Breaking news: Giant green dragon god was now found dead on the top of Sky Tower. Witnesses are now saying that a trio of a pink cat, a green grass lizard, and a floating eyeball with magnets appeared front of the tower. More at 11.
One of the witnesses appeared on the scene to talk more about it but the information may be unreliable based on the incorrect pronunciation of the green dragon's name.
@Pikachu Gamer Yeah, but that's the rematch, so it's understandable. But in the original, during the final boss battle, Rayquaza had no Hyper Beam despite the story.
@Pikachu Gamer When I made my original comment, I wasn't trying th refer to difficulty. I was trying to point out that despite the fact that he uses Hyper Beam to destroy the meteor, he didn't have it in the actual fight.
That scene made me really sad, seeing these two little Pokemon kids say they were prepared to die when they set out to ask Rayquaza for help. 😢 I mean it's a kid's game so they were never gonna die but it's a really powerful gesture nonetheless.
I think it’s hilarious that you nearly die (and were going to if not for gengar) because of being near rayquaza when it used hyper beam and then zinnia took it point blank and then some. and just. Got Up. I feel like this woman could get hit with a train and go through it like the final episode of invincible s1
Okay, can we talk about how impressive yet terrifying Rayquaza is as a concept? A Pokemon whose main schtick is blowing up Meteoroids and Asteroids either blasting a beam at them or running it's body THROUGH SIX MILES OF SOLID ROCK WITHOUT A SCRATCH. After doing that, it feasts on the Meteor's remains. Pokemon is weird.
Not only that this Pokémon also prevents Groudon and Kyogre from destroying the world. Considering he faced them in the ancient past like this and they were as Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre that is impressive indeed, truly a strong Pokémon
@@zekromtrainer1222Not only that, but Rayquaza didn't even need it's Mega to beat Primal Groudon and Kyogre, and managed to completely take that power away from them when it did get its Mega.
Can destroy the meteoroid with hyper beam, can destroy deoxys’s physical form with hyper beam, and yet somehow, cannot destroy an already critically injured zinnia with hyper beam. what kind of rare quality does this woman have and can she join my rescue team

@@TheMajesticMrL actually if you were noticing Rayquaza's animations he is using diffrent animations in the Final Boss he goes like how he was in Super Mystery Dungeon when you play as him they wanted to pull a Dark Matter/Bittercold on you with Rayquaza but with actual moves
@@TheMajesticMrLMost 2x2 Pokemon have AOE variants of otherwise single-target moves. Same deal as with the Legendary Birds and Groudon, and if you recruit, say, an Onix or Steelix, you can use it for yourself.
Man all these people saying "wow what a hard boss fight" would be terrified of Dialga. STAB Roar of Time hitting the entire room for hyper beam damage? Intimidator IQ skill preventing you from attacking 30% of the time? Steel/Dragon defensive typing? I usually lost two reviver seeds in just walking up the two steps to him!
Lemme tell you, as the final boss of the main story, Rayquaza DID NOT disappoint. The dude pulls no punches, and my battle with him went down to the wire. Had it not been for me realizing I had a Revive All Orb in my bag and using it at the last second after running out of Reviver Seeds, I probably wouldn't have beaten him on my first try.
I’ll be honest and say I had no idea this was the final boss when I first played the remake since it was my first time playing any mystery dungeon game. Not only did this make the final moments a lot sadder but also incredibly surprising when “staff credits” appeared on screen
Yeah I think that for most of the mystery dungeon ganes the final boss is not something your Journey has been leading up to but something that is in the way of your ultimate goal, and that is something I adore from all the games
Speaking of, when we get a gen 8 rep will we get this remix in Smash? Its long past time for it to be in, let alone Primal Dialga/Bittercold/Dark Matter's themes.
true but Rayquaza was a boss for smash bros brawl and he didn't had his own theme based of the original red and blue rescue team idk why or how they haven't remixed the music till rescue team DX
Even with an overlevelled team, I felt like the Sky Tower was a complete trainwreck. Going easy on the first few floors to fool you that this would be easy despite being the final main dungeon, SURPRISE! MONSTER HOUSES AND WEATHER-CHANGING FLOORS! As if that tortured me enough, out came the full-evos ready to clap my team (primarily Flygon and Salamence. Not scary? Reminder: Earthquake.). Surprisingly enough my 3rd teammate (Magnemite) survived way longer than expected. As if the latter floors were enough to drain you of your equipment, down descends Rayquaza on the top floor ready to consume any Reviver Seeds you have left from your troublesome run. I almost lost it after getting wiped by a Flygon's Earthquake on F31, but never have I been more grateful for the recoil from Hyper Beam during Rayquaza's fight. But let's be honest. Be glad they let your 3rd teammate join for the final battle, cause I definitely would've gotten eternally whupped if not for the Confusion from Magnemite's Signal Beam.
