How to get a Meteorite and teach Dragon Ascent in Pokémon Go

Meteorites are essential items in Pokémon Go that allow players to teach Dragon Ascent, a powerful Dragon-type Charged Attack, to Rayquaza. Once you have Rayquaza equipped with Dragon Ascent, you can proceed to conduct its Mega Evolution. However, you will also need to collect the required amount of Mega Rayquaza Energy to complete this evolution.

How to Obtain a Meteorite in Pokémon Go

Meteorites can be acquired by either defeating Mega Rayquaza in raids or by completing research quests, such as Special Research or Timed Research quests. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee of receiving a Meteorite from defeating Mega Rayquaza, so it’s advisable to complete any available research quests as well. Participating in raids is still beneficial as you will need Mega Rayquaza Energy for the evolution process.

The methods to obtain Meteorites were made available during special event days, particularly during Mega Rayquaza Raid events. During these events, Mega Rayquaza appears in Elite Raids at specific times throughout the day. Additionally, free Timed Research quests may offer a Meteorite as a reward, making it worthwhile to complete them to secure this valuable item.

What Are Meteorites Used For in Pokémon Go?

Meteorites serve a singular purpose in Pokémon Go—to teach Rayquaza the Dragon Ascent Charged Attack. Any Rayquaza that learns this move can then undergo Mega Evolution, but it requires 400 Mega Rayquaza Energy.

This energy can be obtained by defeating Mega Rayquaza in raids, completing special research quests, or by walking with Rayquaza as your buddy. It’s important to note that Meteorites are one-use-only items, meaning once you use a Meteorite to teach Dragon Ascent to a Rayquaza, it will be consumed and cannot be used again. If you wish to Mega Evolve a different Rayquaza, you will need to acquire an additional Meteorite.

How to Teach Dragon Ascent in Pokémon Go

To teach Dragon Ascent, first locate the Rayquaza you wish to Mega Evolve in your Pokémon Storage. Once you find it, scroll down to its moveset and look for the option to teach it Dragon Ascent.

Select ‘Dragon Ascent’ and confirm by choosing ‘Yes’ to use your Meteorite for this purpose. After teaching Dragon Ascent, you will now be able to Mega Evolve that Rayquaza, provided you have the required Mega Rayquaza Energy.

Mega Rayquaza Bonuses in Pokémon Go

When you have Mega Rayquaza active, it provides several bonuses in battles. These bonuses include an increase in damage dealt by Dragon, Flying, and Psychic-type Pokémon during raids and Gym battles. Additionally, players receive extra experience points (XP), Candy, and a higher chance of earning Candy XL when capturing these types of Pokémon.

Furthermore, the Mega Level of Rayquaza increases with each Mega Evolution, which enhances the bonuses it provides, including reducing the rest period and the Mega Energy cost for future evolutions.

Good luck in your quest to collect Meteorites and enjoy the exciting experience of Mega Rayquaza!
