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.
When I first saw Mega Rayquaza’s Dragon Ascent, I imagined Rayquaza’s like:
“I’m going to end you, I’m going to f**king end you now. I will end your children, you’re children’s children, and your children’s children’s children. I will f**k you up and end you today. Your generation ends here.”
0_0 The savage beauty that is Mega Rayquaza and its new move, Dragon Ascent.
”Omega’s strong praying is received by Rayquaza…”
Mega evolution message when you mega evolve rayquaza, didn’t realize it until I just rewatched it.
Hmm… I wonder what that could mean? 🙂
According to the lore:
“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 official site or whatever.
I wonder if you have to have a strong friendship with Rayquaza to Mega Evolve it?
Maybe just like Shaymin’s requirement of gratitude for it to appear, the player must present their wish toward Rayquaza. Wait a minute, wish? Mega Jirachi wiehtfiuewrbgwrjehg
We Mega Evolve Rayquaza by kneeling and praying to it
Omega is the placeholder for the protagonist name, so this means there’s religious stuff now, they think legendaries are actually gods confirmed?
It’s explicitly stated in the japanese version of the lore Igneous posted below that the hoenn people prayed to Rayquaza as their god.
i wonder what arceus would think of that…
Yeas, but only now (real-world time)? I was referring to how there aren’t any explicit lore about praying to or worshipping Arceus in DPPt…
maybe that’s because the sinnoh people aren’t stupid…
What are you trying to hide, Gamefreak? (rf)
The Lati@s twins Megas.
It could just be a Delta upside down. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Mega Squidquaza cunfurrmed?

Charlie sinnoh confirmed…?
Yes.
Seeing your AVI makes me want to SR for my Event Pumkaboo again. 😀
yes me too 😀
Rayquaza’s battle animations are cool.
I love this Mega. I hope that there’s an epic artwork of it and Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, similar to this: (Refresh for image)
that they are, my friend, that they are…
Especially right before it uses Dragon Ascent.. Dat twirl
isn’t it exactly the same as x/y animation xD Unless you are talking about mega ray xD
Mega raybae
I just realized something: No more 4x weakness to Ice.
HAY-UL YEAS!!!
Boooooooooo, then how you gonna take it out when your on the other end of the battlefield
Fairies.
God damn it
Would you use a Ground/Fairy if it existed, though?
Well, they said it protects the Flying-type Pokemon, so we’re not sure if it for just the typing, or if any Flying-type Pokemon gets all damage nullified. So it could just be just the Flying part, so it may still have 2x weakness to Ice-types.
You hit it until it’s fainted, just like any other Pokemon out there.
Except Ice does only 2x to it now, along with Fairy and Dragon.
wait how
It’s ability makes it so that Flying type weaknesses are nullified. And because Rayquaza has a 4x weakness to Ice, it’s only reduced to 2x and not neutral. Rayquaza’s 2x weakness to Rock is reduced to neutral however, because it was already 2x to begin with.
ah i see that’s nice. what about electricity?
It’s reduced to 1/2 damage. Because it was already neutral to begin with. Dragon type is strong against Electric.
I thought so.
Still, no OHKO Ice Beam. -_-
Which is good, mind you. If its on your side.
Not to mention, it will help it’s Flying type comrades on the battlefield.
Salamence and Charizard will benefit greatly if they are with their god.
or shall i dare say… TALONFLAME????
Am I the only one who sees this when I look at Mega Rayquaza’s mouth?

Just as epic as Giratina, if not, even more epic. 🙂
“even more epic”
not really
Reminds me more of Haxorus
you are def not the only one xD All I see is a green levitating centipede xD
all i see is a tiny mega salamence painted green taped to it’s face.
Reminds me of

i can only imagine what primal/mega/whatever dialga palkia giratina arceus reshiram zekrom kyurem is gonna be like…
I hope Primal/Mega Kyurem is the original Dragon. <3
yes…
I want Revitalized Xerneas and “something” Yveltal
and Resurfaced Zygarde
Reaper Yveltal.
