 The three Pokémon could be references to the Biblical mythologies, {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird, respectively. Also, their role as the guardian, as well as their respective types, are related to the elemental spheres; Kyogre being the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon being the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza being the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These three members all appear to have similar physiology; identical signs on their body, as well as their yellow eyes.
-In their reprised roles in the [[remake]]s of {{g|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Groudon and Kyogre gained the ability to undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and Rayquaza the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Primal Reversion is said to be a process whereby the Pokémon return to their original power. Meanwhile, Rayquaza is said to be the first Pokémon to have Mega Evolved.

 In their original appearance in Generation III, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} [[Ability|Abilities]] belonged exclusively to them. Though several non-Legendary Pokémon have other Abilities that can alter the [[weather]], only {{a|Cloud Nine}}'s effect overlaps with the effects of the trio's Abilities (with Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}}). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

-==In the anime==
+===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
-All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in the anime. {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Lance]] managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively.
+In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all three members of the weather trio can be encountered in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]] through [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/7|US}} can be encountered in the Cave World through a yellow warp hole. {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/7|UM}} can be encountered in the Water World through a blue warp hole. {{p|Rayquaza}} can be encountered in the Cliff World through a red warp hole, as long as both Groudon and Kyogre are in the player's party.
-{{p|Rayquaza}} debuted separately from the other members of its trio. It first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' defending its territory from a {{p|Deoxys}}. It later made its television debut in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'' as an illusion.

-[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza debuted in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} attempted to battle it with their receptive Mega Pokémon, but are quickly overwhelmed as it causes destruction to the surrounding area.
+Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{Shiny}} Mega Rayquaza all made a major appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and The Clash of Ages]]''. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were summoned by an entity of {{an|Hoopa}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Unbound}} form, along with the [[creation trio]] and {{p|Kyurem}}, and were controlled by the evil shadow in order to terrorize Dessert City. It is revealed that long ago, the two engaged in a battle with Hoopa in its Unbound form to entertain the citizens of Dessert City, but this ended when Hoopa's power was sealed by [[Ghris]]. Mega Rayquaza was summoned by Hoopa along with Latias and Latios in order to stop the entity of Hoopa's Unbound form from terrorizing Dessert City.

+In ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Rayquaza appeared after [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} used their [[Key Stone|Mega Ring and Mega Stickpin]], respectively, to open one of Hoenn's ancient ruins and reveal the legendary giant rock. The energy emitted by the rock not only brought Rayquaza to the ruins, but it also awoke Groudon and Kyogre from their slumbers. Rayquaza, in a fit of rage, began attacking the people responsible for unlocking the giant rock. Seeing that, Alain and Steven sent out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, but to no avail. Rayquaza destroyed the ruins by using {{m|Draco Meteor}}, disintegrating the giant rock in the process before returning to the ozone layer.
+In ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Alain and Steven were monitoring the area around [[Rustboro City]] when they noticed that Groudon had awakened and was seemingly moving towards the coastline. Steven wondered if Kyogre could also appear, and just at that moment they received footage of the {{pkmn|category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}. Lysandre then commented on the possibility of the [[Pokémon world]] being destroyed, scaring Mairin. After that, Steven explained to her that there is a legend in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that has been told since ancient times. According to Steven, the legend says that in the prehistoric era, Primal Groudon expanded the continents and Primal Kyogre expanded the seas. The two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were locked in a fierce struggle to obtain a source of enormous energy. That struggle shook the land and the skies, nearly destroying the world in the process. He also added that some people believe the energy source they were searching for was the legendary giant rock.
+Steven and Lysandre soon discovered that both Groudon and Kyogre were following an energy similar to that of the legendary giant rock. Suspecting the rock would materialize in the place Groudon and Kyogre were headed, Lysandre ordered Alain to protect it from the super-ancient Pokémon. After that, Alain and Steven flew over the area on a plane and, when the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal Pokémon]] started fighting for the source of energy, they sent out their Charizard and Metagross to prevent them from consuming the rock's energy. However, Charizard and Metagross had trouble fighting against the Legendary Pokémon, but their combined efforts protected the legendary giant rock long enough for Rayquaza to step in and put an end to the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, causing them to return to their regular forms. After that, [[Team Flare|Lysandre's employees]] appeared to take away the giant rock, blocking its energy and placing it in a submarine. With the rock away, all three super-ancient Pokémon retreated.
