Рэйкваза (яп. レックウザ Rayquaza, англ. Rayquaza) — легендарный покемон двойного /-типа. Является членом Погодного Трио вместе с Кайогром и Граудоном.
Описание
Внешне этот покемон напоминает змею с трёхпалыми лапами. Близ головы видно четыре нароста, а на теле есть три утолщения с наростами. Покемон зелёного цвета с жёлтым узором.
Характер
Рэйкваза, кажется, очень агрессивный и территориальный покемон, показанный, когда он напал на Деоксиса. Тем не менее, его агрессия по отношению к Деоксису может происходить из убеждения, что Рэйкваза уполномочен защищать Землю от метеоритов и подобных угроз.
В мифологии региона Хоэнн говорилось, что Рэйкваза прекратил борьбу между Граудоном и Кайогром. Он известен своей яростной защитой своей территории. Примером этого может служить появление Деоксиса, упавшего из космоса в метеоре, Рэйкваза подумал, что Деоксис вторгается на его территорию, и поэтому атаковал его. Это было в Судьбе Деоксиса, 7-м фильме о покемонах.
Способности
Внутри тела Рэйквазы лежит орган, который обладает той же силой, что и Мега Камень. Ученый из корпорации Девон назвал этот орган органом микадо (по-японски ミ カ ド 器官). Поглощая метеориты по мере их прохождения через стратосферу, орган микадо будет наполнен достаточным количеством энергии, чтобы включить Мега Эволюцию.
Он может успокоить других членов погодного трио, даже в их Первобытных формах. Говорят, что Рэйкваза прожил сотни миллионов лет в озоновом слое, где питается водой и другими частицами. Рэйкваза редко замечается людьми; даже в полете его внешний вид неотличим от метеора. Рэйкваза охотится на миниоров в регионе Алола. Рэйкваза — единственный известный покемон, способный разучить атаку «Восхождение Дракона«.
Обитание
Родом из региона Хоэнн. Он летает в озоновом слое далеко над облаками и его невозможно увидеть с земли. Он живет в стратосфере и часто спускается к Небесному Столбу. Он чувствует себя очень комфортно в озоновом слое. Он питается частицами воды, которые взвешены в воздухе, а когда ему нужно мега эволюционировать, он питается энергией метериоритов.
Сериал
Рейкваза впервые появился в 7-м покемон фильме. А в 18-м покемон фильме был показан Шайни Рейкваза, способный Мега эволюционировать.

