Rayquaza (Japanese: レックウザ Rayquaza) is a Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon. In Pokémon Emerald, it served to end the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre when Team Magma's leader Maxie and Team Aqua's leader Archie awakened them.

Rayquaza has the Ability Air Lock, which blocks all effects of weather conditions on the field when it is in battle.

Physiology

Rayquaza is large, green serpentine creature with rudder-like wings. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and an additional yellow ring in on top of its head. Raquaza has arms with three-fingered hands. Raquaza has long, flat "horns" on its head and two smaller horns below them.

Gender differences

Rayquaza is genderless.
