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 Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. In the mode, Rayquaza first appears at [[The Lake]] after {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} goes to investigate {{SSBB|Fox}}'s crashed [[Arwing]]. Seeing the duo as intruders of its territory, Rayquaza bursts out of the water, sets Fox's Arwing ablaze with a ball of energy from its mouth and then seizes Diddy. Before the Pokémon can harm him, {{SSBB|Fox}} ejects from his ruined 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 then face off against it. | Rayquaza is the second [[boss]] in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.

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

*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. | ||
