How to get a timed Mega Gengar search
Unlike other timed searches in Pokémon GO, Mega Gengar tasks must be unlocked by completing another round of timed searches. It was the Mega Buddy Challenge which was offered in September. If you've completed that, Mega Gengar research should already appear for you. If not, you'll need to contact Niantic Support to find out what went wrong. Unfortunately, this research expired a while ago, so there is no way now to get Mega Gengar tasks if you haven't done so before. So if you've opened up the game and wondering how to get the Mega Gengar timed research task, you've probably already missed it, unfortunately.
Mega Gengar Timed Research Stages and Rewards
For those who have completed the Mega Buddy Challenge, the new Timed Research should have appeared already. If so, you have an idea of what to expect here. The first set of tasks is quite difficult and the road ahead will be difficult. But there is plenty of Mega Gengar energy waiting for you along the way, so follow along (although we'll update as new tasks are revealed)…
