Dragon Ascent (Japanese: ガリョウテンセイ Dragon Ascension) is a damage-dealing Flying-type move introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. It is the signature move of Rayquaza.
Effect
Dragon Ascent inflicts damage and then lowers the user's Defense stat and Special Defense stat by one stage each.
The player can Mega Evolve any Rayquaza that knows Dragon Ascent, as long as the Meteorite has been eaten by the Rayquaza in the Delta Episode.
Dragon Ascent does not exist in the game data of Pokémon X and Y. As a result, a Pokémon knowing Dragon Ascent cannot be traded from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, and if a Pokémon in Pokémon Bank knows the move it cannot be withdrawn in Pokémon X and Y. In order to be transferred to Pokémon X and Y, the Pokémon must forget Dragon Ascent.
