So, Mega Rayquaza was more than simply a raid; it was the centerpiece of an event aimed at challenging even the most experienced trainers.

Trainers began scheming and creating teams early on for this uncommon opportunity to catch Mega Rayquaza in Elite Raids. Elite Raids, famed for their difficulty, required in-person participation, creating an element of exclusivity among trainers.

Rayquaza wasn’t easy to capture. However, only one trainer stood out, showcasing their triumph on Reddit with a screenshot of their newly captured Rayquaza. The dragon soared with a Combat Power (CP) of 2191, perfect stats, and an undeniable aura of excellence. “Caught on 13-08-2025 around England, United Kingdom.” the caption read. And thePokémon GOcommunity erupted in reaction.

His feat has garnered him a lot of respect because it symbolizes his prowess and dedication to the game. Unlike other Mega-Evolving Pokémon, Rayquaza requires the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent. And that is learnable only throughMeteorites earned in the event’s timed research tasks.
