Mega Rayquaza returns to Pokémon Go!
Ozone Ascent sees Mega Rayquaza return to Pokémon Go. Also known as the best Pokémon in the game, Mega Rayquaza is a Pokémon you definitely want to have on your side when a powerful Pokémon turns up in a raid. Usually you have to defeat it in a Mega Raid to earn the Mega Rayquaza Energy required for this Mega Evolution, but Ozone Ascent is doing things a little differently. Instead, there are two research quests — one free, one pay-to-play — with both offering a Rayquaza encounter, Mega Rayquaza Energy and that all important Meteorite for learning Dragon Ascent.
Event End Time: Sunday 26th July at 8pm (local time)
