In Pokémon GO, Kyogre and Groudon are returning to raids. This is well received, but many players are still demanding another Pokémon.
This Pokémon is in demand: In addition to Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is also part of the weather trio. This Pokémon has been significantly less available in raids than Kyogre and Groudon.
Therefore, many fans are now wondering why Rayquaza, especially the shiny form, has been withheld for so long. After all, the shiny forms of Groudon and Kyogre have been in the game for several months.
Players ask: Where is Shiny Rayquaza?
This problem exists with Rayquaza: The dragon Pokémon is regarded by many players as the best Pokémon in the game. Therefore, it is even more important to possess a strong specimen.
The problem is that it is hardly found in raids. Both Kyogre and Rayquaza, which belong to the same trio, have been available to battle over three times.
Why is Niantic withholding the Pokémon? Many players are now pondering this. It is suspected that shiny Rayquaza will create a huge hype that Niantic wants to leverage.
Rayquaza might only return in mid-summer and attract even more interest due to the good weather.
What do the players say about it? Trainers are demanding on Reddit the release of shiny Rayquaza. While Kyogre and Groudon are useful, they have been widely available in the game.
- dogecoin_pleasures: I bet it will be the Ultra Reward at the end of summer (It was the case last year with Mewtwo)
- Crabominibble: Players will go totally crazy for shiny Rayquaza, so Niantic will surely save it for a golden moment.
- citizen_kang2: For those who say they wait for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to print money, who says that wouldn’t happen with every reappearance? People will go crazy for shiny Rayquaza every time it returns. Hell, I would raid until I have a team of six shiny Rayquaza.
What do you think? When can we expect shiny Rayquaza?