It's like Chunsoft looked at the original Sky Tower, and then over at Dragon's Gate from SMD and went "Let's make Rayquaza as hard as he was in the latter, while making the dungeon just as cancerous and dumb as the original."
I got three monster houses in that place, and learned something: NEVER go to rooms that have too many items. Surprisingly, I survived the three of them using the orbs I had and some seeds and then beated Rayquaza.
i love how they actually still held true to the GBA theme of this! With it being a Switch game i wasn't expecting to hear it so freaking close to the original GBA theme!
I dealt with Rayquaza about 30 minutes ago with me as Charmander, my partner as Eevee and the Absol that saved me from Articuno. And here I thought Moltres gave me a good battle, Rayquaza beat the shit out of me. I needed a second try and about ten Revive Seeds (during both tries) to barely win this fight. And when I wanted to close in for the kill with my strongest attack, boosted by my item, Absol ended it with Quick Attack😂 I've been playing videogames for almost 20 years now, especially Pokemon games (main games, PMD, Ranger), One Piece Pirate Warriors 1 to 3, Dragonball Xenoverse 1 & 2, but this was one of the toughest battles I've ever had - and the toughest one I've ever had in a PMD game! Hats off, Rescue Team DX is an awesome remastered version of Red/Blue Rescue Team! I'd say it might even be better than the original game🤔
I came in prepared, knowing that the battle could be difficult. My main partners were Squirtle (which had Ice beam) and Chikorita with reflect and Ancient Power. My third was a lairon who knew rock tomb and rock slide for the slow down and flinch respectively. I mainly controlled Chikorita in the fight and had her use items and reflect, while the other two unleashed their super effective attacks. A bonus is that Rayquaza got frozen once, got flinched a few times, slowed down a few times from rock tomb and Chikorita gaining the Ancient Power boost twice. All in all, I only used 4 out of 10 reviver seeds. Rayquaza is hard but I personally found Groudon and Moltres harder. Sky Tower on the other hand... I was lucky that the late floor 'mons never used earthquake and the only Monster house I ran into was a real obvious house the moment I came on the floor. Other than those streaks of luck, this dungeon really sapped my supplies
I went into that fight with Psyduck (me), Cubone, and a not fully realized Big Man (Pupitar), but I won because I had soak, and my partner finished him off.
This fight was INTENSE. Even with Mega-Aerodactyl + Fierce Scarf + Linked Ice Fang and Dragon Claw absolutely wrecking the boss in ~6 turns, it says a lot about this theme and the atmosphere that I was still feeling the stress.
@@williamwright4813 rayquaza was a pushover in the original PMD1 it was almost comical that the dungeon is so much harder than the boss, they made the fight harder in DX.
This boss is hell with a team of a Pikachu, a Bulbasaur, and a poochyena even with steamroll i died so many times thanks to all of the japanese players that revived me when i got yeeted down the stairs
Giving it Hyper Beam was fitting yeah, but JESUS it's terrifying to be at the receiving end of a large Pokémon's long range projectile move in a mystery dungeon game...Not to mention the weather constantly pushing you back into the firing range. They definitely gave Rayquaza a well deserved buff here to put it on par with the other final bosses of the series, although Primal Dialga is still harder thanks to Roar of Time being a room-wide move.
Man I loved the originals. Just got this game and can’t wait for a nostalgia trip. My first owned video game! Rayquaza was such a great character in this too, love how they wrote him.
Me: The rematch fight can't be that bad, right? *Rayquaza Mega Evolves.* *Rayquaza used Dragon Ascent!* *Critical Hit!!* *Helios (Charizard) took 219 Damage!* *Oh no! Helios was defeated!* Me: Oh.....they made the rematch even harder.....
Just dealt with the second fight and it's hard to say how many tracks out there slap as hard as this given what's at stake. Will say though, that Petrify Wand -> Agility x3 -> Helper Orb -> All Protect orb -> Empowerment Seed on Sceptile -> All Dodge Orb x3 -> All Power-up Orb -> Spamming Helping Hand (and occasionally pounce wand) meant that Mega Rayquaza went down fast without landing a single blow on any of my team. Side note: Steamroll is a blessing.
