What is a good moveset for Rayquaza?

6 votes

Mine knows:

Earthquake: Must I say why?
Dragon Claw: Good power, high accuracy, STAB, deals with Dragon types, like it better than Outrage.
Overheat: Being the only special attack move means the recoil won't greatly cripple Rayquaza. High power, decent accuracy, deals with Ice, Bug, and Steel types.
Extremspeed: Priority, good power, high accuracy.

I can honestly say, that this is EXACTLY the moveset I'd put on Rayquaza.

It's got devastating STAB, earthquake for Steels, powerful priority, and Overheat for a powerful fire attack to deal with Ice-types, and Steel-types with Levitate/Magnet Rise (Here's lookin' at you two, Magnezone and Bronzong!).

Like you said, the fact that it's your only Special attack makes the recoil pretty minimal, and is probably only going to be used in a pinch.

There are no recommendations I can give. It's perfect!

Rayquaza @ Choice Band/Choice scarf

Trait: Air Lock
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)/Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Stone Edge
- Fly
- Earthquake

Rayquaza is already really fast so time for the good part. Choice band is mainly for outrage however other moves can work. However if you want extra speed go with choice scarf and if your going scarfed use adamant.

Rayquaza @ Choice Scarf

description

Trait: Air Lock

EVs: 196 Atk / 196 SAtk / 116 Spd

Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)

  • Thunderbolt
  • Outrage
  • Surf
  • Earthquake

My ubers lead, and I love 'em.

He clears out Kyogre's weather, then outspeeds the modest scarf set by 1 speed point. Hits hard with Thunderbolt.

He later can clear out threats like Adamant Zekrom ( Still outspeeding by 1 point ^^ ) Modest Reshiram ( Same boat! ), or Dialga with Modest.

The only dragons that I have to worry about are Palkia or a faster Rayquaza.

Anyway, he outspeeds those threats to nail with STAB Outrage.
Surf is for groudon leads. ( Once again, no sun is out due to Air lock )

While Earthquake is for general coverage. Takes out the seemingly rare Arceus-Electric, the ever so common Dialga, and let's me hit that troll Ferrothorn for some neutral damage.

It's easily replaceable with a Fire move. Heck, I'll probably run this with V-create when it's released :D ( V-create > Earthquake that is. Keep in mind that Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Overheat are all still great choices for that slot. )
