is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's ''Pokémon'' franchise. Rayquaza first appeared in ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' and subsequent sequels, later appearing in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated, printed, and film adaptations of the franchise. Rayquaza is the version mascot of ''Pokémon Emerald. ''It is also the trio master of the Weather Trio, which contains Kyogre, Groudon, and itself. Rayquaza was created by Ken Sugimori, with the help of his development team. The Sky High Pokémon, Rayquaza is similar to a cryptid atmospheric beast, spending the majority of its time flying above the clouds in the ozone layer, and appears as a meteor to those on the ground. As such, few have seen this legendary Pokémon. Rayquaza has the ability to negate all weather effects with its ability Air Lock. In contrast, Groudon and Kyogre can summon the weather effects sun and rain, respectively. It is one of the most powerful Pokémon in the franchise and has proven a popular character true to the spirit and concept of the games. It is thought that Rayquaza may be the secret to unlocking the secret to Mega Stones and how they work. ==Design and characteristics== As with all the characters introduced in ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'', Rayquaza was designed by Ken Sugimori with the help of a development team. The name "Rayquaza" comes from a combination of the words ''ray'' and ''quasar''. Rayquaza resembles a large serpentine dragon. The design seems to be influenced by Mesoamerican art,〔 especially that of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, the massive feathered green serpent of the skies as well as the god of death and resurrection. Rayquaza is a dual type Dragon and Flying Pokémon. It has an elongated, green serpent body with yellow oval patterns covering its length. Red-tipped fins extend from its body in groups of three, and additional wing- or rudder-like appendages lengthen from a serpent-like head. Sharp, conical teeth line its mouth and some appear to be covered by gum tissue, similar to a Komodo dragon's. It lacks back legs, but has two arms with three white claws. Its tail is tipped with two small red-edged fins. Rayquaza eats water particles from the sky where it lives, and only descends when it wants to rest or if its fellow weather Pokémon, Kyogre and Groudon engage in combat.〔 *〕 From the ground, Rayquaza appears as a meteor in the sky. As it descends rarely, no one knows about its special powers.〔According to the HGSS: It flies in the ozone layer, way up high in the sky. Until recently, no one had ever seen it.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rayquaza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
