Light rays from the sun enter suspended raindrops in the sky after a shower. The light enters the droplets and total internal reflection occurs, and the rays are reflected outward toward the sun again. In the second ray, light is dispersed into the 7 colours that are seen as the rainbow.
Thus, if the sun were behind us, we would see the effect. If the sun were in front of us, the light rays would be reflected away from us, rendering the rainbow invisible to the viewer.

How many degrees above the horizon does the upper edge of a rainbow usually reach?
The altitude of the highest point of the rainbow that you see is
(42 degrees) minus (the altitude of the sun above the horizon behind you).
If the sun is sitting right on the horizon ... just risen or just about to set ... then
the highest point of the rainbow is about 42 degrees above the horizon opposite
the sun. If the sun is higher, then the rainbow is lower, by the same amount. If
the sun is more than about 42 degrees above the horizon, then any rainbow you
might otherwise see is entirely below the opposite horizon, and you don't see one.

It might be connected. I think that this is how you do it: First, after getting all the eight badges of Johto, go to Ecruteak City and beat all of the kimono girls at the dance theater. Then, they will give you the Rainbow Badge. Then go to Goldenrod City and head for the radio tower. Then, defeat all the Team Rocket enemies, and the director will give you the rainbow wing. I think that if you do not have the rainbow badge, Team Rocket will not be at the radio tower.
