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

===In the Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY! manga===
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] was seen with a Rayquaza.
 
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Rayquaza (M07)}}
Rayquaza plays a major role in the second {{series|Advanced Generation}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. Likewise, it appears in the {{ma|Destiny Deoxys|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Takashi Teshirogi]].
 
A Shiny Rayquaza appears in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''.

To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, {{adv|Wally}} and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Pillar]] 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.

''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.''

Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Dragonmark Chamber}} of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. 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.

===Origin===
===Origin===
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 other creatures of myth such as the {{wp|Asian dragon}} and ''{{wp|lindworm}}''. Alternatively, Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent, and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons.
