Special Challenges are a type of Special Stage. These stages usually appear at the same time of Competitive Stages, providing a chance to catch a Pokémon that will be useful in that Competitive stage. Once caught (or if already caught), the stage can drop Skill Boosters and Raise Max Levels.
As of the 3DS v1.5.7 and Mobile v1.12.3 updates (February 13, 2018), events are on rotation. Check the Current Events page for info on those events.
