*Rayquaza is currently the only Pokémon with its [[base stats|base stat total]] that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[dragon trio]] all have 90-100-100-120-120-150. | *Rayquaza is currently the only Pokémon with its [[base stats|base stat total]] that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[dragon trio]] all have 90-100-100-120-120-150. | ||

Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from a ''{{wp|Chinese dragon}}''. | |||

Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Although Rayquaza's Romanized name suggests its Japanese name is meant to be the same as its English name, it could be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'', violent or furious, 空 ''kū'', sky, and 座 ''za'', from universe. | Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''.
