Strategy Overview
Rayquaza is one of the most devastating wallbreakers in Ubers, sporting huge offenses and high Base Power moves. Its potential to run Choice Band, a mixed set, or even a boosting set makes it nigh impossible to safely switch into without risking the loss of a Pokemon. Access to Extreme Speed further limits offensive counterplay. Sadly, Rayquaza suffers from four-moveslot syndrome when choosing coverage. Its subpar defensive typing leaves it weak to Stealth Rock and makes it hard to switch in, as any chip damage it takes racks up rather quickly. Rayquaza is also susceptible to common revenge killers such as Calyrex-S, Eternatus, and Marshadow.
