Pokemon Go Mega Rayquaza Special Raid Timed Research Tasks and Rewards

The Timed Research challenge for Mega Rayquaza Raids will also feature a special makeup, providing XP, Poke Balls, and a Meteorite.

In July 2024, Niantic revealed their intentions to hold a replacement event for the Mega Rayquaza Raid that occurred in June. This decision was made following complaints from trainers who struggled to locate Elite Raids for the Legendary, which is considered one of the strongest Pokemon in the series.

The rescheduled makeup event is scheduled for August 3, 2024. In addition, Niantic has announced a Special Raid Timed Research challenge that will take place during the event. The Timed Research offers rewards such as XP, Stardust, and a unique Meteorite.

Therefore, let’s take a closer look at the contents of the special Timed Research.