Интересные факты
- Рэйкваза — единственный покемон, способный к Мега Эволюции, для которого не требуется мега камень (не считая Грениндзю Эша).
- Рэйкваза — единственный член погодного трио, который имеет двойной тип, не считая Первобытного Граудона.
Прообраз
Дизайн Рэйквазы, вероятно, основан на китайском драконе и дождевом черве. Так же прообразом могли послужить и наги. Его роль похожа на роль Зиза в еврейских легендах. Рэйкваза соответствует описанию ацтекского бога Кецалькоатля, который был изображен как летающий змей и создал границу между землей и небом. Его способности обитать в небесах и жить там, в течение столетий питаясь ничем иным, как росой и частицами, также несет в себе аспекты легендарных китайских мудрецов-отшельников и восточноазиатских драконов.
Этимология
Рэйкваза скорее всего происходит от слова «Raqiya» — небосвод, по-еврейски. Также он может быть комбинацией «Ray» — луч и «Quasar» — квазар, класс астрономических объектов, являющихся одними из самых ярких в видимой Вселенной. Также Рэйкваза может быть комбинацией «烈» (retsu) — жестокий, яростный, «空» (kū) — небо и «座» (za) — место, локация. Это может означать «тот, кто находится в свирепых небесах«.
Название органа Рэйквазы, позволяющий ему мега эволюционировать, может происходить от «帝» (mikado) — император.
Галерея
Rayquaza (Japanese: レックウザ Rekkuuza) is a Dragon/Flying-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the version mascot for Pokémon Emerald.
It is a member of the Weather Trio, alongside Kyogre and Groudon.
Biology
Physiology
Rayquaza is a long, green, serpentine Pokémon with yellow eyes. It has pink lining in the mouth. It has yellow, linked, circular markings down its entire body. In Mega form, it has a Delta-shaped jaw on its mouth, yellow energy «ribbons», and an elongated serpent body. As Mega Rayquaza, it is more aggressive and powerful.
Shiny Rayquaza replaces all of the green with black.
As a natural ability, Rayquaza can float and control the speed, direction and altitude of its levitation. Despite not having used any of these characteristics in battle throughout its appearances in the anime, all Rayquaza have sharp claws on their hands, sharp teeth and a powerful constrictor body. It’s not known if Mega Rayquaza can use its energy whips/tentacles as weapons or if they are simply regular body parts. Naturally, given it can travel through the ozone layer safely and even higher layers of Earth’s atmosphere, it demands very little air to live and possibly none. If none, it could possibly travel through space, since the layer that intermediates the Ozone layer and the troposphere can hit -60 °C or -76 F. If the belief that Rayquaza is responsible for destroying meteors still in the higher atmospheric layers is true, it would have to be able to endure temperatures that can reach -100 °C, or even -148 F. It shows that Rayquaza have a great resistance to cold, which is ironic since it has double weakness to Ice typing. Despite its resistance, it is not known if Rayquaza can endure the -270 °C or -454 F of the absolute vacuum of space.
Due to its nature of absorbing ozone layer particles, if Rayquaza is in the Alola region, it is a direct predator of Minior, should the latter Pokémon die in its core form and become one with the universe, its absorbed particles left behind for Rayquaza to feed on.
Behavior
Rayquaza seems to be a very aggressive and territorial Pokémon, shown when it attacked a Deoxys. Yet, its aggression toward Deoxys could derive from the belief that Rayquaza is commissioned with the natural duty of shielding Earth from meteorites and similar threats, as was hinted in the Delta Episode bonus in the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Pokémon games.
In the Hoenn region’s mythology, it was said that Rayquaza stopped the fight between Groudon and Kyogre. It lives in the ozone layer far above the clouds and cannot be seen from the ground. It is noted for protecting its territory fiercely. An example of this was when a Deoxys, which had fallen from space in a meteor, appeared, Rayquaza thought that Deoxys was invading its territory and attacked it.
Evolution
Mega Rayquaza
Rayquaza does not evolve normally. Rayquaza can Mega Evolve however, after learning the move Dragon Ascent.
Game info
Battling Rayquaza in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Rayquaza is a Generation III Pokémon, first appearing in the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games. In 2005, Rayquaza became the version mascot for the Pokémon Emerald game. In all three games, Rayquaza can only be obtained at the Sky Pillar. It can be caught after the eighth Gym (but only for Pokémon Emerald), making for an easy victory over the Elite Four.
In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Rayquaza plays a key role in the story. Xatu warns all of the Pokémon in Pokémon Square that a large star is falling and is going to destroy the planet and says that the only way to get rid of it is to ask Rayquaza to destroy it. The main character must use Xatu’s teleporting stone to reach the Sky Tower, where Rayquaza dwells. When the main character meets Rayquaza, it is extremely enraged to see that Pokémon from the ground have come «where they are not supposed to be». When the player beats Rayquaza, it will realize its mistake. The star that will destroy the planet is coming near, so Rayquaza blasts it with its Hyper Beam. The blast is so overwhelming that the main character and his partner fall off the top of Sky Tower.
It can also be found in HeartGold and SoulSilver in Embedded Tower after the player obtains Kyogre (HeartGold) or Groudon (SoulSilver).

A Rayquaza close up
Rayquaza is the second main boss the player must fight in Super Smash Bros. Brawl’s Adventure Mode, The Subspace Emissary. Diddy Kong runs to find help for Donkey Kong, and comes across a large lake. He notices a destroyed Arwing nearby, and goes to investigate. Rayquaza appears out of the lake, angry that Diddy trespassed into its territory. It grabs Diddy, but Fox emerges from the Arwing and uses Fox Illusion to free Diddy Kong from Rayquaza’s grasp. The two quickly team up and defeat Rayquaza. Rayquaza’s appearance is also notable because it is the only boss in The Subspace Emissary who is fought by a group that does not include any other characters from its own series.
It is interesting to note that Rayquaza was found within the lake as opposed to its usual dwelling, the sky.
Rayquaza appears later in the Great Maze, as one of the eight bosses the player must face before completing the adventure.
Rayquaza also appears in Brawl’s stadium, in a mode called Boss Battles. Rayquaza is one of the ten bosses that the player must fight.

Shiny Mega Rayquaza in the anime.
Rayquaza makes its debut in the 7th movie MS007: Pokémon — Destiny Deoxys. Like all other Legendary Pokémon, Rayquaza is a truly powerful Pokémon. Four years before the main movie, Rayquaza had fought against Deoxys because it thought the Pokémon was invading its territory when the meteorite Deoxys used for travel landed on the earth. Rayquaza has also made its cameo appearance as in the beginning of the 9th move MS009: Pokémon Movie — Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, but as having become the Team Rocket agents’ stolen and unethically experimented victim. It is unknown whether or not it has remained at or escaped from the Team Rocket base.
When Iris was leaving Blackthorn City with Axew and her newly captured Gible, she spotted Rayquaza flying through the clouds in the sky. A Shiny Rayquaza also appears in MS018: Pokémon The Movie — Hoopa and the Clash of Ages as an ally of Hoopa and Ash against Hoopa Unbound, while another appears in the Mega Evolution Specials.

