The 10th anniversary celebration in Pokemon GO runs from August 13, 8:00 to September 6, 23:59. During that window, a free Time Challenge will appear, and completing it leads to an encounter with a Mewtwo carrying Max IV and a Special Background.
That Mewtwo, once caught, has the third stage of Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Level, unlocked. Players who took part in the July 9 Times Square event and caught Mewtwo there will see different strength and rewards for the Time Challenge Mewtwo. Niantic also plans to make the Times Square background Mewtwo catchable again in the future.
