Mega Rayquaza has been confirmed in the ongoing stream for Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire on niconico and in an all-new trailer for the games.
Mega Rayquaza will gain the ability Delta Stream. This Ability protects all Flying Type Pokémon, halving their flying type weaknesses(such as electric, ice, rock). Delta Stream will also cancel the effects of any abilities that introduce weather to the battle, thanks to the new Strong Winds weather condition it introduces. Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Sandstorm, and Hail will fail if Strong Winds is active.
Mega Rayquaza also gains an exclusive new move: Dragon Ascent. The move has one of the highest power ratings of all Flying-type moves. Dragon Ascent is not only powerful, but looks amazing.
Almost all of Rayquaza’s stats receive a boost when the Pokémon Mega Evolves.
I just wanna see shiny mega rayquaza
Same. (I already have one 😉 )
Same. (i do too)
Design-wise . I really like how it’s yellow markings becomes like a whisker. IT literally looks a like a levitating centipede xD
I loved it. Then you compared it to a centipede. Now I can’t unsee. :I
Uh, Scolipede?
I love how Mega Bæquaza is the perfect mixture of badass and gorgeous.
Just as I predicted: New-Mega-That’s-Not-Milotic. The end.
BUT that Dragons Ascent tho! Holy crap!
Our time will come.
I know, but I’m not sad or disappointed! I am more hyped than ever! Mega Milotic would be icing on the Hoenn cake. Eh, more like a decoration, it’s too gorgeous to eat. XD
October 15. Demo.
“New” Mega?
It must be so beautiful and magnificent that they’re saving it for something special to reveal it!
I can’t wait to use this majestic beast.
Check out the lore behind it on serebii and pokebeach. Pretty good, imo
Seems like this is what Get TV was supposed to reveal. Once again undermined by something else. Poor Get TV.
Imo Get TV recaps for those who can’t be there for every announcement.
Well I think this means that we can’t expect much (more) from the upcoming Get TV now.
The Sugimori artwork is missing from the official sites.
Delta Emerald confirmed?
No, but I feel like there’s gotta be some way to incorporate the emerald story into these games….maybe after you beat both OR and AS you can link them and unlock a secret play through (much like the keys and challenge mode in B2W2) where for your next play through you get to fight both evil teams and follow the Emerald storyline? 😮 That would be cool
Well, at least we had X and Y where weather doesn’t rule the competitive scene. So, that’s nice.
Imagine if these new weather effects where permanent
*cringes*
Air Lock/Cloud Nine were “permanent” while the Pokemon is out, though.
So it’s over now?
I wonder if Tailwind will have an updated additional effect that creates the new wind weather effect, but Rayquaza’s ability makes the wind weather effect permanent
Pretty sure tailwind is not a weather condition. It doubles speed for 4 turns.
And I highly doubt they would give it additional effects xD
Rayquaza’s ability only has an effect on the wind whilst its in battle, no?
I won’t be surprised if it’s similar to Air Lock.
It says it is only in effect whilst Rayquaza is in battle.
no charácter customization
I don’t care.
could anybody help me evolve my super awesome pumpkaboo really quick?
Did I add you already previously?

No prob, I evolved my event too.

Two words:
Called it.
This is SIIIIIICK!
LOOOL the inspiration is real
I don’t see the similarities though… help me XD
It’s in the mouth for me
Seems Mega Ray has only 1 mouth and 2 manidibles…
Slifer seems to have 2 mouths and 0 mandibles…
I actually don’t either.
Only noticeable similarity is the lower jaw.
I knew it reminded me of something.
This news is so Rayqua-Qua.
Rayquaza is to evolve in way different from others, I guess this is proof of that, it mega evolves from mega Camerupt!
Picture didn’t load
We just have to refresh. It’s there.
There’s a new elaborate backstory that Serebii posted about the legend and origin of Primal Groudon and Kyogre, it cuts off (intentionally) where Rayquaza makes an appearance. Confirming that Rayquaza stops the fighting? Emerald storyline?
I’m so sad that there’s no Sugimori artwork. Lol.
In due time.
Oh wait, did the X/Y Megas get sugimori artwork?
Yes. They did. 🙂
Yay disqus died. I guess this is my cue to go to sleep. Nighto folks!
So what about Ice Types? Delta Stream didn’t explain 4x weaknesses
Ehh doesn’t matter, everything breaks if you hit it hard enough
If Delta Stream is in play, would that reduce Rayquaza’s weakness to Ice from 4x to 2x, if I’m correct?
Sounds right
Mamoswine’s power will put Mega Rayquaza in its place
Rayquaza sounds like a deadly force to not be played around with. It will make Flying types such as Salamence and Charizard really benefit from it’s ability. Too bad it’ll automatically be likely banned from everything. Lol. It’s so god like, it creates it’s own weather condition, that’s just awesome!
That may be true
But I won’t let that blasted serpent do away with me easily
I’ll combat it the only way I know how
Head on assault!!!!!
Rayquaza will be one deadly force with that new weather condition: Strong Winds. Stealth Rocks will not be much of a problem for some Flying types either I just realized. It’s so godly like. I can’t wait to see more of him in action. And the official Suigmori artwork! Is that too much to ask for? Lol.
I have a shiny Rayquaza…I can’t wait for that to mega evolve
From the official website:
It was a primal age, early in the world’s history… The natural world was overflowing with energy. That energy granted Groudon and Kyogre an overwhelming power. Seeking ever more of that energy for themselves, the two clashed again and again, and their battles cast the people and Pokémon of Hoenn into great danger. Brimming with the overwhelming power granted by the energy of nature, this transformation was named by later people “Primal Reversion.” And the people called their tormentors Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
One Pokémon looked down upon this battle from the sky above. The Pokémon that dances in the heavens: Rayquaza. Rayquaza is venerated by the people of Hoenn as their protector and savior. When Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had battled for 20 dawns and 20 nights, the world began to lose its natural balance and tilt toward destruction. The people, unable to endure any more, cried out to their mighty savior Rayquaza before a great stone that shone with rainbow brilliance. And a change came upon Rayquaza, weaving in the sky above Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Suffused in brilliant light, its body began to transform visibly. And then…
the part that I put in Bold… is it referencing the Strange Souvenir 0_0
http://oi42.tinypic.com/2lc4idw.jpg
But the guy that gives it to you claims that it isn’t from a region we’ve visited previously. Primarily Hoenn and the rest.
Lol. And the tormentors were defeated by a ten year old that threw a ball at it.
Good point. And plus the strange souvenir doesn’t look like rayquaza
