Pokémon Go Rayquaza counters, weaknesses and moveset explained

Rayquaza’s return to raiding in Pokémon Go is invariably one of the most exciting reasons to pick up the phone and head out.

The Pokémon Sky High is one of the fan-favorite Dragon-type Pokémon. Not only does it have extremely good stats, but it looks amazing and has a Mega Evolution that will be coming to Pokémon Go at some point in the future, a Mega Evolution that once broke competitive play in the main series games. Rayquaza, if you didn’t know, is a big deal.

Like the legendary Pokémon it shares the Hoenn region with, including Groudon and Kyogre, Rayquaza will be available in five-star raids, so if you want to defeat this powerful dragon, you’ll need to build a team of trainers.

Cons and weaknesses of Rayquaza in Pokémon Go

Beating Rayquaza in a raid will give you a chance to catch this super powerful Pokémon. Below you will find Rayquaza’s counterattacks and weaknesses that will help you achieve this:

  • Rayquaza Type – Dragon and Flying
  • Rayquaza is weak against Dragon, Fairy, Ice (2x), and Rock types.
  • Rayquaza Mega Counters: Since Rayquaza is doubly weak to Ice-type moves, we’re looking to go all out with this type. This means Mega Glalie and Mega Abomasnow. This will also buff the other Ice types your raid partners bring, helping you bring Mega Dragons only if you don’t have a mega Ice type, as your Dragon is naturally weak to Rayquaza.
  • Rayquaza Counters: Galarian Darmanitan, Mamoswine, Glaceon, Weavile, Jynx, Mewtwo (with Ice Beam), Avalugg (or Hisuian Avalugg), and Kyurem.
  • Other Rayquaza Notes: Rayquaza is doubly weak to Ice-type attacks, so bring in Ice-type Pokémon that can max out STAB and deal very high damage quickly.

Rayquaza is an extremely good Pokémon and you should prioritize getting one with good stats.

Everything we know about Rayquaza

Rayquaza’s shiny form was released in July 2019 and is available when Rayquaza is in raids. Remember, you always catch a shiny legendary Pokémon with your first ball after a raid, so don’t waste your Golden Razz Berries! Instead, throw in a pineapple berry for free and easy candy!

Rayquaza is a legendary Pokémon native to the Hoenn region. He is part of the elemental trio, along with Groudon and Kyogre.

The members of this legendary trio are each guardians of a different elemental sphere. Groudon is the guardian of the lithosphere (land), Kyogre watches over the hydrosphere (the world’s seas), and Rayquaza protects the atmosphere.

When Groudon and Kyogre clash, which they inevitably do, Rayquaza descends from the sky to stop their fight and help them return to their dream.

When you see Groudon or Kyogre appear in Pokémon Go, you know that Rayquaza is not far behind.

Good luck catching Rayquza!
