The first method of distribution is to participants of the Rayquaza Pre-Battle, which was held at participating Pokémon Card Gym venues and Pokémon Centers across Japan between April 1 and April 30, 2015.
The second method of distribution is to players who accumulate 3 Play Points by participating in concurrent Rayquaza Mega Battle-related events. These include the qualifying phases of the tournament: the Rayquaza Gym Battle, the Rayquaza Pokémon Center Battle, and the Rayquaza Mega Battle Last Challenge qualifier; and side events at the tournament itself: the 3 on 3 Battle and the Knockout Battle. Five Play Points were awarded for participating in the qualifying events, and 2 for the tournament side events. 2 Play Points were awarded for a win in any of the side events, with a further 3 Play Points awarded for a 3-match winning streak in the 3 on 3 Battle.
The Rayquaza Gym Battle was held between March 1 and March 25, 2015 at participating Pokémon Card Gym venues. The Rayquaza Pokémon Center Battle was held at participating Pokémon Centers across two periods for different age categories: between March 28 and April 4, 2015 (all ages), and between March 29 and April 5, 2015 (elementary school students). The Rayquaza Mega Battle and Last Challenge qualifier was held at the Nagoya Trade & Industry Center, Nagoya on May 5, 2015, at the Makuhari Messe, Chiba on May 9 and 10, 2015, at the Sapporo Factory, Sapporo on May 23 and 24, 2015, and at Intex Osaka, Osaka on May 31, 2015.
Unlike the Rayquaza Pre-Battle, the version of card awarded for accruing 3 Play Points is random. Each print of the first eight cards features the Pokémon Card Gym logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork.
The card was later reprinted using the old card TCG theme and artwork by Ryo Ueda and featuring the eight original gym leaders. These are as follows:
