Tips
Event hours run 10 AM–7 PM each day (local time). Bonuses marked "(full day)" apply from midnight to midnight in your local timezone.
The Global event is free — no ticket required for any Trainer.
Special Research does not expire — complete it at your own pace (Professor Willow investigation leading to Zeraora).
Branching Timed Research locks you into one path (Mega Mewtwo X or Y) — choose carefully.
Mewtwo caught from Super Mega Raids unlocks Mega Level 1 automatically (with luck, Mega Level 2 or 3).
Mewtwo caught from Super Mega Raids knows Counter on Saturday (Mega Mewtwo X) or Psystrike on Sunday (Mega Mewtwo Y) — attend both days if you want both moves.
