Free Rayquaza & Mega! Get Yours Now
what's actually worth your time / candy
From July 25th to 26th, trainers can participate in the Ozone Ascent event, featuring free Timed Research. This research guarantees an encounter with Rayquaza, which can be shiny, and a free Meteorite. This is your chance to secure a powerful legendary for your collection.
The free Meteorite obtained from the Timed Research is crucial. It allows Rayquaza to learn Dragon Ascent, a move required for its Mega Evolution. While the free research does not include Mega Energy, an optional $5 ticket is available. This ticket provides Mega Energy, an additional Rayquaza encounter, and another Meteorite, accelerating your path to Mega Evolution.
As a Dragon/Flying type, Rayquaza is a strong attacker in the game, particularly notable for its Master League performance, ranking #95. Its high Attack stat makes it a formidable choice for both raids and PvP. Be aware of its unique double weakness.
Rayquaza has a severe double weakness to Ice-type attacks (2.56x damage). Top Ice counters include White Kyurem, Shadow Articuno, and Glaceon. It is also 1.6x weak to Rock, Dragon, and Fairy types. Consider mons like Shadow Rhyperior, Mega Diancie, Origin Palkia, and Mega Gardevoir for effective counter strategies.
For trainers seeking the ultimate Rayquaza, the perfect IV (hundo) from the Timed Research will have a Combat Power (CP) of 1643. Use Hundo Hunter to quickly verify your catches and ensure you don't miss out on a perfect legendary.
