Tips

Mega Rayquaza needs Dragon Ascent—taught with Meteorites, not Mega Energy—to Mega Evolve. Meteorites come only from this event's Timed Research.

Mega Rayquaza (Dragon/Flying) is a top-tier attacker in Master League and Dragon raids. Prioritize Meteorites for learning Dragon Ascent.

Consider the paid ticket ($4.99) if you want to stockpile Mega Energy quickly. The free research only rewards Meteorites and a Rayquaza encounter.

Complete all research and claim rewards by 8:00 p.m. local time on July 26.
