How To Get & Mega Evolve Rayquaza
Rayquaza will only be obtainable throughfive-star raids inPokemon GO.Rayquaza is a very powerful Pokemon, so it is best to plan out the attack with it. Ways to do this is joining with other trainers and bringing a very powerful or legendary Pokemon that Rayquaza will be a good suit to go up against. However, even with a good Pokemon to encounterRayquara, it is best to keep four other trainers in the raiding party as well.
Rayquara is a Dragon/Flying-type. This Gen 3 Legendary doesn’t evolve quite like other Mega-Evolving Pokemon. Rayquaza won’t be able to Mega Evolve with just Mega Energy by itself. Trainers will need toteach their Rayquaza the Charged Attack Dragon Ascentbefore it will be able to evolve into its Mega evolution.
Does Rayquaza Have A Shiny?
Shiny Pokemon are a bit harder to catch than normal ones, but Rayquaza does have a Shiny that trainers can attempt to get. The Shiny is a beautiful gray and yellow color, as opposed to the original green and orange shades. It will be able to evolve into Mega Rayquaza just like any other Pokemon in those Shiny colors.
For a chance to catch a Rayquaza, be sure to get onPokemon GOonSunday, August 27,during the event raid hours.Players might also want to get their tickets upgraded so that they can get some extra rewards and benefits. The ticket can be purchased from the in-game store in thePokemon GOmobile app. Also, remember to get a group together to take on the Rayquaza raids for the best outcome.
