How does rayquaza fly

As your approach Rayquaza on the roof of the Sky Pillar, he will wake up and fly off. Then use Sing, or any other move that puts Pokemon to sleep. If you white out, run out of Poke Balls, or accidentally faint it, turn the game off since you saved it, then fight it again.

Not sure if it means "always up there and can't come down" or "doped on drugs", though. Whenever i think of things like this, I just say magic. Jetx hooray, it's Jetx! I'd just say it pushes itself into the sky and just never stops gliding. Rayquaza isnt a pokemon its one of those chinese dragon kites! Aviano I dropped my balls. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline.

It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw. As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features.

Rayquaza's eyes now contain yellow pupils and red irises, and black, shichishito -shaped markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape.

At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike.

Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer.

Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality. Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same power as a Mega Stone. By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the mikado organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.

Rayquaza is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the ozone layer , where it feeds on water and other particles.

Rayquaza is rarely seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. Rayquaza preys on the Minior in the Alola region. Rayquaza debuted in Destiny Deoxys. In Malice In Wonderland! Whenever Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza. It used Hyper Beam on the rocket ship Ash , his friends , and Team Rocket were on, presumably in order to protect its territory from them. Eventually, the battle ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a Prison Bottle , and Rayquaza departed for its home.

In Living on the Cutting Edge! The battle accidentally caused one of the meteors to head towards Alola , though it was ultimately cut up by a Kartana , saving the region from harm.

It later battled a wild Deoxys that appeared from inside the Meteor, allowing its Trainer to catch it. Rayquaza plays a major role in the manga adaptation of Destiny Deoxys.

Five years earlier, Ruby 's victory over a Salamence was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence rampaged in a lab, accidentally letting Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

Having been ordered to recapture Rayquaza in the five years he was prohibited from attaining a Gym Leader position, Norman attended the Mossdeep Space Center and scrutinized its tracks, finally discovering that it slumbered atop the Sky Pillar when it wasn't scouring beyond Earth's atmosphere. With Wally's help, he was able to awaken and take command of Rayquaza, using it to calm Groudon and Kyogre in conjunction with Ruby's Red and Blue Orbs.

When Norman fell under the strain of controlling Rayquaza without a proper medium, it escaped once again. It first appeared in Rayquaza Redemption I. Rayquaza appears in The Subspace Emissary mode as a boss. After Diddy Kong lands in The Lake , Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, Fox ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with Dragon Pulse , but Fox reflects its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water.

Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong. Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in The Great Maze , and can be fought in the Boss Battles mode after the latter is unlocked. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when Groudon and Kyogre began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability Air Lock , which blocks all weather-condition effects.

It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it. This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.

Rayquaza's design is probably based on the Chinese dragon and the Lindworm. Its role is similar to that of Ziz in Hebrew legends. Rayquaza matches the description of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl , who was depicted as a flying serpent and created the boundary between the earth including the oceans and the sky.

The markings on Rayquaza's body may be inspired from The Nazca Lines. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons, specifically Japanese dragons, who are commonly depicted with three claws, as opposed to four in Chinese dragons. Rayquaza most likely refers to Raqiya , the Hebrew word for "firmament".

It also may be a combination of ray and quasar. Also, one of the names of Xiuhcoatl or Quetzalcoatl in Spanish is "La Serpiente turquesa", which could be next transformed into "La-quesa" and next "Rayquaza".
