Creature description

Rayquaza's voice is from the anime movie, Destiny Deoxys, like other Pokémon in the Smash Bros. series.

Role In The Subspace Emissionary

Rayquaza is the first confirmed Pokémon character to be a boss in adventure mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the Subspace Emissionary, Rayquaza first appears in the jungle after Diddy Kong goes to investigate a crashed Arwing. It bursts out of the water and destroys the Arwing with Dragon Pulse, then grabs Diddy. Before it can retreat in the water, Fox McCloud comes out and attacks Rayquaza, causing it to lose its grip on Diddy Kong. The Pokémon attacks Fox with Dragon Pulse again, but Fox reflects the attack back at Rayquaza, sending it tumbling back into the water. Both Diddy and Fox face off against the dangerous Legendary Pokémon. He can also be battled at any given time in boss mode. It has not been proven he has any link to the Subspace Emissary and could just be angry at Diddy and Fox for intruding on its territory. However, at the last level, Tabuu resurrects Rayquaza to slow down the heroes in the maze he creates out of previous worlds.
