Rayquaza is a dual {{iw|Bulbapedia|Dragon|type}}/{{iw|Bulbapedia|Flying|type}}-type legendary Pokémon that debuted in the third generation of ''Pokémon'' games, serving as the version mascot for ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Emerald}}'', the solitary third version of ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}'' and fifth main series game in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation III}} overall. It is categorized within the Pokédex at #384 as the "Sky High Pokémon". A green, serpentine creature, it is part of a trio of legendary Pokémon commonly referred to as the {{iw|bulbapedia|Super-ancient Pokémon}} along with [[Groudon]] and [[Kyogre]], and in its games is able to mediate the fights between those two. Symbolising this, it has the ability {{iw|Bulbapedia|Air Lock|ability}}, which neutralises weather effects. It is considered very territorial and usually flies around in the ozone layer, often having battles with {{iw|bulbapedia|Deoxys|Pokemon}}. | Rayquaza is a dual {{iw|Bulbapedia|Dragon|type}}/{{iw|Bulbapedia|Flying|type}}-type legendary Pokémon that debuted in the third generation of ''Pokémon'' games, serving as the version mascot for ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Emerald}}'', the solitary third version of ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}'' and fifth main series game in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation III}} overall.

Rayquaza first appeared in ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' as a legendary Pokémon residing in {{iw|bulbapedia|Sky Pillar}}. However, it did not have a significant story role, with little even implying its existence. In ''Pokémon Emerald'', however, Rayquaza is the mascot and served a much bigger role, becoming the one who stops the fight between [[Kyogre]] and [[Groudon]]. It also stays in Sky Pillar once the conflict is finished and can be obtained much earlier. Rayquaza later returned in the remakes, ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}'', playing a major role in the post-game's "Delta Episode", where it was shown to be capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. Uniquely, Mega Rayquaza is the only Mega Evolution accessible without the use of a Mega Stone, instead simply by having the move {{iw|bulbapedia|Dragon Ascent|move}}. | Rayquaza first appeared in ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' as a legendary Pokémon residing in {{iw|bulbapedia|Sky Pillar}}.

Rayquaza is the second [[boss]] in The Subspace Emissary in ''Brawl''. In the mode, Rayquaza first appears in the level [[The Lake]] after {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} goes to investigate a crashed [[Arwing]]. Seeing Diddy and the Arwing's pilot as intruders of its territory, Rayquaza bursts out of the water, destroys the Arwing with a ball of energy from its mouth, and then grabs Diddy. Before it can retreat into the water, {{SSBB|Fox}} leaps from the burning Arwing and attacks Rayquaza using [[Fox Illusion]], causing it to lose its grip on Diddy Kong. The beast attacks Fox with the energy ball attack again, but Fox reflects the attack back at Rayquaza using his {{b|Reflector|move}}, sending it tumbling back into the water. Both Diddy and Fox face off against the dangerous legendary Pokémon. | Rayquaza is the second [[boss]] in The Subspace Emissary in ''Brawl''.

Additionally, when Rayquaza is defeated, it twitches at the last second, suggesting it was only knocked out (a possible throwback to the ''Pokémon'' series, where a Pokémon that is defeated in battle is said to have fainted). | Additionally, when Rayquaza is defeated, it twitches at the last second, suggesting it was only knocked out (a possible throwback to the ''Pokémon'' series, where a Pokémon that is defeated in battle is said to have fainted). |
