Pokémon GO Mega Rayquaza Raids: Weaknesses, Counters & Shiny Details
Mega Rayquaza is returning to Raid Battles in on August 3, 2024. Described as a for the community, you don't want to miss out on this opportunity. This time around, it will be more accessible to players that have Gyms in their area, as this will not be using an Elite Gym Raid Boss format. This means that you will just need to find around four to five other people with a high level to help you take down Mega Rayquaza a local Gym.
The Mega Rayquaza Special Raid event will take place across three different hours in. Starting at 11 AM, moving to 1 PM in the afternoon, and finally, at 6 PM local time. These Raids will pop up in all local Pokémon Gyms. Trainers will have one hour to complete as many Raids as they like, as long as they have enough Raid Passes to join in.
Rising to the top of the Fantasy Cup in Pokémon GO is going to require Trainers to compose the best team, including stars like Azumarill and Lucario.
Rayquaza in and beyond always has the same dual typing: Dragon/Flying-type. This carries over to its Mega Evolved Form, which you will be facing during these Raid Battles. This typing leaves it weak to Dragon, Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type moves.
In fact, Mega Rayquaza is actually 4x weaker to Ice-type attacks, making them the ideal moves to use during this battle. Therefore, some of the best Ice-type Pokémon are needed for this fight.
