'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].


It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.  
While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''', but only if it knows the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.


Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the [[weather trio]], serving as its [[trio master]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it plays an important role during the [[Delta Episode]] and is required to be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] there.


==Biology==
==Biology==
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw. It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio. Rayquaza can live for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor.
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine creature. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.
 
As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the {{tt|Δ|Delta}} symbol appearing on its forehead. Its eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, tree-like markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.<ref name="Mega">http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza</ref>
 
Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power of a [[Mega Stone]]. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named this organ the mikado organ (Japanese: '''ミカド{{tt|器官|きかん}}'''). By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.
 
It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio, even in their [[Primal Reversion|Primal Forms]]. Rayquaza can live for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. Rayquaza is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.

To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|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 rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free. Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the [[Sky Pillar]] when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} in conjunction with Ruby's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s. When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again, and has not been seen since.

Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands on the lake portion of the Smash World, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious at being disrupted. Just as it is about to eat him {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had already crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox reflects its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong. <br>
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong.


Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles mode after the storyline is beaten. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.
Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

====Trophy Information====
''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.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the Dragonmark Chamber of the Wii U version exclusive stage {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}}, which is based on [[Pokémon X and Y]]'s {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.
===Trophy Information===
''This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} base stat  of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Rayquaza has many differences from the other members of [[weather trio|its trio]]:
** It is also tied with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Yveltal}} for highest base stat total of all Flying-type Pokémon.
** It is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon.
* Rayquaza is the tallest [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, and Flying-type Pokémon.
** It is the only member without a [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]], instead having a [[Mega Evolution]] form.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the {{Ho|Elite Four}}. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
** It is the only member not to be directly sought after by a specific crime syndicate.
* It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
** It is the only member that cannot learn an [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] move.
** However, in Pokémon Emerald the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
** It is the only member that cannot learn its [[signature move]] by level-up, as it can learn it by move tutor.
* Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[type]].
** It is the only member that didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a [[base stats|base stat]] total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|680}} that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon.
*** However, evidence says that it will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling; in {{game|Emerald}}, the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that does not have a [[signature move]].
* Mega Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** Mega Rayquaza is also the tallest [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.
** Mega Rayquaza is the tallest [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Mega Rayquaza is the heaviest {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* In games prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Rayquaza has a catch rate of 3.
**Rayquaza's catch rate was raised to 45 in ORAS, likely due to it being a required capture during the storyline.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the {{Ho|Elite Four}}. This only happens in Pokémon Emerald.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|15th anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[version mascot]]s of the [[core series]] Pokémon games, making it Japan's favorite version mascot.

* Even though Rayquaza uses {{m|Dig}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it has no way of learning the move in any Pokémon game.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to do so in the games.
** Rayquaza is also the only [[trio master]] capable of Mega Evolution.
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with both of {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780.
** This makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn't require a specific held item.
* When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Rayquaza, the game will state, "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza", instead of the normal message.
* Rayquaza's battle theme in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] is the only battle theme that can play while the player is capable of walking in the overworld; there is a brief period of time between the cutscene in which [[Zinnia]] summons it and the battle itself where the player must approach Rayquaza themselves.
