The Pokemon company today released a new video revealing the next Mega Evolution we’ll find in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire: Mega Rayquaza.
Rayquaza will learn a new move called Dragon Ascent and when it Mega Evolves it will gain the ability Delta Stream.
According to the video description, Mega Rayquaza will Mega Evolve in a different method than other Mega Pokemon:
A third Legendary Pokémon will appear on your Hoenn adventure! Rayquaza is said to be somehow connected with the mysteries of Mega Evolution. Now its Mega-Evolved appearance has been revealed! The Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza is said to achieve Mega Evolution in a remarkable way—unlike that of other Pokémon—due to its unique biology. What is this unique method? And what is the mystery of Mega Evolution? All will become clear in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire!
The Dragon Ascent move, which Rayquaza alone can use, is a powerful one. It boasts one of the greatest power ratings of all Flying-type moves, putting it at the top of its class. Not only will you be surprised by its overwhelming power—you’ll be mesmerized by its majestic appearance! After soaring up toward the heavens in a great burst of speed, it crashes down in attack, dealing massive damage.
In battle, Mega Rayquaza’s skills are sure to wreak havoc on an opponent’s strategy with its Delta Stream Ability. Powerful moves like Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Sandstorm, and Hail will fail in the face of strong winds whipped up by Mega Rayquaza, whilst Abilities like Drizzle, Drought, Sand Stream, and Snow Warning will not even activate. In addition, moves of a type to which Flying-type Pokémon are usually susceptible will only deal normal damage.
