Tonight Is Rayquaza Raid Hour & Primal Rumblings In Pokémon GO

Tonight, Rayquaza Raid Hour is featured as part of the overarching Primal Rumblings in Pokémon GO leading into Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn.

Tonight, one of the most beloved Legendary Pokémon will be featured during Raid Hour in Pokémon GO. Rayquaza is back in Tier Five raids for a week, which will encompass tonight's Raid Hour from 6 PM – 7 PM. During the hour, Rayquaza will appear with increased frequency in Tier Five raids in Gyms throughout the game. The highly coveted Shiny Rayquaza will be available, so be sure to get out there and play. As a tip, be sure to use Ice-types as Rayquaza is a Dragon/Flying-type species with a double weakness to Ice.
