[edit] Ditto + Rayquaza= lv.5 Rayquaza??

Can you breed a Ditto with a Rayquaza............. to get a level 5 Rayquaza...

Ummm.... no. That'd be pretty unbalanced, giving the user an easy way to get loads of Rayquazas... plus, you've never been able to breed legendaries. Deskana 22:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

This proves that you can breed the Densetsu no Pokemon: http://www.geocities.jp/achamo4204/tamaIRO.gif

It's a non-existant image and Yahoo Japan. How does that prove anything? Sonic Mew | talk to me 14:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

No matter what, there is no possible way to get breed ANY Legendary Pokémon. You get one, and only one. And the GIF looks faked. By the simple fact that it's a GIF. Any image is subject to scrutiny (I could make the very same images in Paint). MasterXiam 23:18, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Plus the fact they're all shiney is kinda... well yeah, stupid. ~regruBgniK

It might also be notable that Rayquaza has higher max overall stats than any other pokemon

That would make people assume that Rayquaza is unbeatable, when it obviously isn't. Double Dash 12:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

You can breed Manaphy, a legendary.Xenero 00:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Manaphy's legendary status is debateable, and besides, the result is a completely different Pokémon, not a Lv5 Manaphy. -サターン・ヨッシー ^{HAPPY HALLOWEEN} 10:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] fact check

Please fact check [1]

The signature attack line doesn't even work...and please specify what you want 'fact-checking' as that link provides no help whatsoever. Double Dash 12:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I made a new section.

This is a topic I made so you can discuss about the section, what do you guys think about the new "Weird but true facts" section? TheBlazikenMaster 22:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

To be honest, I'd be more comfortable if they were sourced. For example, how do you know Rayquaza's Hyper Beam can level a city? Is that shown anywhere? In a game? In the cartoon series? Stated by a canonical guide? Stuff like this should be sourced on Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bhamv (talk • contribs) 08:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

I know Rayquaza is a powerful pokémon, I own one myself. But you're right, that fact can some people think that I mean in one shot. Rayquaza's Hyper Beam is very powerful, but you're probably right, it can't destroy all the houses of the city with just one hyper beam. I think I should change it to something more realistic, whole city is going too far. Building could also be unrealistic, I think I'll remove that fact since it techniclly can't destroy an entire city in one hyper beam. TheBlazikenMaster 18:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, ok, but what about the rest?
Currently, the stuff that the section lists are:
Rayquaza can fly faster than a Jet.
Where does it say that? Which game? Which cartoon episode? etc.
Rayquaza wasn't born in the pokémon world, it's said to be from another planet than the pokémon world.
It's said? Said by who?
Groudon is controlled by the red orb, Kyogre by the blue orb but it isn't known what orb Rayquaza is controlled by.
Is Rayquaza controlled by an orb at all? If he is, where does it say that? Which game?
Rayquaza can fly in outter space without ever being out of air.
Once more, how do we know that? Where does it ever say that?
It is revealed in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon that Rayquaza has never once descended to the ground, even after hundreds of millions of years.
This is more like it, because it states a source.

Basically, if you're adding them into the article and calling them facts, then you need to source them. Otherwise they don't belong on Wikipedia. Bhamv 10:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

It was stated in the pokémon movie "Destiny Deoxys" that Rayquaza was from outter space. I never said it could fly faster than a jet, someone else edited the word "helicopter" into a jet. In the episode "the gaining Groudon" and "Shuffle of Legends" Groudon and Kyogre are controlled by orbs, Rayquaza also has red lines that could be controlled by orb, and I find it pretty interesting it's not known yet. I know he can fly faster than a helicopter because I noticed his speed in the Deoxys movie. Seriously, do you really think my goal is to make vandalism? No, it wasn't, I wouldn't do such a thing, I know it would be fun, but it's stupid to ruin other people's work. I just hope my section isn't vandalism.

Ok, if there's a source for every entry of the section, then they need to be included in the article itself. Otherwise it violates Wikipedia's "Three Pillars" of verifiability, original research and NPOV, and needs to be removed. This is particularly important if you're going to call the section "true facts."

I believe you when you say your intention is not to vandalize, and I do believe you have the article's best interests at heart. But I suspect you don't quite understand the basic principles of Wikipedia, particularly the Three Pillars I mentioned above. Bhamv 05:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I think it's time to remove the section then. I can't prove anything since I'm not a researcher, I'll just remove the section until I can prove these facts, I know they are true, but I must prove they are. So the section is now removed. Well, of course I don't know everything about what is and what is not allowed, I just joined 8 days ago, so I'm new to Wikipedia. But don't worry, I'm doing my best in following the guidelines. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBlazikenMaster (talk • contribs) 09:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC).
