To Mega Evolve Rayquaza in Pokemon Go, players need to teach it the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent. This can only be done with an item called Meteorite. Trainers were able to get Meteorites by completing Special Research tasks.

It is unclear if the Meteorite will be coming back alongside the Mega Rayquaza Elite Raids, but we will keep you informed in case this happens.
