Mega Rayquaza just might be the strongest creature in all of Pokemon Go, meaning it’s highly coveted by fans everywhere. The powered-upLegendaryboasts a truly monstrous Attack stat, so whenever it’s available to catch, players get pretty excited.
For many, the challenge of finding an Elite Raid, and then finding enough players to actually beat it, was just too much. But now, it seems Niantic is taking feedback on board, as the developer announced a second Mega Rayquaza Elite Raid day to make up for these issues.
It is not currently clear whether this means another round of the maligned Elite Raids, and community sentiment under the post widely hopes they do not return.
One comment said, “Just do yourselves and your players a favor and rethink Elite Raids. They just ain’t it in their current form.” Before another added, “Just get rid of elite raids. It’s always an issue.” Previously, Elite Raids for Enamorus also ended up withmyriad issuesfor players worldwide.

Some fans even brought up how they’d actually like to spend money on the game, and Elite Raids prevent that, with a comment explaining, “Make it available for remote raids. Some of us actually want to throw money at you.”
Another comment backs this up, adding, “Please make them remoteable, if not this is gonna be a waste.”
Considering events like Pokemon Go Fest Global occasionally increase theRemote Raid Passlimit to 20 a day, Niantic isn’t entirely against Remote Raids as an idea.
