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.
- Rayquaza Weakness: Ice, Fairy, Rock, Dragon-type moves
- Rayquaza is resistant to: Fighting, Water, Bug, Ground, Fire, Grass-type moves

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.
