Read more ↓Rayquaza is a majestic Dragon/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III with the Hoenn region. It is known as the Sky High Pokémon and is said to live in the ozone layer, constantly flying above the clouds. Its primary role in Pokémon lore is to mediate conflicts between the titanic Groudon and Kyogre, bringing balance to the world. Rayquaza has no evolutionary line but possesses the unique ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Rayquaza without needing a Mega Stone, instead requiring it to know the move Dragon Ascent. In the games, it is often a post-game encounter or a key figure in the main storyline, particularly in Pokémon Emerald where it plays a central role in stopping the clash of Groudon and Kyogre. Its design, a long, serpentine body with green scales and red-tipped fins, evokes the image of an ancient sky serpent. Rayquaza’s power and majestic appearance have made it a fan favorite, frequently appearing in anime and merchandise, symbolizing raw, untamed power and natural order. Its dragon typing gives it a complex set of type matchups, being resistant to several common types but vulnerable to others like Ice and Fairy.
