'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[Legendary 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}} and is not holding a [[Z-Crystal]]. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Rayquaza featured in the [[Delta Episode]] must be {{pkmn2|caught}} (which requires it to eat the {{key|VI|Meteorite}}) before the player can Mega Evolve any Rayquaza.


It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.  
Rayquaza is the game 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.


In {{game|Emerald}}, it served 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 Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it plays an important role during the Delta Episode and is required to be [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] there.


Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game.
==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, 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.


Rayquaza is the [[trio master]] of the [[Weather trio]].
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>


==Biology==
Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power as 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.
===Physiology===
 
Rayquaza is a large, green, flying serpentine-like creature with red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow rings 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 carpals, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them. Rayquaza appears to have a prominent gumline, with only two discernible fangs on the tip of its upper snout, the other protrusions in its mouth apparently from pointed gums. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.
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}}.


====Gender differences====
==In the anime==
Rayquaza is a genderless species.
===In the main series===
[[File:Rayquaza M07.png|thumb|220px|left|Rayquaza in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Hoopa Rayquaza.png|thumb|220px|Shiny Rayquaza in the anime]]
[[File:Mega Rayquaza anime.png|thumb|220px|left|Mega Rayquaza in the anime]]
[[File:Hoopa Mega Rayquaza.png|thumb|220px|Shiny Mega Rayquaza in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]=====
{{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} first appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it to be invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.


====Special abilities====
=====[[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Rayquaza|Rayquaza (anime)]]=====
It is notable for its ability to [[trio master|soothe]] the other members of the [[Weather trio]], when angered. Rayquaza is capable of using various elemental attacks that it shoots from its mouth and are incredibly ruinous in power. Rayquaza can negate the effects of the weather. Since Rayquaza is a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Because of its slim and coiling structure, Rayquaza can fly up to blinding speeds and maneuver with ease despite this.
A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where it [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} tried to battle it, but were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. It reappeared again in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.


===Behavior===
=====Other=====
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only to land on the peak of the Sky Pillar to rest. It is extremely territorial and will attack any intruders of its home. Due to the fact that it can calm the other members of [[Weather trio|its trio]], it can be seen to be considered a leader and calm.
In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Rayquaza appeared under ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.


===Habitat===
Rayquaza made its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', where it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship Ash and {{ashfr}} and Team Rocket were on, presumably protecting its territory.
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Rayquaza usually lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may come to rest on [[Sky Pillar]], [[Sky Tower Summit]], [[Sky Stairway]], or in the [[Embedded Tower]]. Its favorite air component is ozone, and known to discharge the component when it hibernates. It also, on occasion, flies the world's skies when disturbed.


===Diet===
A Rayquaza appeared in [[SS028]], where it was seen by {{an|Iris}}.
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza consumes water particles in the atmosphere.

===In Pokémon Generations===
A {{player|Trainer}}'s Rayquaza appeared in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] state in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was seen destroying the [[Grand Meteor Delta]] while being ridden by the Trainer. It later battled a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Deoxys}} that appeared from inside the Meteor, allowing its Trainer to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.

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 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 a mysterious island, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious from being disrupted. Just as it is about to eat him, a ship suddenly crash-lands and smashes onto the beach.  Out jumps {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}}, who deflects Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at it. Rayquaza collapses into the water, but not for long, as it launches back out, engaging in battle against Fox and Diddy. Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles after the storyline is beaten.

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.


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

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.
====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==
* In Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza appears to use {{m|Hyper Voice}} to calm down Groudon and Kyogre at Sootopolis. Rayquaza couldn't learn it in any Generation III game, but this was rectified in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} versions.
* Rayquaza has many differences from the other members of [[weather trio|its trio]]:
* Rayquaza has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
** It is the only member without a [[Primal Reversion|Primal form]], instead having a [[Mega Evolution]] form.
** Rayquaza has the highest Attack of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, tied with {{p|Zekrom}}, and the highest Special Attack of all Dragon-type Pokémon, tied with {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Reshiram}}.
** It is the only member not to be directly sought after by a specific crime syndicate.
* Rayquaza is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] [[legendary Pokémon]].
** It is the only member that cannot learn an [[One-hit knockout move|OHKO]] move.
**This might be because of its length, as like any other snake-shaped Pokémon.
** It is the only member that cannot learn its [[signature move]] by level-up, as it can learn it by move tutor.
* Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the [[Elite Four]]'s Pokémon before defeating the [[Elite Four (Hoenn)|Elite Four]]. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
** It is the only member that didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
* 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]]''.
* 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.
** However, in Pokemon 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.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, the tallest [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon, the tallest [[Legendary Pokémon]], and the heaviest {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[Elemental type|type]].
* In games prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Rayquaza has a catch rate of 3. It was raised to 45 in ORAS.
* 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: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[creation trio]], as well as {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, all have 90-100-100-120-120-150.
* 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 happens only in Pokémon Emerald.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that does not have a [[signature move]].
* 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 {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions#Arceus|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|15th Anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[game mascot]]s of the [[core series]] Pokémon games, making it Japan's favorite game mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in [[Pokémon Team Turbo]] in every possible instance.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" in {{g|Team Turbo}} in every instance.
* Shiny Rayquaza resembles Umbreon with both having black skin and yellow markings around their bodies, most of which being circles.  
* 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, as well as the only Pokémon who can have a different held item while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with {{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.


===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}}''.
Rayquaza may be 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.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
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'', meaning seat or location. 烈空座 as a whole could be read to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".
Rayquaza most likely refers to ''{{wp|Raqiya}}'', the Hebrew word for "firmament". It also may be a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'' (violent or furious), 空 ''kū'' (sky), and 座 ''za'' (seat or location), which can be taken to mean "one that sits in the ferocious heavens".
 
Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name for the {{wp|Emperor of Japan}} or 天皇 ''tennō'' in Japanese, which can be translated as either "heavenly sovereign" or "king of the heaven/sky".
