PSA: Today Is The LAST DAY To Download Your Shiny Rayquaza In ‘Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire’!

Procrastinators, it’s that time again!

If you were hoping to grab a shiny Rayquaza by soft resetting and battling it over and over again in your copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire, you probably figured out by now that it’s not possible this time around. Luckily, Game Freak and Nintendo began distributing a black clad shiny version through Mystery Gift last month in North America, giving every trainer in the West a chance to wield its power with its stylish variant color. But like all Mystery Gifts, it’s only available for a limited time… and that time’s almost up!

Coming equipped with its signature Dragon Ascent attack, this powerful move allows the ozone dragon to Mega Evolve into its most powerful form without a stone, freeing up its item slot for even better boosts and strategy. No wonder he was put on the ban list so quick! If you haven’t already, you have until about 9 PM PST this evening to head to your menu and grab this legendary monster, or he’ll likely be gone forever… Or until you can buy an Action Replay.

Have you grabbed yours yet? Or do you have any counters to fight against it that you’d like to share? Sound off below!
