Description
Rayquaza is the game mascot of pokémon Emerald Version, appearing on its boxart. It serves to end the raging battle between Kyogre and Groudon after they had been awakened by Team Aqua and Team Magma. Rayquaza plays an important role during pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's Delta Episode, in which it is called upon to destroy a giant meteor threatening the Hoenn region. It is also a central figure in the storyline of pokémon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC. As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the Δ (delta) symbol appearing on its forehead. Rayquaza's eyes now contain yellow pupils with red irises, and black, shichishito-shaped markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing filaments that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these filaments have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. While in flight, these filaments give Mega Rayquaza a triangular profile. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing filament that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. According to the Draconid people, Rayquaza was the first pokémon to ever Mega Evolve. In its honor, they built the Sky Pillar, where they guarded the rainbow stone that granted Rayquaza the power to Mega Evolve and recorded its many feats on the murals. Unlike other pokémon, Rayquaza does not have a corresponding Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it has an internal organ that fills the same role. A Devon Corporation scientist named it the "mikado organ" (Japanese: ミカド器官) and proposed that the combination of its meteoroid diet and own internal energy creates an effect similar to a Mega Stone; this effect, however, is not everlasting, and Rayquaza needs to keep eating meteorites in order to be able to Mega Evolve. The filaments sprouting from Mega Rayquaza's jutting jaw are made of particles that can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing it to manipulate the weather, mainly in the form of strong winds that fill the air and reduce the damage Flying-type pokémon receive from super effective attacks. Mega Rayquaza is said to have been born from humanity's wish for salvation channeled through a huge meteorite. It is thought that occurrences of Rayquaza Mega Evolving led to the mechanism behind Mega Evolution to be known, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution. Mega Rayquaza has enough power to repel the Primal forms of Groudon and Kyogre by sapping up their power with a blazing light and whipping wind. It is also capable of destroying meteors over six miles in diameter. As seen in HZ136, Mega Rayquaza is powerful enough to destroy tough objects like the Laquium Core. It has been referred to as "Δ (Delta)". There have been sightings of Mega Rayquaza flying gracefully in the sky, resembling a shooting star streaking across the night sky after a meteoroid. Mega Rayquaza is the only known pokémon that can have Delta Stream as an Ability. See also:
