The choice is therefore up to you, but if you want to test the power of Mega Rayquaza and you have Sunday free, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Ascent of the Dragon, in addition to allowing you to Mega Evolve, is an incredibly powerful move: if you want the most powerful attack (to date) in the game, the ticket becomes a must.
