Rayquaza (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]

Rayquaza lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may rest on [[Sky Pillar]], [[Sky Tower Summit]] or in the [[Embedded Tower]]. It also, on occasion, flies the world's skies when disturbed.

{{mov|Rayquaza|Rayquaza|7}} appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. This Pokémon, like most other featured legendary Pokémon, proved to be extremely powerful, and it was possibly one of the most powerful Pokémon ever featured in the history of the anime. It fights against {{mov|Deoxys}} because it is seen as invading its territory. After a destructive battle over a glacier witnessed by [[Professor Lund]], [[Yuko]] and Lund's son [[Tory Lund|Tory]], and although it takes a few {{m|Psycho Boost}}s and is critically hit and falls into the freezing ocean, Rayquaza comes back and defeats Deoxys with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack. Four years later, Deoxys manages to regenerate, and it goes to find its friend, a fellow Deoxys, Rayquaza senses its presence and goes to LaRousse City to battle Deoxys again. After [[LaRousse City]] has been evacuated, Rayquaza manages to break through Deoxys's city-wide barrier after many failed attempts. Then, Rayquaza and Deoxys have a second spectacular battle that destroys some of the city. After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots, Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It (or possibly another of its species) also has a cameo in the opening to the [[M09|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown, possibly flying around in the atmosphere (assuming it managed to escape from Team Rocket).

To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, [[Wally]] and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Tower]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{P|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{P|Groudon}} and {{P|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{A|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''
