Rayquaza is a Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Go that you can only encounter during limited time events. It can be available for about a month as a five-star raid encounter, over a weekend for one-off events, or coincide with events unlocked by Pokémon Go players. When it's available, you want to try it out. fight as many times as possible, but you will need the help of other trainers. It is not an easy meeting. When you catch it, what are the best moves to learn?
Rayquaza is a Dragon and Flying type Pokémon. It has a max CP of 3835, attack of 284, defense of 170, and stamina of 213. It is weak for Dragon, Fairy, and Rock types, but it is particularly vulnerable to Ice-type attacks. It is primarily an aggressive Pokemon, so you want to use it with more defensive options to protect yourself against its huge Ice-type weakness, so it works well with Fire and Psychic-types.
Here are all the moves Rayquaza can learn:
Fast movements:
- Airstrike (flying type) (16,8 damage and 10 energy)
- Dragon tail (Dragon type) (18 damage and 9 energy)
Load movements:
- Ancient Power (rock type) (70 damage and 33 energy)
- Air Ace (flying type) (66 damage and 33 energy)
- Outrage (Dragon type) (132 damage and 50 energy)
Of the above moves, Dragon tail is the best choice for Rayquaza's quick attack. If he knows about air cuts, it's not the end of the world, and air attacks do substantial damage, but Dragon Tail has higher overall DPS that you don't want to ignore.
For charged moves, you can ignore the ancient power. It's not something you want on your Rayquaza, and if you have a Rayquaza with high stats and he knows an ancient power, get rid of that move immediately. The other two choices are your main concern. When it comes to an air ace over outrage, outrage is the clear and final winner, hands down. This would do more damage overall, even if Air Ace was used twice before.
Your best bet is to have Rayquaza who knows about dragon tail and outrage, but you can replace the dragon tail with a slash if you want yours to know different types of attacks to hit multiple types of Pokemon.
