Rayquaza (レックウザ,
Rekkuuza?)(Ray-Kway-Zuh) is a mythical creature from the
Pokémon franchise.
It is the third of a trio of
legendary Pokémon known by fans as the Trinity, alongside
Kyogre and
Groudon, and it represents the
Pokémon Emerald game, for it is featured on the game's cover art. As Kyogre's role in the Trinity is to be the Pokémon of the sea, and Groudon's role is the Pokémon of the land, it is safe to assume that Rayquaza is the Pokémon of the sky.
Rayquaza's name is a derivation of the words
ray and
quasar, the former of which make sense as Rayquaza lives under the influence of solar phenomena such as the
rays of the
Sun. The derivation from the word
quasar is likely either a misunderstanding of what a quasar really is, or giving the idea of a cosmic origin. It would appear if Groudon and
Kyogre were ever to start fighting, it would break up the feud in order to maintain the balance of nature.
[edit] Origin
Rayquaza is based on the
Chinese Dragon and the
Ziz. Rayquaza looks like a giant green snake/imperial dragon with shiny arms, no legs, black eyes, four horns on its head, black markings on its body, a pair of rudder-like wings and spines on its tail which ends in a fishlike point.

[edit] Biology
Rayquaza resides within the ozone layer of the earth and has lived up there for hundreds of millions of years without ever coming down. To those who have glimpsed and observed it from the surface of the planet, it has always appeared to be a zooming meteor. Rayquaza feeds on water and particles in the earth's atmosphere. Due to its extreme age and living conditions under the rays of the Sun, Rayquaza has been tempered to wield incredible power. This power is said to be equal, if not stronger than that of
Mew and even the legendary
Mewtwo,
Lugia, and
Ho-oh. It is capable of calming any disturbance in nature, be it a storm or drought, and is said to descend from the ozone layer if
Groudon or
Kyogre were to fight, hence its ability Air Lock which stops any weather effects.

[edit] In the video games
Rayquaza is only available in
Pokémon Ruby,
Pokémon Sapphire, and
Pokémon Emerald, at the top, sixth floor of the Sky Pillar. Rayquaza is also available as a boss in the
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games,as the last boss.
In Pokémon Emerald, Rayquaza is seen in a series of cutscenes. Once the player progresses past the Magma and Aqua Hideout, Kyogre and Groudon wake up and start fighting because of the Blue and Red Orbs controlling them. The player must journey up the Sky Pillar, where encountering Rayquaza causes it to fly off, and another series of cutscenes appear. Then Rayquaza returns to the Sky Pillar, available for capture without beating the Elite Four, but Groudon and Kyogre are not available for capture until the Elite Four are beaten.
Rayquaza is an extremely fearsome offensive force among legendary Pokémon. Its base hit points, attack, special attack, and speed stats are extremely high, and it's defense and special defense are above average considering it being grouped with the likes of Ho-oh,
Lugia, etc.. Rayquaza can learn many strong moves, including Dragon Claw, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Rest, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Earthquake, Solarbeam, Extremespeed, Blizzard, and Hyper Beam, ect. Rayquaza also has the unique Air Lock ability, which means that even in rain, Water moves used against it do not receive a damage boost, and Thunder does not gain accuracy. In areas like the
Pokémon Colosseum's LV 100 cups and other battles, it is a common choice in a player's team because of its offensive talent. However, due to Rayquaza's defense and special it could end up being severely damaged or even knocked out by an Ice-type attack if the opponent survives. As a Dragon and Flying type, it is as vulnerable to an Ice Beam attack, as are
Dragonite and
Salamence. This lack of power could be countered by using Dragon Dance if the player is not up against a Pokémon capable of learning attacks super-effective against Rayquaza, subsequently making Rayquaza an extremely powerful "sweeper": that is, a Pokémon so powerful, it can defeat several others before finally being knocked out itself, possibly even single-handedly defeating an entire 6-member party.
Rayquaza also appears as a boss in
Pokemon Ranger. In this game, it is capable of whipping up powerful gusts of wind and firing energy balls from its mouth. This is the final boss in the game, not counting the ranger net missions.

[edit] In the anime
Rayquaza is featured in the seventh
Pokémon movie,
Destiny Deoxys. Four years prior to the events of the movie, Rayquaza is nearly injured in the ozone layer by the passage of the meteor containing the essence of
Deoxys. Once the alien Pokémon awakens on ground, Rayquaza defeats it by seemingly blasting it out of existence. The legendary Pokémon returns four years later to
LaRousse City, sensing that
Deoxys has revived itself there, and it wages a fierce battle with Deoxys and its clone in the airspace of the city to minimize damage, but still causing massive destruction.
After Deoxys ends up finding what it had been searching for, it attempts to beat Rayquaza into submission, but the security system of the city goes haywire, and suddenly every human and Pokémon in the area is in jeopardy of being swarmed to death by security cubes. Rayquaza is shielded from the ensuing flood of cubes by the good Deoxys until the end, when
Ash manages to shut down the system. Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys isn't its enemy, so it returns to the ozone layer in the sky while Deoxys returns to outer space.

[edit] In the trading card game
Rayquaza has appeared eight times in the Pokémon card game, all as Basic, Colorless Pokémon except when otherwise stated:
- EX Dragon (as Rayquaza EX)
- EX Deoxys (as Rayquaza EX, and as Rayquaza "star")
- EX Emerald
- EX Delta Species(as a Steel/Lightning dual type)
- EX Holon Phantoms (as a Steel/Water dual type, and as a Fire type)
Like most Dragon-type Pokémon, Rayquaza's TCG attacks require mixed elements of Energy, in this case Fire and Lightning.
Rayquaza will star as a Pokémon-ex in the final third-generation set,
EX Dragon Frontiers, alongside other Pokémon-ex dragons.