I beat this boss with Eevee[[male, nickname Blade, after my Glaceon in the main games, player]], Cubone[[male, nickname Bones, partner]], and Smoochum[[female, nickname Kaede]] and believe it or not Kaede really helped a lot along with Bones[[anyone who uses Cubone as either player or partner should know Cubone can learn Ice Beam, so yes Cubone can learn a move that can be useful in that fight]] and Eevee was a support unit in that battle.
I never played the original Rescue Team games. Explorers of Darkness and Sky were my first Mystery Dungeon games. So, when I played Rescue Team DX and heard that the super boss theme from Explorers was the final boss theme here, I was blown away. Or maybe that was Twister.
So... Rayquaza Round 2 was like this... Chikorita (Lv40) Pikachu (Lv39) Marill (Lv41) Hmm... Rayquaza has Hyper Beam, better counter it, especially in Round 2. -> Chikorita used Light Shield (half damage from special attacks) -> Pikachu used Discharge, 51 damage to Rayquaza -> Marill moved one step forward -> Rayquaza used Dragon Ascent WHAT?! -> Chikorita took 207 damage (A critital hit!) -> Pikachu took 122 damage -> Marill took 152 damage -> Chikorita fainted -> Pikachu fainted -> Marill fainted I got One-Turn-Knock-Out .... and it was satisfying finally facing a tough boss in Mystery Dungeon!
I'm not a big fan of the regular boss theme, it's way too frantic for a thoughtful tactical strategy RPG. But this theme is perfect. You're staring the end of the world down with friendship as your weapon of choice, and this music captures that wonderfully.
Spamming blizzard with Cubone utterly trivializes this battle. Even if bosses recover from status quickly, those turns getting repeatedly frozen really add up.
I wonder how much destructive force it took Rayquaza to destroy the falling star. Because an "apocalypse meteor" has to be at least six miles in diameter to cause a mass extinction...
Man Ice Beam really can't save me from this guy anymore. I remember having both my Mudkip Partner and Absol just spam it for a quarter of his health while I did chip damage
I just finished the game three days ago. I thought I was going to have a hard time with this boss and use up a bunch of my reviver seeds, but I only used one and the rest of the boss fight was anticlimatic for me. Never made it to the boss in the original games though, so I can't really compare the Rayquaza from the original to the remake. Edit: Love the final boss music though. Also going through the dungeon was hard (mostly due to finding a bunch of monster houses), yet I manage to get through it in one try.
I had Mudkip and Pikachu for this one… And a Farfetch'd that had joined me on a mission and I hadn't done anything else with but was really high leveled. 41, to be exact. I spammed Agility and that was a lifesaver. Still burned like four Reviver Seeds but the trek through the first 25 floors was BY FAR the worst of it all. The battle itself was nothing short of amazing, though. Also, I found it a little disappointing that this was the only fight this was used in. Where is it for the other really big ones???
If not for the miraculous Rain Dance, my 3rd water type party member (with Bubble of all moves), and my partner using the blast seed on its final breath, I would never have beaten Rayquaza.
First Battle: Almost had him (faints) really close. First Battle Redux: (Uses Smoochum with Ice Beam finish him after wind separate them) Huh? How did I do that?
From what I can tell here in the comments, although I have never played this masterpiece of a Pokémon spin-off, (which I really should-) Rayquaza seems to be to most people like the sans of this game, I'm not joking here either.
If you’ll ever play it! PLEASE play the originals first! Play Blue rescue team and the explorer series! The 3D mystery dungeon games are nice, but the FEEL and awesome storytelling of the originals are way better. And to me, much more challenging lol.
So I just beat the rematch using Mega Salamence, Mamoswine, Articuno, and some mons I found on the way up (they all got oneshot). BLESS ARCEUS FOR ORBS
When you have to use double team to beat rayquaza because you never found the blizzard TM till postgame :( I was lv33 mudkip and my partner was a cyndaquil. Cyndaquil was the double team abuser :)
Oh man, that'd be awesome. But that means Rayquaza going Mega would be given since he's also a boss on Sky Stairway for the seven treasures/instruments. Oof...
Can't wait for the next remake... whats that? It can't come before gen four remakes? Who cares, its one of the best games out there and has one of the best soundtracks out there.

