The event has now finished.

Following Mega Finale, this event runs from 8 to 14 September and brings the debut of Maschiff, which hatches from Eggs and comes from Field Research and evolves into Mabosstiff. Flamigo can be shiny for the first time. Mega Beedrill (raids from 8 to 15 September) and Mega Houndoom (raids from 11 to 15 September) can now reach Super Max Level, so this is the time to collect their Mega Energy from raids and from catching Weedle, Pidgey, Houndour and Carvanha.