So they can all be R. Including Zygarde, below.
They’re not nearly going to be as good, I’ll tell you that much.
This x10000000
It’s true.
Djja, you just don’t understand. Mega Rayquaza is just…… OMG. SO DAMN GOOD.
They were like:
“Let’s make it look epic”
and then they actually took that seriously and made it look epic.
Nonono. What happened was they said “Let’s put all the effort we can use for DP remakes, but instead use it for mega Rayquaza”.
But Rayquaza isn’t slow
Tru.
I love how Rayquaza’s yellow markings peeled off of it’s body.. It makes it seem so godly and majestic. Also reminds me of a wind chime.
birthday streamers
Truuuuu
It’s a beardddddd
The beard game is strong with this one
well i’m going to go to bed
tomorrow i’m going to play smash until my carpal tunnel is fatal
Good night Earthen! Pleasure chatting with you this evening! 🙂
Ain’t i just a gem
Don’t peel off that circle pad cover. I accidentally did. It was because of Kid Icarus: Uprising.
not me it was because of breeding for me 😛
Never put pennies under the circle pad
the consequences are dire!
i made it through Kid Icarus without a scratch
and i have grizzly bear paws using a normal 3ds not a xl
y’all have some weak ass circle pads
My 3DS is pretty old. So yeah. :
Don’t forget to eat
that reminds me i gotta get a big bag of chips and a 6 pack of cola
(but if my parents see it i’m dead)

i wonder what this guy would do to mega ray if he didn’t buy panda cheese…
I was expecting a Mega Milotic!!! 🙁
Milotic will remember that.
HEY THERE!
Hey yourself. :]
Mega milotic
but were is it??
Sometimes I look at ORAS and I wonder how GF created such amazing games.
Like, they seriously have outdone them self from what I’ve seen so far.
thx gf ily
Honestly Mega Rayquaza Ability doesn’t make sense
I love it!
But how does it nullify Rayquaza weaknesses? with Wind?
Like where is the logic in it?

“All will become clear in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.”
-pokemon official site
cause heavy winds can blow away rocks, webs, put out flames, and turn water into a breeze.
What about Fairy and Dragon?
us fairies and dragons are strong enough to brave the winds.
fairies get blown away by the epicness.
They are not affected.
Somehow.
Sorry the pics took a bit! iPad was being dumb
AHH I didn’t see them yet, my iphone has been going off on the other side of the room but I put it on the charger XD was doing some last min onlinechecking before i hit the haystack
That’s ok! See them tomorrow ^_^ No pokeporn tho :'( They weren’t turned D: So I got them with shocked expressions, except Eww, I got Eww perfectly
As in “Eww that ass is too phat”
LOOOL!!!!! I bet they’re gourgeist either way. Your photography >>>
My roommate got my room smelling like onions again
LMAO!! if you don’t spray her ass with some febreze
It’s honestly starting to piss me off. Who doesn’t take at east one bath a day
Tbh I was expecting a buffed tail wind and increased power of flying type moves. Maybe reflecting hazards back at the opponent?
Didn’t finish EV training today!
1000th comment!
no
I miss EV training
I can’t wait until My MM 30 is complete then I will get to EV train 30 pokemon at once then I will hate EV training XD
Just 11 more pokemon!
Your reaction?:
XY mega’s are exclusive to XY
ORAS mega’s are exclusive to ORAS
Final game contains all of the mega’s.
By Final game you mean Z, don’t you?
Yep!
How about “Megas are exclusive to Gen 6.”
After Gen 6 there will be no more new megas.
NO D:
Aren’t an estimated 70 megas enough… I think there’s a chance they’ll stop making new megas but continue support for existing ones by making the stones available in gen 7.
By why stop Megas?
At least keep it for about 2-3 more regions then they might stop
“Too many” megas already is the only trollfreak troll answer I can come up with… 🙂
rotlmmmfaooooooo!!! this was genuinely funny! but nah i think it’s a mechanic that is here to stay
Gen V stopped Cross Gen Evos.
SYLVEON!
