It has finally been revealed that Mega Rayquaza will arrive in Pokemon GO again. In a short trailer, Niantic announced the new Shared Skies event, which will display a variety of Pocket Monsters. The trailer closes with a beautiful shot of the Dragon/Flying-type Mega Rayquaza in an instant green flash, then flying majestically across the screen.

Rayquaza is coming back to Pokemon GO after a long time and has created a stir among players. Redditor u/Emeloria captured the sentiment perfectly with his post on the game's subreddit:

"!!!It’s Back!!!"

The post received fast and enthusiastic responses, further solidifying the eagerness and nostalgia of the community for this return.

Redditors have been expressing their excitement and anticipation. u/Sncereno encapsulated the general sentiment:

"LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Meanwhile, u/CassetteLine voiced a common frustration:

"Finally! I’ve been stuck on 390 mega energy since the first release. So annoying!"

u/Curiosities shared a story about their last encounter with Mega Rayquaza during a remote raid. They were excited about the promo, mentioning that last time they could join only one remote raid and didn't get any mega energy because of Niantic's rules, but they were lucky enough to catch the shiny Rayquaza, which was super exciting for them.
