How do I get the Meteorite? For this, you must log into Pokémon GO on August 27, 2023, and participate on the second day of GO Fest. This will give you a special research that grants you a Meteorite.
If you purchase a ticket for the event, you will receive an extended special research that grants you an additional Meteorite. This allows you to Mega-evolve another Rayquaza if you have enough energy.
In addition, trainers reported from the local GO Fests that the Meteorite can rarely drop from Mega Raids featuring Mega-Rayquaza. This was reported by the content creator PokéDaxi (via Twitter). However, you should not rely on this as it apparently does not happen often.
Is Mega-Rayquaza strong? Yes, Mega-Rayquaza is one of the absolutely best attackers in Pokémon GO. Additionally, having an active Mega-Rayquaza grants you the following bonuses:
- Additional XP and candies for flying, psychic, and dragon Pokémon when you catch them
- Attack bonuses in raids for attacks of the same types
As a result, Mega-Rayquaza is a powerful boost for your Pokémon teams – not only because it can hit hard itself, but also because it can boost the rest of your teammates.
