The Pokémon Company officially confirmed the pronunciation of Rayquaza as 'Ray-KWAY-zuh' at the recent World Championships, settling a long-standing debate among fans about whether it should be pronounced 'Ray-KWAY-zuh' or 'Ray-KWAH-zuh'.
In Pokémon Go, players can obtain a Meteorite to teach Rayquaza the Dragon-type Charged Attack called Dragon Ascent, which is necessary for its Mega Evolution. Meteorites can be obtained through special research quests or as rewards from catching Rayquaza in raids. Once a Rayquaza knows Dragon Ascent and has enough Mega Rayquaza Energy, it can be Mega Evolved. Mega Rayquaza offers various bonuses, including increased damage for certain types, additional XP and Candy, and reduced rest period and Mega Energy cost.
