Pokemon GO's Mega Rayquaza makes a comeback while Team GO Rocket takes centre stage in latest update
Better take note of those Raid Hours
- Mega Rayquaza pops back in
- Team GO Rocket takes over Adventure Week
- Obtain Meteorites from events
Pokemon GO fans have plenty of reasons to get catching as Mega Rayquaza comes back with a vengeance at a special raid event, offering Trainers their chance on August 3rd. Raid Hours will be at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. local time, and if you were waiting to hatch Mega Rayquaza last month, this should hopefully make up for all the trouble during the initial raid.
In the latest update to Pokemon GO, you can look forward to an increased Remote Raid Pass limit to 20 beginning August 2nd at 5:00 p.m. to August 3rd at 8:00 p.m. PDT.
You'll need to teach Rayquaza the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent to Mega Evolve Rayquaza, which can only be learned by using Meteorites. Thankfully, the Free Timed Research event will reward you with a Meteorite when you complete the research.
Meanwhile, Team GO Rocket is also stepping into the limelight as Adventure Week is taken over from August 8th to August 12th. Shadow Lugia will make a comeback in Shadow Raids from August 10th to August 11th, and if Lady Luck is on your side, you might just score a Shiny variant!
Of course, Team GO Rocket will also appear more frequently at PokéStops; plus, the Pokémon GO Web Store Team GO Rocket Bundle will be available for $9.99 throughout the event. You can learn more about the nitty-gritty on the official blog post.
