween Event that features Mega Gengar for the first time in Pokemon GO!”

There are four sets of three tasks to complete in the Mega Buddy Challenge Timed Research. They’ll be available to complete from September 22 at 8 a.m. local time until September 28 at 10 p.m. local time.

Here’s what these tasks ask you to do and the rewards you’ll receive for completing them!