Trivia
- Rayquaza is the only Pokémon boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- Rayquaza is the only member of the Weather Trio to have a Mega Evolution instead of a Primal Reversion.
- Rayquaza is the first (and only) Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution without a Mega Stone. Instead, it is caused by knowing its signature move, Dragon Ascent.
- Rayquaza can’t Mega Evolve if it holds a Z-Crystal, even if it knows Dragon Ascent.
- Mega Rayquaza is the first Pokémon to be banned from the Ubers tier, thus resulting in a new tier being made. This was due to its overpowered move Dragon Ascent (which could OHKO even Uber Tier Pokémon), as well as the fact that its lack of a Mega Stone meant it could hold stat-boosting items that could raise its already overly-powerful stats even more. As of now it is only allowed in the «Anything Goes» tier.
- Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Flying-type Pokémon.
- Rayquaza is one of the few Legendary Pokémon to Mega Evolve.
- Rayquaza is the only member of the Weather Trio to have two types up until Gen VI, which introduced the dual-typed Primal reversion of Groudon.
- Rayquaza is known to eat meteors in the sky.
- Rayquaza is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Rayquaza ranked 8th, among all Pokémon, in the Pokémon of the Year 2020 poll by The Pokémon Company. It also ranked 1st among all Hoenn Pokémon.
Origin
Rayquaza is based on an East Asian dragon with elements of the Ziz from Abrahamic religion (as both are described as being masters of the sky) and the Aztec wind god Quetzalcoatl, who was often portrayed as a feathered serpent.
Etymology
Rayquaza and Rekkūza come from «ray» (referring to the cosmic radiation it would likely be exposed to in its ozone layer habitat), «quasar» (the most distant celestial objects observed thus far, often theorized to be galaxies emitting high levels of radiation), and possibly «raqiya» (a Hebrew word that literally means «expanse,» but has been used to mean «sky»). They may also be derived from 烈 (retsu, Japanese for «furious»), 空 (kū, «sky», heaven, «air,» or «vacuum» in Japanese), and 座 (za, Japanese for «seat», but also used as a suffix for constellations), thus meaning «one who sits in the furious sky.»

Rayquaza makes its debut in the 7th movie MS007: Pokémon — Destiny Deoxys. Like all other Legendary Pokémon, Rayquaza is a truly powerful Pokémon. Four years before the main movie, Rayquaza had fought against Deoxys because it thought the Pokémon was invading its territory when the meteorite Deoxys used for travel landed on the earth. Rayquaza has also made its cameo appearance as in the beginning of the 9th move MS009: Pokémon Movie — Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, but as having become the Team Rocket agents’ stolen and unethically experimented victim. It is unknown whether or not it has remained at or escaped from the Team Rocket base.
When Iris was leaving Blackthorn City with Axew and her newly captured Gible, she spotted Rayquaza flying through the clouds in the sky. A Shiny Rayquaza also appears in MS018: Pokémon The Movie — Hoopa and the Clash of Ages as an ally of Hoopa and Ash against Hoopa Unbound, while another appears in the Mega Evolution Specials.

Trivia
- Rayquaza is the only Pokémon boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- Rayquaza is the only member of the Weather Trio to have a Mega Evolution instead of a Primal Reversion.
- Rayquaza is the first (and only) Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution without a Mega Stone. Instead, it is caused by knowing its signature move, Dragon Ascent.
- Rayquaza can’t Mega Evolve if it holds a Z-Crystal, even if it knows Dragon Ascent.
- Mega Rayquaza is the first Pokémon to be banned from the Ubers tier, thus resulting in a new tier being made. This was due to its overpowered move Dragon Ascent (which could OHKO even Uber Tier Pokémon), as well as the fact that its lack of a Mega Stone meant it could hold stat-boosting items that could raise its already overly-powerful stats even more. As of now it is only allowed in the «Anything Goes» tier.
- Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Flying-type Pokémon.
- Rayquaza is one of the few Legendary Pokémon to Mega Evolve.
- Rayquaza is the only member of the Weather Trio to have two types up until Gen VI, which introduced the dual-typed Primal reversion of Groudon.
- Rayquaza is known to eat meteors in the sky.
- Rayquaza is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Rayquaza ranked 8th, among all Pokémon, in the Pokémon of the Year 2020 poll by The Pokémon Company. It also ranked 1st among all Hoenn Pokémon.
Origin
Rayquaza is based on an East Asian dragon with elements of the Ziz from Abrahamic religion (as both are described as being masters of the sky) and the Aztec wind god Quetzalcoatl, who was often portrayed as a feathered serpent.
Etymology
Rayquaza and Rekkūza come from «ray» (referring to the cosmic radiation it would likely be exposed to in its ozone layer habitat), «quasar» (the most distant celestial objects observed thus far, often theorized to be galaxies emitting high levels of radiation), and possibly «raqiya» (a Hebrew word that literally means «expanse,» but has been used to mean «sky»). They may also be derived from 烈 (retsu, Japanese for «furious»), 空 (kū, «sky», heaven, «air,» or «vacuum» in Japanese), and 座 (za, Japanese for «seat», but also used as a suffix for constellations), thus meaning «one who sits in the furious sky.»

