The hype is real as Mega Rayquaza makes its grand entrance at Pokemon Go Fest 2023!

Trainers, here is a comprehensive guide first shared by Dexerto to help you secure this amazing Dragon-type Pokemon

Exclusive Go Fest Access

The wait is finally over as Mega Rayquaza swoops into Pokemon Go during Go Fest 2023.

The event takes place across three iconic cities: London, New York, and Osaka. In-person attendees get the chance to challenge Mega Rayquaza in raids during specified hours.

But here is the catch - only ticket-holding trainers for Go Fest will gain access to the coveted Mega Energy for Rayquaza.

Do not worry if you are not on-site, though; the global event on August 27 lets everyone take a shot at capturing Mega Rayquaza.

Unleash Rayquaza's Mega Evolution

To evolve your Rayquaza into its Mega form, mastering the signature move Dragon Ascent is key.

As Dexerto notes, this move is reminiscent of its evolution process in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games. It is a step-by-step journey toward unlocking Mega Rayquaza's full potential.

Rayquaza that knows Dragon Ascent will then be able to Mega Evolve when given Mega Energy.

Unlock the Power of Meteorites

Hold onto your seats, trainers! Introducing the Meteorite - a Go Fest-exclusive item designed to teach Rayquaza the coveted Dragon Ascent move.

Meteorites are up for grabs for those attending Go Fest in London, New York, and Osaka. Completing a Special Research Task during the Global event also gets you this treasure.

Cannot make it to the festivities? The Global event on August 27 promises a Special Research Story that culminates in you earning a Meteorite.

Mega Rayquaza's Unique Bonuses

As you should expect, Mega Rayquaza brings an array of bonuses that will leave you craving more Mega Evolutions.

Each Mega Evolution increases its Mega Level, leading to enhanced power. During battle, the dragon bestows amplified damage on your team's attacks, especially if they're of the Flying, Dragon, or Psychic variety.

The XP, Candy, and Candy XL rewards for catching specific types of Pokemon make this Mega Evolution even more alluring.

Mark Your Calendar

The clock is ticking, and the excitement is palpable. Pokemon Go Fest 2023 kicked off on August 4, with London and Osaka setting the stage from August 4-6.

New York will take the baton and run its event from August 18-20. The grand finale, the Pokemon Go Fest 2023 Global, is set for August 27.
