Is anyone else dying for a Rayquaza return?
I don’t really care about shinies but the black rayquaz does look kind of cool. More importantly, I don’t have a great* one 😤

I’d love to trade ya one. I don’t want to invest the Rare Candy (I have 12 Rayquaza candies) for the nearly inevitable return where I might be able to get a better IV. I have 2 level 40 and 1 level 35 Dragonites so I’m not hurting for Dragon attackers. I would almost prefer a Flying attack Rayquaza.
The IV distribution is visible in the screenshot but the attack for the 89% is 13 and the 82% is 15A. I had a comprehensive enough team for every Giratina raid I did (see attachment for top 6 counters~). Rayquaza would have absolutely strengthened my team but I never failed a raid for lack of raiders/optimization (Sincere appologizes to rurual players)
I'm with you on this. I never powered up any of my Rayquazas that are waiting for their time in my box (one with double dragon moveset, one with double flyingm oveset, 80%+ IVs). My 3 Dragonites and a handful of powerful pokémon with flying/psychic moves are enough. Though I'd really like to catch a shiny :)
I've been desperate for Ray and groudon since kyogre's return. I missed all 3 the first time, so was extremely excited when kyogre came back.
Ray is a bigger hope as it's extremely useful in so many places - especially since I also missed latios, don't have any Salamance, and missed dratini CD so only have 2 dragonite at level 35. I can replace groudon with rhyperior over time more easily, not to mention ground isn't that needed of a type unless we see heatran soon.
Ray is one of my favorite legendaries and I would welcome another round of it with open arms. It definitely won the shiny lottery and it hits like a locomotive. With its signature move being flying type it's basically immune to the "better version" syndrome that haunts nearly every legendary released and not. Unless you're running a dual flying one now, in which case good god why?
Yes no maybe okay sorta maybe not really but I'm not against it entirely?
I hated Rayquaza when it first came out; I had a glitch of some sort that kept me from being able to hit it on a regular basis. (I still vividly remember one raid where I had 9 balls and EVERY ONE MISSED.) I wasn't the only one in my local raid scene with this problem, but I had it the worst; at least 40% of my balls would be too short to catch the Rayquaza, and at that time I was a level 38 with something like 10,000 Pokémon catches under my belt, so I knew what I was doing.
I managed to snag myself two good Rayquaza's eventually (a 93% A/S 15 and an 84% A/S 14), so I'm good for Rayquaza. I'm not AGAINST Rayquaza returning, I'm just not rooting for it. If I never see another Wild Rayquaza, it will still be too soon.
