How does Mega Rayquaza perform as a leader vs. support/joiner in Pokémon GO?

As primary starter/leader: #1 overall PvE Raid Attacker in Pokémon GO across both Flying and Dragon matchups. Note: Unlike standard Megas, Rayquaza MUST know the Charged Attack Dragon Ascent (taught using a special Meteorite item) before the game allows you to Mega Evolve it. In the secondary/joiner slot: Weather Trio Lobby Aura: Simply having Mega Rayquaza anywhere in your 6-Pokémon raid party passively boosts all allies' raid damage by +10% (and +30% for Dragon, Flying, and Psychic attacks) for the entire battle—plus grants bonus Catch Candy and XL chance across all 3 types at Mega Level 3.
