The 2020 Return Challenge Championship will begin on Wednesday, June 3 at 1:00 p.m. and will end the following Monday, June 8, at 1:00 p.m. (local time) with new Pokémon capable of hatching in the 7 km Eggs from the Galar region. Also, Tesselia's Pokémon (Generation V) will appear more frequently than usual.
