Rayquaza (Japanese: レックウザ Rayquaza) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying Legendary Pokémon

introduced in Generation III.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can Mega Evolve into Mega
Rayquaza if it knows Dragon Ascent, but only if it is not holding a Z-Crystal. In Pokémon Omega Ruby
and Alpha Sapphire, the Rayquaza featured in the Delta Episode must be caught (which requires it to
eat the Meteorite) before the player can Mega Evolve any Rayquaza.

Rayquaza is the game mascot of Pokémon Emerald, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves
to end the conflict between Kyogre and 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 there to fight Deoxys.

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 Δ 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.[1]

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: ミカド器官). 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 Forms. Rayquaza is
said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the ozone layer, where it feeds on water and
other particles. Rayquaza is rarely seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable
from that of a meteor. Rayquaza preys on the Minior in the Alola region. Rayquaza possesses some
of the strongest attack power out of any Pokémon. Rayquaza is the only known Pokémon capable of
learning the move Dragon Ascent.
