Rayquaza Raid Counters Complete Guide – Pokemon Go
Rayquaza reappears in Pokémon GO for a limited time. The flying Pokémon, the protagonist of Pokémon Emerald and a member of the Hoenn region’s legendaries cast, will appear in five-star raids for a limited time during the Meteorological Week event, which we’ll go over in detail in this article! Let’s take a look at the date, time, and features of Rayquaza’s return.
Date and Details
- Rayquaza’s return to level five raids in Pokémon GO will begin at 10:00 AM local time on Saturday, March 27, 2021, and will last until 8:00 PM local time on Sunday, March 28, 2021.
- During this time, we can expect to see him in five-star raids, but he will not be alone; instead, he will be accompanied by others such as Thundurus Totem Form.
- The Hurricane attack will be learned by the Rayquaza that we find during the event hours this weekend, making it a very interesting opportunity for possible PvP confrontations.
- Hurricane is a Flying-type move with a base damage of 110 and a DPS of 48.9 in normal conditions. It is particularly effective against Fighting, Bug, and Grass-type creatures due to its flying nature.

Mamoswine VS Rayquaza
- If you don’t have the Mega Abomasnow, there’s no need to second-guess yourself: Mamoswine is the way to go.
- When compared to Rayquaza, Mamoswine is incredible! It’s not only the fastest Rayquaza counter, but it’s also the bulkiest and most reliable.
- Even if your charge move is Stone Edge / Ancient Power and your fast move is Powder Snow, you can still be a valuable member of your raiding party. Although this is not recommended for duos.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
