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}}.

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. | ||

*Despite being the "Sky High" Pokémon which lives high in the ozone layer, | *Despite being the "Sky High" Pokémon which lives high in the ozone layer, Rayquaza in ''Brawl'' seems to be able to live underwater (although in the game, it is capable of learning the move {{iw|Bulbapedia|Dive|move}}) and attacks by burrowing underground (it cannot learn {{iw|Bulbapedia|Dig|move}} in the games). The Pokédex says that Rayquaza never touches the ground, however, unless [[Groudon]] and [[Kyogre]] were to fight. | ||
*A glitch can happen when facing Rayquaza. It is unknown how this happens, but it can leave some of the playable character's model stuck frozen in the immediate foreground, moving with the camera. Any attack Rayquaza performs that targets the player's location go offscreen, failing to hit the almost-KO'ed player. This glitch lasts until the player quits the battle.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-If4v_7AIg]</ref> | *A glitch can happen when facing Rayquaza.

*Aside from freezing attacks being the most effective, many of Rayquaza's weaknesses and resistances do not match its properties in the ''Pokémon'' games: it resists electric, grass, water and dark attacks more than flame attacks, whereas its Pokémon typing dictates it takes regular damage from electric, ghost and dark, half damage from fire and water and quarter damage from grass. | *Aside from freezing attacks being the most effective, many of Rayquaza's weaknesses and resistances do not match its properties in the ''Pokémon'' games: it resists electric, grass, water, and dark attacks more than flame attacks, whereas its Pokémon typing dictates it takes regular damage from electric, ghost and dark, half damage from fire and water, and quarter damage from grass. | ||
