Rayquaza is a Legendary Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise, having first appeared in the video game Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Representing the sky, Rayquaza acts as a counter balance to Kyogre and Groudon, who represent the sea and land respectively, and is said to intervene should the two battle. Rayuaza's signature move is Dragon Ascent.
Because Rayquaza resembles a meteor when it flies and because habitat is in the Earth's ozone layer, it was for a long time regarded as a mere myth. Far removed from any type of organism, Rayquaza's diet exsists out of water and particles in the air and meteors that enter the Earth's in the atmosphere. Because of it regularly consumes meteors, Rayquaza is the only Pokémon that posses the energy needed to Mega Evolve without being subjected to the energy of a Mega Stone.
As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure. Particles stream from these tendrils which can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather.

Expert's Opinion[]
While Yveltal's moves prove to be hard, Rayquaza was able to dodge its attacks due to its body style, and if that wasn't enough, Rayquaza was able to took on two Legendary Pokemon on its own.

Battle vs. Malefor (by Red243)[]
Malefor has standing sill in his lair, thinking of his new plan to destroy the world. However, there was a roar outside his lair that was so loud that even the Dark Master could sill hear it inside his lair. Malefor doesn't know what roar was coming from, but if that someone was an enemy to him, he would had to confronted that enemy. Malefor began to flapped his wings and flew out of his lair, but he had never saw someone yet.
However, Malefor spotted a green serpent-like dragon that circled around him in the air before getting closer to the Dark Master to confront him. Then the Dark Master realized that this was the same dragon that he heard from the legend back when he was young dragon. The dragon also looked at Malefor, knowing he was an enemy to it.
"So, you must be Rayquaza that I heard about back when I was a young dragon," Malefor recalled.
"Even I am known on a different world other than my own," Rayquaza said.
"Well, I will offer you to join me, so that we could destroy the world together," Malefor offered.
"Fool, I will neither join you non helping you destroy the world!" Rayquaza roared as he tried to fired to blue pulse on Malefor, but he dodged its attack. Realizing that Rayquaza has refused his offer, Malefor tried to change his surroundings in hopes of giving him the advantage against his foe. But the surroundings didn't changed, even with Malefor's powers. However, Malefor figured out that Rayquaza must had some power that prevents him from changing his surroundings to his advantage.
"You may had prevent me from changing my surroundings, but you sill can't defeat me," Malefor warned as he tries to fired a lightning breath at Rayquaza from his mouth . However, Rayquaza used a protect barrier to defend itself from Malefor's breath attack. Malefor has to think of away to defeat his enemy, but he had got an idea.
He flew towards the ground, and Rayquaza began to follow Malefor, trying to attack him with Dragon Pulse, but he dodge the attack. As they went down closer to the ground, Rayquaza flew faster and tackled Malefor with force, knocking him into the ground. Although Malefor was injured, he had survived his fall and Rayquaza had landed on the ground as well.
"Did you really think you can actually defeat a powerful Legendary Pokemon such as myself?" Rayquaza asked as Malefor was getting himself up on his feet.
"Why are you asking me this question when you realized that you will lose no matter what you do," Malefor replied as he began to fired four rock-like missiles at Rayquaza. Trying to defend itself again, Rayquaza used the protect barrier to prevent the attack from hitting it. But with the protect barrier disappearing, Malefor finally has the chance to fight back.
He flew closer to Rayquaza, and fired an ice breath from his mouth at his foe, causing it to be frozen as a result. Then he unleash his fire breath at Rayquaza, melting its icy prison. But once Rayquaza was unfrozen, he began to fall down from taking too much damage from Malefor's ice breath.
"It appears that Rayquaza was not enjoying his icy prison very well," Malefor said as he was looking at his fallen enemy. Then he roared in victory before flewing back to his evil lair.
Expert's Opinion[]
While Rayquaza was powerful, Malefor has training back when he was not evil, and has been far smarter than Rayquaza. In addition to this, Rayquaza was weak against ice, one of the elements that Malefor learned in the past. This could caused Rayquaza to be defeated.
