What are Elite Raids?

Elite Raids are a challenging variety of Raid Battle that appear from special Raid Eggs. Once the Raid Egg hatches, a Raid Boss will appear for 45 minutes—but take note that Elite Raid Bosses can only be battled in-person. Gather your friends and prepare for an epic confrontation!

Defeat Mega Rayquaza in an Elite Raid and you’ll earn an opportunity to catch it.

Remember, Trainers will not be able to participate in Elite Raids using Remote Raid Passes.

Elite Raid: Mega Rayquaza

Event-exclusive Timed Research

Free Timed Research will be available to Trainers during the event! Complete the research tasks to earn a Meteorite.

Unlike other Mega-Evolving Pokémon, Rayquaza can’t Mega Evolve with Mega Energy alone. Trainers hoping to Mega Evolve their Rayquaza will need to teach it the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent first!

Dragon Ascent can only be learned by using Meteorites.