I just corrected myself below.
That aren’t related to Eevee.
Welp
That hasn’t been confirmed.
It kinda has with Megas though. Unless for some reason, GF wants to be funny and give Dunsparce an Evo and not a Mega.
They should. A Dunsparce evolution deserves an actual dex entry & name, and not a mega.
How do you know this for sure?
and Why is Eevee excluded it is still a cross gen evo nontheless
Because it’s Eevee.
:T
Depends on the meaning of “exclusive”.
If it only means you can get the stones in the respective versions then sure.
But if it means that an XY player can’t use ORAS megas and vice versa, then I’ll probably not be happy.
I have a feeling that they’re gonna troll us and do the latter.
They haven’t made no mention of Mawile and it’s mega being omega exclusive so it’s worrying me
Mawile as a counterpart to sableye should have its own page on the official website, like zangoose & seviper
Plot twist:
Delta emerald is the last pokemon game ever
and it has no megas.
And when the end credits finishes it says Mom in a sexy cursive font.
or a sexy mom

MY Questions is, How do they expect us to use only one mega per battle when there are like around 30 megas (hard to choose from) will they make an exception and let us use maybe two in battle???
That is true. But I feel like if you could had as many metas as you want people would just have a team of megas and wreck shut
true, but they should at least let us use two and stop making megas and just focus on new pokemon, unless they are spending the next few games recreating old games and making more megas
The same way they expect us to choose 6 out of 720 pokemon
you are of NO HELP!
They’re basically making the game balanced by making everything busted.
Megas can not stop until every Pokemon has received a Mega
Or until Hoenn remakes r dun
And then Megas will have Primals. :O
I am okay with this
Except Dustox
I am okay with this I am staying a Cascoon forever so it doesn’t matter
they can stop when mega milotic is reveal!! or continue, idkafudge as long as i have my precious mega milotic!!
atleast until every starter :/
If every starter doesn’t get a Mega someday, I’ll sue somebody
I will join
you do realize now with Mega Ray the hoenn total of megas is now 19
Um so?
way too many
A lot of final evos a lot of megs wut can i say
Once Sinnoh remake are announced Sinnoh will be even
And once Unova is announced they will realese like 30 megas
Honestly Unova has the Most potential of Megas
Yep. Excadrill, Maractus, Braviary, Gothitelle, man the list goes on… Unova will def end up with the most.
And
What are youuu gonna do about it?
And? It is ΩRαS afterall
Who gives a f*ck? It’s gonna keep going on until every Hoenn Pokemon has a mega.
Megas will stop when we get a Dark Type Gym…oh wait. >:D
And Poison type legendary (I feel like we are getting close)
We’re so close. So close.
I’m so excited for Smash Bros 4. I’m not positive if I will be getting the game tomorrow, but hopefully I will. 😀
I hope the game isn’t out of stock when I get there
LMAO THATS RIGHT! XD
its being release tomorrow?? for 3ds for the us
For 3DS, yes. 🙂
😀
Mega Rayquaza made me forget about SSB tomorrow, lmao. I need to run to the bank. Swimming in the money.
I don’t care what they do or how they do it, but they better reveal what the Original Dragon was.
Mega rayquaza is the ancestor of all dragons.
gg
Not enough fangs and spikes, m8.
That long flowing beard was acceptable, but not enough to be ancestral.
And they better give us a dragon eeveelution
Mega rayquaza is the dragon eeveelution.
gg
Gene Splicer Z: Combines Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem into the Original Dragon… KYUREM GRAY?
Wait, that sounds lame.
Yes please.
I’d honestly like it to be a new Pokemon and not an alternate forme. We have too many of those.
50 years from now.
Old Man: I remember back when there were only 151.
Kid: 151 new pokemon?
Old Man: NO! 151 Megas!!!
NO! 151 Delta Emeralds!!!
THIS COMMENT LMFAO
Old Man: I remember the day when you’re given Pokémon, not design your own! Now there are over million of downloadable Pokémon that the Pokedex ceased to exist!
