How to get Meteorites & Mega Evolve Rayquaza in Pokemon Go

With the return of Mega Rayquaza to Pokemon Go in a Special Raid event, players are curious about the item Meteorite and how it can be used to get this powerful Dragon/Flying-type Mega Evolution.

So, without further ado, here’s all you need to know about Meteorites and their role in getting Mega Rayquaza.

What are Meteorites & how to get them in Pokemon Go

A Meteorite is an item used to Mega Evolve Rayquaza by teaching it the Charged Move Dragon Ascent.

It is limited to certain events and you can get a Meteorite by completing the free Timed Research during the Mega Rayquaza Special Raid event on August 3, 2024. So, don’t forget to complete the quest to get the elusive item in Pokemon Go.

How to Mega Evolve Rayquaza with Meteorite in Pokemon Go

1. Select Rayquaza and give it a Meteorite to teach it the Charged Move Dragon Ascent.
2. Feed it 400 Rayquaza Mega Energy.
3. Tap the Mega Evolve button.

Remember that you’ll need to defeat multiple Mega Rayquaza Raids to get 400 Mega Energy. Once you do, you can make Rayquaza your Buddy to get 100 free Mega Energy for every 20km walked.

Also, once you Mega Evolve Rayquaza, it will remain in that state for eight hours. As such, use this OP attacker wisely. With its STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves, it is a top counter to Bug, Dragon, Grass, and Fighting-type Raid Bosses in Pokemon Go.

Its staggering 377 Attack stat also helps it dish out massive neutral damage. This makes it a great attacker to use against virtually any opponent except Steel-type species since they resist Mega Rayquaza’s moves. When facing Fairy types, use Dragon Ascent or Hurricane instead of Outrage or Breaking Swipe.

Aside from Mega Rayquaza, you can also catch other strong Dragon types in Pokemon Go, including Salamence, Zygarde, Garchomp, and Dragonite.
