Battle notes

  • Mega Rayquaza's Dragon / Flying typing is best attacked with Ice (4x), Rock (2x), Dragon (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
  • Avoid relying on common Ground, Grass, Fire, Water attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Mega Rayquaza resists or ignores those matchups.
  • This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
