If you are thinking of catching Rayquaza early into the Indigo Disk narrative, we are sorry to break it to you: You will not be able to do so. Getting your hands on this Legendary Pocket Monster is a late-game venture, and you will have to play through most of the story to prepare for this beast in Scarlet and Violet.

Towards the end of your run in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC, you will meet an NPC called Snacksworth at the entrance of Blueberry Academy. You will have to talk to him if you are interested in catching all the 25 returning Legendary Pokemon.

You must then complete the Blueberry Quests, which will get you the Rayquaza Treat from Snacksworth. There is no fixed order in which you get these Treats from this NPC. So, continue completing the Blueberry Quests until you are offered the Rayquaza Treat.

Once you get this Treat, go to the location shown in the picture above, and you will find Rayquaza on top of a mountain. Use a Dragon-type Pokemon to fight and chip away the monster’s HP, or simply use a Quick Ball to catch it instantly.

Is Rayquaza shiny locked in Indigo Disk?

Unfortunately, Rayquaza is shiny locked in the Indigo Disk DLC of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It would be great to see a black Rayquaza soaring through the skies of Paldea, but that is not the case as of the writing of this article.

We hope that The Pokemon Company will release shiny variants for all shiny locked Pocket Monsters in Scarlet and Violet. That would make shiny hunting more fun.
