How to Upgrade Rayquaza to Mega Form with a Meteorite in Pokemon Go

Choose Rayquaza and equip it with a Meteorite in order to teach it the Charged Move Dragon Ascent.
Supply it with 400 Rayquaza Mega Energy.
Press the Mega Evolve button.

It’s important to keep in mind that defeating several Mega Rayquaza Raids is necessary to obtain 400 Mega Energy. Once this is achieved, setting Rayquaza as your Buddy will grant you 100 free Mega Energy for every 20km walked.

In addition, after Mega Evolving Rayquaza, it will remain in that form for a duration of eight hours. Therefore, it is important to strategically utilize this powerful attacker. Its STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) moves make it a dominant choice against Bug, Dragon, Grass, and Fighting-type Raid Bosses in Pokemon Go.

With an impressive Attack stat of 377, Mega Rayquaza is able to deal significant neutral damage. It is a highly effective attacker against most opponents, with the exception of Steel-type species which have a resistance to its moves. When battling Fairy types, it is recommended to use Dragon Ascent or Hurricane instead of Outrage or Breaking Swipe.

In addition to Mega Rayquaza, there are several other powerful Dragon types available to catch in Pokemon Go, such as Salamence, Zygarde, Garchomp, and Dragonite.
