Mega Rayquaza Confirmed for Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

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.

  1. I want to be at the midnight release so badly…why couldn’t our day off be on the 3rd instead of the 13th? ;_; I misheard my French teacher and thought she said 3, so I freaked out for no reason…

  2. Mega Rayquaza is life. Mega Rayquaza is god. This morning, when I first saw it, I admit I said “What the hell Game Freak?” and thought it was ugly. But after staring at pictures for hours and getting used to it, I really like it. It’s ability is great. Sorta reminds me of Xerneas/Yvelta’s abilities because they help a type like Rayquaza’s but it’s also like Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre’s too in that it overrides weather! I can’t wait to find out it’s story on why it wasn’t a Primal Reversion! 🙂

  3. Did anyone talk about that lady on the NicoNico stream who has a Mega Ring with a Froslass doll? She was even wearing a Froslass outfit. Hint hint?

  4. @Chicolombia Go Knights!
    And why does ORAS have to be so good? If our GS doesn’t have a midnight release because it’s on a Thursday, I’mm die.

  5. Regular Rayquaza alone already has these stats:

    HP: 105
    Attack: 150
    Defense: 90
    Special Attack: 150
    Special Defense: 90
    Speed: 95

    With Mega Evolution, I think it will get these stat boosts:

    HP: 105 (+0)
    Attack 170 (+20)
    Defense: 110 (+20)
    Special Attack: 170 (+20)
    Special Defense: 110 (+20)
    Speed: 105 (+20)

    It’ll be like Black and White Kyurem combined.

      • yes, anything along that line. i love when there’s two sides, battling it out, and all of a sudden a hidden third team comes and crushes them all. that goes for anything.

  7. What if Mega/Primal/Temporal/(whatever they name it) Dialga receives an ability which distorts time and causes opponent pokemon to move slower than it? O.O

  9. This is what I had posted in YT yesterday on one of TyanitarTube’s videos:

    “On a more related note, it seems to me that Rayquaza will get both, since it has existed when Kyorge and Groudon were fighting, but what if it isn’t strong enough to take on Primal Kyogre and Groudon in its own Primal form anymore and must acquire an upgrade and adapt to beating Primal Kyogre and Groudon?

    I’m on the fence for either one or both a Primal Reversion and Mega Evolution”

  10. Scumbag Mega Rayquaza. Called by humans to stop the raging weather caused by Primal Groudon and Kyogre but summons his own weather instead.
