The Gen 3 Legendary Rayquaza returned to Pokemon Go earlier this month, but it won`t be around for much longer. The Legendary Pokemon is leaving the game once again in a couple of days, making this your last chance to catch it and its Shiny form.Rayquaza will appear in five-star Raid Battles until 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST on September 2, so you`ll have until then to add one to your collection for the foreseeable future. As usual, you`ll first need to team up with other players at a Gym where a Rayquaza Raid is taking place and battle the Legendary Pokemon before you can capture it.Even if you`ve previously caught Rayquaza, you`ll want to check out some Rayquaza Raids while you can, as you`ll have a chance to encounter the Legendary`s Shiny form for the first time in Go. Unfortunately, you can`t tell in advance which Raid will produce a Shiny Rayquaza until you get to the catching phase, so if you`re hoping to get one, you`ll need to be persistent and participate in as many Raids as you can.Pokemon Go Guide: How To Catch And Purify Team Rocket`s Shadow PokemonPokemon Go Thousand-Year Slumber Research Guide - How To Catch JirachiPokemon Go Eevee Guide: How To Get Any Eevee EvolutionRayquaza is a dual Dragon/Ice Pokemon, which gives it a 4x weakness to Ice Pokemon. If you`re planning on battling it, you best bet will be to bring along Pokemon like Mamoswine, Weavile, and Glaceon. Fairy- and Dragon-types are also super-effective against Rayquaza, although the Legendary can hit other Dragon Pokemon back for super-effective damage as well.
