In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, there are many different Pokemon species that can be discovered, registered in your Pokedex, captured, and evolved. Among these Pokemon are a variety of rare ones, such as Legendary, Mythical, and Paradox Pokemon.
With the addition of the Teal Mask and Indigo Disk DLC, even more of these exclusive Pokemon were added into the game, giving Trainers an opportunity to encounter and capture them, as long as they meet certain requirements. If players are wondering how to encounter and capture Rayquaza in Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, then the guide below can provide you with all of the information you'll need to successfully do so.

How to Get Rayquaza in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
When it comes to encountering and capturing Rayquaza in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, there are a couple of prerequisites that Trainers must complete first. Most significantly, Rayquaza will not be available as a wild spawn until you obtain the Rayquaza Treat, which can only be acquired after defeating Terapagos.
Once you have beaten this Pokemon in battle or captured it, then you can speak to Snacksworth at Blueberry Academy and complete Burberry Quests to obtain the Rayquaza Treat. However, before being able to get to this step, you will need to have completed both the entire base game for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet as well as the Teal Mask DLC, as the Indigo Disk and encounter with Terapagos are locked behind these requirements.
After obtaining the Rayquaza Treat, Rayquaza will now spawn in the wild of the Paldea Region. At this point, if you haven't already done so, then now is the time to ensure you are fully prepared with a team for this battle, as well as stock up on extra Poke Balls if needed. After this, you can set out to find Rayquaza.
As seen in the map screenshot above, Rayquaza's spawn location is on top of the mountains that border Area Zero. To reach this location quickly and easily, fly to the Pokemon Center at South Province Area Three, and then use Miraidon or Koraidon to travel north, up the mountains. It may take a bit of searching, but if you mark the spawn point in the screenshot on your own map and then follow the marker, you should have no problems locating Rayquaza.
If you're farming for a specific Nature, then it's best to save your game before the battle, as Raqyquaza is a one-time encounter, and will not respawn once captured.
