In Pokémon GO, a particularly exciting Pokémon is about to be released: Mega Rayquaza will soon appear in the game. We summarize all information.
This is Mega Rayquaza: Since the introduction of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO, Trainers have been eagerly awaiting the appearance of Mega Rayquaza. Namely, the Mega Evolution of the legendary Dragon Pokémon has the potential to become one of the most powerful monsters in the game.
Recently there have already been some indications that Mega Rayquaza will appear soon. Now it’s official: The new version of the monster will be released for the GO Fest.
When will Mega Rayquaza appear? There are four dates Mega Rayquaza will appear this summer.
For those attending the three live events, Rayquaza will appear in the host cities. Mega energy and the development item “Meteorite” are only available if you have also purchased a ticket for the respective GO Fest on site.
If you don’t have a ticket for these events, the global GO Fest is the moment to get Mega Rayquaza.
How Mega Rayquaza works in Pokémon GO
How to Evolve Mega Rayquaza: In order to trigger Rayquaza’s Mega Evolution, you’ll need to teach him the Charged Attack Zenith Striker, which is based on the main games.
But that’s not easy, you need a new development item: A “meteorite”. You get that in turn by completing field research tasks at GO Fest 2023.
Here’s what makes Mega Rayquaza so powerful: Rayquaza itself is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. With the mega development, however, its stats are increased again and it does significantly more damage.
But that’s not all: similar to Primal Groudon and Kyogre, Mega Rayquaza distributes powerful bonuses in raid battles. In general, your opponents deal more damage when Mega Rayquaza is in play. In addition, attacks of the following types are boosted again:
That should make some of the best raid attackers even more dangerous when you think of Mewtwo or powerful Dragon Pokémon, for example. You will also get additional Candies, XL Candies and XP for catching monsters of these types while having Mega Rayquaza active.
But there is still some time until the release. The Rocket takeover is currently underway with the possibility of teaching your Cryptos new attacks. You can find out which Pokémon you should unlearn frustration with here.
