Meteorites are valuable items in Pokémon GO

Trainers highly seek meteorites because they’re the only reliable way to get the signature move, Dragon Ascent. The signature move is required for Mega Evolving Rayquaza. Players can obtain Meteorites through various ways, including free timed research, Mega Rayquaza Raids, and special research.

After trainers get the signature move, Dragon Ascent, they will need 400 Mega Energy to Mega Evolving Rayquaza for the first time. After that, the cost of Mega Evolving Rayquaza reduces to 80 Mega Energy, or trainers can wait until the cool-down period is over. Increasing the level of Mega Rayquaza reduces the cool-down period.
