Description: A massive, serpentine Pokémon, Rayquaza resembles a Quetzalcoatl. It is mostly green with thin black, yellow, and red markings. Four fins protrude from behind its skull, framing its face, and it has two, skinny arms. It has sections of armor plating circling various spots down the length of its body and on its tail. As Mega Rayquaza, its fins are more prominent and it's nearly twice as large. It also gains long, glowing orange streamers, as well as glowing, orange orbs in several places along its body. The particles that emanate from its streamers give it the ability to manipulate air density and humidity to alter the weather.

The only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution without the use of an item, Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to ever Mega Evolve. It gained this ability by eating meteoroids as it flew through the stratosphere, charging up its Mikado organ. Rayquaza is also the only Pokémon capable of calming Kyogre and Groudon, even in their Primal states, once the pair have begun to battle. Hundreds of millions of years old, Rayquaza has spent most of its existence far out of sight of people, flying in the ozone layer.
