'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon. In {{game|Emerald}}, it served to end the conflict between {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Rayquaza has the [[ability]] {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all effects of [[weather conditions]] on the field when it is in battle.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza a is large, green serpentine creature with rudder-like wings. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has arms with three-fingered hands. Rayquaza has long, flat "horns" on its head and two smaller horns below them. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

====Gender differences====
Rayquaza is genderless.

===Special abilities===
Rayquaza is capable of using various elemental attacks. It is also unable to be affected by weather conditions. Since Rayquaza is a "true" {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
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.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Rayquaza lives way up in the {{wp|ozone layer}}. However, in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Rayquaza resides in a lake where Fox crash lands.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza eats water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[Image:RayquazaAnime.jpg|thumb|right|Rayquaza in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'']]Rayquaza appears in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fights against {{p|Deoxys}} because it is seen as invading its territory.After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots Rayquaza relizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It also has a cameo in the opening to the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown.

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Rayquaza appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza- it becomes the same colour as a shiny pokemon

==In the manga==
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, Wally and Norman trained at the Sky Tower and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, Ruby's victory over a Salamence was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leaders test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

===NPC appearances===
[[Image:Brawl Boss Rayquaza.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza fights Fox and Diddy Kong.]]
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* [[Pokémon Ranger]]: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]: Rayquaza is shown to be in [[the Subspace Emissary]] mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
*Rayquaza is, as of [[Generation IV]], the tallest legendary Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is one of the very few Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move by level up, and the only legendary Pokémon to do so.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be captured at a higher level than the Elite Four's Pokémon before becoming the champion. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
*Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Rayquaza can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types, more than any other Pokémon that is not {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Arceus}}. It can't learn any damaging {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Toxic}}.
*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]]''.
===Origin===
It is based on {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s, or ''lóng''. In terms of relevance to other Pokémon, Rayquaza has similarities to {{wp|Ziz}}, the Hebrew lord of the sky, when compared to Groudon's {{wp|behemoth}} origins and Kyogre's {{wp|leviathan}} origins.
====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 惨 ''zan'', disaster.