Rayquaza (Japanese: レックウザ Rayquaza) is a dual-type Dragon/Flying Legendary Pokémon.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Rayquaza, but only if it knows the move Dragon Ascent.
Rayquaza is the version mascot of Pokémon Emerald, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between Kyogre and Groudon when Team Magma’s leader Maxie and Team Aqua’s leader Archie awakened them.
Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is a part of the weather trio, serving as its trio master. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it plays an important role during the Delta Episode and is required to be caught there.
Biology
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine dragon. It has red-tipped, rudder-like appendages on its body, one pair behind its shoulders and two quartets below its torso and its waist. Ryquaza’s tail features similar appendages on its tip. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza’s body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.
It is able to soothe the other members of the weather trio. Rayquaza can live for hundreds of millions of years in the ozone layer, where it feeds on water and other particles. Rayquaza is rarely seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor.
As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the Delta symbol appearing on its forehead. Its eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, tree-like 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 tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza’s normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril 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. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.
Inside Rayquaza’s body lies an organ that contains the same power of a Mega Stone. A Devon Corporation scientist named this organ the mikado organ. By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to allow Rayquaza to Mega Evolve.

Trivia
- Rayquaza has many differences from the other members of its trio:
- It is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 680 that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon.
- It is the only member without a Primal form, instead having a Mega Evolution.
- It is the only member not to be directly sought after by a specific crime syndicate.
- It is the only member that cannot learn an OHKO move.
- It is the only member that cannot learn its signature move by level-up, as it can learn it by move tutor.
- It is the only member that didn’t appear in the episodes Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends.
- However, evidence says that it will come if Groudon and Kyogre are battling; in Pokémon Emerald, the player must get Rayquaza to stop the battle of Groudon and Kyogre in Sootopolis manually. This may mean that Rayquaza can only calm the two down but may not know when and where they are fighting.
- Mega Rayquaza has the highest Attack and Special Attack stats and the highest base stat total of all Dragon-type and Flying-type Pokémon.
- Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Dragon-type Pokémon and Flying-type Pokémon.
- Mega Rayquaza is also the tallest Mega Evolved Pokémon.
- Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Legendary Pokémon.
- Mega Rayquaza is the heaviest Flying-type Pokémon.
- In games prior to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Rayquaza has a catch rate of 3.
- Rayquaza’s catch rate was raised to 45 in ORAS, likely due to it being a required capture during the storyline.
- Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be caught at a higher level than the Elite Four’s Pokémon before defeating the Elite Four. This only happens in Pokémon Emerald.
- Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-Generation V Pokémon in the Korean Pokémon Global Link promotion poll.
- Rayquaza was also the most voted on the 15th anniversary poll, which was for the version mascots of the core series Pokémon games, making it Japan’s favorite version mascot.
- Rayquaza is misspelled as «Rayquayza» in Pokémon Team Turbo in every instance.
- Even though Rayquaza uses Dig in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it has no way of learning the move in any Pokémon game.
- Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving that does not require a Mega Stone to do so in the games.
- Rayquaza is also the only trio master capable of Mega Evolution.
- Mega Rayquaza is tied with both of Mewtwo’s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780.
- This makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn’t require a specific held item.
- Rayquaza’s battle theme in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is the only battle theme that can play while the player is capable of walking in the overworld; there is a brief period of time between the cutscene in which Zinnia summons it and the battle itself where the player must approach Rayquaza themselves.
Origin
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of Ziz, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were Behemoth and Leviathan. Rayquaza’s appearance also draws inspiration from other creatures of myth such as the Asian dragon and lindworm. Alternatively, Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, who was depicted as a flying serpent, and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons.
Name origin
Rayquaza most likely refers to Raqiya, the Hebrew word for «firmament». It also may be a combination of ray and quasar. Alternatively, it may be a combination of 烈 retsu (violent or furious), 空 kū (sky), and 座 za (seat or location), which can be taken to mean «one that sits in the ferocious heavens».
Rayquaza’s mikado organ refers to 帝 mikado (emperor), another name for the Emperor of Japan or 天皇 tennō in Japanese, which can be translated as either «heavenly sovereign» or «king of the heaven/sky».
