Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Rayquaza is a dragon/flying-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 680 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 95) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Air Lock ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Rayquaza. Build around what Rayquaza actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
