Ozone Ascent: Mega Rayquaza Timed Research

Unlike other Mega-Evolving Pokémon, Rayquaza can’t Mega Evolve with Mega Energy alone. Trainers hoping to Mega Evolve their Rayquaza will need to teach it the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent first using a Meteorite. Dragon Ascent can only be learned by using Meteorites.
