How to get Mega Rayquaza in Pokémon GO?
How to get Mega Rayquaza: To get Mega Rayquaza, you need the Meteorite item. You can use it to teach Rayquaza the Zenith Striker attack, which is a prerequisite for the Pokémon’s Mega Evolution.
How do I get the meteorite? To do this, you must log into Pokémon GO on August 27, 2023 and attend the second day of GO Fest. So you get a special research that brings you a meteorite.
If you buy a ticket for the event, you will get an extended special research that will bring you an additional meteorite. This allows you to Mega Evolve another Rayquaza if you have enough energy.
In addition, Trainers from local GO Fests reported that the Meteorite can drop from Mega Raids featuring Mega Rayquaza on rare occasions. This was reported, for example, by the content creator PokéDaxi (via Twitter). Don’t rely on that though, as it doesn’t seem to happen very often.
Is Mega Rayquaza strong? Yes, Mega Rayquaza is one of the absolute best attackers in Pokémon GO. In addition, an active Mega Rayquaza brings you the following bonuses:
Accordingly, Mega Rayquaza is a powerful reinforcement for your Pokémon teams – not only because it can hit hard itself, but can also boost the rest of your teammates.
