Pokemon GO: Best Moveset for Rayquaza

Here’s a look at Rayquaza’s moveset:

MoveTypeNameDamage
FastFlyingAir Slash14
FastDragonDragon Tail15
ChargeDragonOutrage110
ChargeFlyingAerial Ace55
ChargeRockAncient Power70
ChargeFlyingHurricane110

Rayquaza’s best moveset for pure damage is Dragon Tail and Outrage, followed by Air Slash and Outrage. After that, Dragon Tail and Aerial Ace or Air Slash and Aerial Ace are the runners up. You will likely want to build Rayquaza as a Dragon-type, so Dragon Tail and Outrage is the absolute best moveset for damage.

Hurricane is Rayquaza’s legacy move, so if you catch one with the move, you might not want to TM it away. It is the best Flying-type charge move for this Pokemon, but that might not mean much in comparison.

Rayquaza’s Flying-type attacks are good, but using them can be a bit of a waste, considering Honchkrow, for instance, can have a higher overall DPS at a lower cost. However, if you have the resources, do what you like! Some players are anticipating the possibility of Dragon Ascent being introduced sometime soon, but we will have to wait and see.
