Sunday program :

• Beginning of the Mega-Rayquaza era: For the first time worldwide, this Pokémon will appear on Pokémon GO.
  
• Link between Meteorites & Mega-Rayquaza: Trainers involved in global events may come across a new item, the Meteorite. Mysteriously, it seems to be connected to Mega-Rayquaza.
  
• Flagship attack: Draco Ascension: A formidable technique that Rayquaza can learn after coming into contact with a Meteorite. This attack is essential for his mega-evolution.
  

Finally, on the second day of the festival, all Pokémon that appeared in the wild on the first day will return at the event times. With no scheduled habitat rotation on that day, these Pokémon could pop up at any moment.
