best moves on rayquaza

[The Blue Avenger]

Besides, D-Claw isn't a very powerful move, anyway.

Just as an aside, with Rayquaza's STAB, the power of Dragon Claw is boosted to 120, past even Earthquake. Also, if I'm interpreting you correctly, you're saying that Dragon Claw would benefit from Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw is special, so it would not. Either way, I'd personally sub it in over Ice Beam - it doesn't exactly have a good set of advantages, but the only thing resistant to it is Steel. I'd replace Ice Beam because Ice Beam's advantage over Dragon is covered by D.Claw, Grass is covered by Flamethrower, the advantage over Flying is covered by the fact that every flyer has another type and Rayquaza's other attacks can handle a lot of them, leaving only Ground... and that shouldn't be that big of a deal.

But that's just me.

Duh, I'm an idiot. Mentioned STABbed Ice Beams while forgetting that Rayquaza gets a similar bonus from Dragon moves. Stupid me. Thanks for adding your input to cover up my deficiencies, H Man. ^_^

In any event, there are a number of things you could do with Rayquaza. I like to cover many different types, while some prefer to specialize in particular strategies. Lots of movesets will work, especially considering Rayquaza's natural strength. Since it's banned in most tournaments, and many casual battlers consider legendaries fairly cheap, you may as well just use it however you prefer for in-game play.