This would be my perfect dream come true setlist for pokemon games & mega starters
2013: XY – Mega Kanto Starters
2014: ORAS – Mega Hoenn & Johto Starters
2015: Zygarde Game – Mega Kalos Starters AND 40-60 new Pokemon
2016: Red & Blue 20 Aniv Revisits – Mega Unova Starters
… takes a break until the new handheld arrives…
-First set of games has a whole new gen (short again), with Mega Pokemon from Gen 6.5
-Sinnoh Remakes with Mega Sinnoh Starters
Fck Sinnoh remakes
WHY YALL MAD LMAOO!!! TC!!!
Because Sinnoh was borrringgg I want a new regionnnnn
Replace Sinnoh with the new region.
Hoenn?
Hoenn
BuT tHaT’S NoT A nNEW RegiON
Sinnoh killed my brother ;~;
It made my brother so slow he couldn’t do anything
Replace with gen 7.6 games plz
Exactly.
Give us Platinum Sequels instead.
Because it needs one.
Or two.
One is more than enough
But GF is obsessed with making things version exclusive. 🙁
Then do 0 :<
Hey we think alike 😀
*holds hands and skips in the daisies*
That’s not nice. (refresh)
Hoenn confirmed (?)
Sinnoh remake can wait… until after like Hoenn Hoenn remakes
Woah. We don’t have Spinoffs?!?! Sure there’s that typing game and Treasure Hunting Game, but I’m talking about International Huge Spinoffs!!! Besides Art Academy.
Who iz goin 2 DA midnight release
if we’re talking about oras… then MEEEEEEEE
ME TOO
I was talking bout smash boo
never heard of it
I’m seeing some “Super Smash Bros 4 Double Packs” that contain two copies of the game, which are supposed to be one for you and one for a friend.
That is such an awesome idea, but it probably costs around 80 bucks ;~;
Aw being generous before you guys get angry at each other in Smash
One has to believe that Kanto will revisited on the 3DS. It’s been accessible on every handheld so far, and it’s 20th aniv is coming up.
This is also the first ever time we hit a generation that already had remakes in them!
They should be Kanto sequels.
We’ve been to kanto 4 times already sumthin new plx
Kanto sequels are known as Gold and Silver. Kanto prequels please
Heavenly heart gold serenity soul silver confirmed (?)
Yep. This is why I say revisited because Kanto region may very well come in the form of a new game and not just a remake.
And past history we saw it on:
Gameboy Pocket: Red/Blue/Yellow
Gameboy Color: Gold/Silver/Crystal
Gameboy Advance: FR/LG
DS: HGSS
3DS: ??? 20th aniv??
How many times does the boring Kanto story have to be remade? :I
Hopefully it’s just kanto region with an entire new story. Maybe Steven will have something to do with introducing Mega’s to kanto since he does visit there.
Steven is my favorite champion.
He’s amazing
When a Champion specializes in your favorite type, you already know he/she (he in this case) is amazing.
But steel’s not my fave type ;~;
It is for me. 😛
Who here is leaving PJN November to avoid spoilers???
ME
anyone else?
I am. After I get the demo I’m gonna play it here for a few days with you guys then remving myself from the pokeweb.
Man no PJN from November 1 to November 30th I think I can!!
Don’t miss me too long
Maybe stay until the December Coro Coro Leaks (November 8th), then leave.
No thanks I must go before it comes out
I’ll join you then. I’ll still use Chatango though if anyone needs to PM me.
I might come back earlier if I beat the game faster
I’ll leave the week before the 21st. You know how crafty those leakers are.
You won’t last
Psh
I got this
Good luck with that
I don’t need luck It isn’t that hard
Feed me more Hoenn music
Most of the battle music was shown in that stream lol
Gym leader music?
WHAT TIMES PLEASE SIR
I meant most of the trainer battle music lol. At the 6 hour mark.
Are we sure
I didn’t watch the whole stream so no
At 6:06
That was the main theme fakin skrub
Nope, I can’t. I must be here to spread my idiocy
Nope, not I.
I don’t mind info. XD
