For a limited time, Rayquaza volition be making its return to Pokémon Go in the class of a raid weekend. Rather than take up an entire week every bit the exclusive five-star Pokémon, Rayquaza volition be sharing the spotlight with Therian Forme Thundurus during the first Weather Week outcome. Rayquaza appears every so oft in five-star events. It rotates out a chip more other legendary Pokémon. If you want some other shot at tackling Rayquaza and potentially calculation a shiny one to your collection, you'll be able to do that in the exclusive raid weekend from March 27 at ten AM to March 28 at 8 PM in your local time zone. It's a bit more than 24 hours, giving you and your friends plenty of time to several raids to catch this exclusive Pokémon.

Because Rayquaza will exist sharing the 5-star spotlight with Therian Forme Thundurus, if you encounter a Pokémon gym turning into a v-star raid, at that place's a fifty-l chance it could exist i of these Pokémon. It won't always be Rayquaza, and it won't always be Thundurus. Y'all might demand to coordinate with your friends to find it. Considering it's a limited upshot over the weekend, it should exist a bit easier than locating the Pokémon during the week.

If you tin can capture Rayquaza during the Conditions Week event over the raid weekend, it will know the exclusive charged motility hurricane. You'll need to beat out it at a v-star raid to grab information technology. Nosotros've previously talked about the best moveset for Rayquaza we recommend using on it, and if it's a skillful choice or non.

We've talked about Rayquaza several times. While it has decent stats every bit a legendary Pokémon, its moveset is extremely lacking. It doesn't have a solid, fast motility and even worse charged moves. If you lot plan to utilize Rayquaza, you lot probably want to stick to using it in other raids. Unfortunately, it doesn't match upward against the other Pokémon you'd use in the Ultra or Master Leagues.