Man I loved the originals. Just got this game and can’t wait for a nostalgia trip. My first owned video game! Rayquaza was such a great character in this too, love how they wrote him.
magnemite literally on god did 200-250 a piece on rayquaza and wiped him out while me and my partner were trying to get to him
Okay this is pretty lit.
I cried.
"Cast aside all thoughts! Unleash every bit of your power!
With your life at stake... bring it on!"

Me: The rematch fight can't be that bad, right?
*Rayquaza Mega Evolves.*
*Rayquaza used Dragon Ascent!*
*Critical Hit!!*
*Helios (Charizard) took 219 Damage!*
*Oh no! Helios was defeated!*
Me: Oh.....they made the rematch even harder.....
this is scary for someone who can't even beat articuno in a rematch
Trapinch with the steamroll quality was my MVP in this battle.
Guess he Steamrolled in more ways than one.
For some reason when I was a kid whenever a Pokemon used Dragon Dance I would always imagine the Pokemon was dancing to this song
Took me about 25 mins me as mudkip (female, Cordelia) and eevee (Female, Lee) and Absol, (Male, Roxas).
That intense violin at the start of the song... gets me psyched up EVERY time. 😤❤️
You can feel the insane energy coming off that man with the triangle. Like, imagine the saxophone guy got access to a stick and some metal.
I was shocked when it only took me one try to beat rayquaza and it was great with my 7 reviver seeds ( I can't spell if my life depended on me)
Same
I didnt also have reviver seeds so my pikachu had extremely low hp and i beat him on my first try!
For some reason this music gives me nostalgia even though I never played mystery dungeon
Just dealt with the second fight and it's hard to say how many tracks out there slap as hard as this given what's at stake.
Will say though, that Petrify Wand -> Agility x3 -> Helper Orb -> All Protect orb -> Empowerment Seed on Sceptile -> All Dodge Orb x3 -> All Power-up Orb -> Spamming Helping Hand (and occasionally pounce wand) meant that Mega Rayquaza went down fast without landing a single blow on any of my team.
Side note: Steamroll is a blessing.
Love the music
0:31 this instrument that kicks in reminds me of Final Fantasy for some reason... great stuff
I think that’s an organ
I may be wrong though
i love this battle theme simple but cool I'm always a sucker for sky levels or dungeons games
I beat this boss with Eevee[[male, nickname Blade, after my Glaceon in the main games, player]], Cubone[[male, nickname Bones, partner]], and Smoochum[[female, nickname Kaede]] and believe it or not Kaede really helped a lot along with Bones[[anyone who uses Cubone as either player or partner should know Cubone can learn Ice Beam, so yes Cubone can learn a move that can be useful in that fight]] and Eevee was a support unit in that battle.
Now can cubone learn fury swipes? If so I could link it ice beam and nuke rayquaza
I never played the original Rescue Team games. Explorers of Darkness and Sky were my first Mystery Dungeon games. So, when I played Rescue Team DX and heard that the super boss theme from Explorers was the final boss theme here, I was blown away. Or maybe that was Twister.
"The wind sweeps us away!"
I only just now realized this... It looks like Alakazam is trying to eat the berry that's in the ground with it's spoons
Cloyster with Skill Link + Icicle Spear has never been SO MUCH FUN
“Rayquaza used hyper beam!” *Missed* *Missed* *Missed*
D’OH I MISSED
So... Rayquaza Round 2 was like this...
Chikorita (Lv40)
Pikachu (Lv39)
Marill (Lv41)
Hmm... Rayquaza has Hyper Beam, better counter it, especially in Round 2.
-> Chikorita used Light Shield (half damage from special attacks)
-> Pikachu used Discharge, 51 damage to Rayquaza
-> Marill moved one step forward
-> Rayquaza used Dragon Ascent
WHAT?!
-> Chikorita took 207 damage (A critital hit!)
-> Pikachu took 122 damage
-> Marill took 152 damage
-> Chikorita fainted
-> Pikachu fainted
-> Marill fainted
I got One-Turn-Knock-Out .... and it was satisfying finally facing a tough boss in Mystery Dungeon!
Light Screen not Light Shield
Glad that didn't happen to my team.
I'm not a big fan of the regular boss theme, it's way too frantic for a thoughtful tactical strategy RPG. But this theme is perfect. You're staring the end of the world down with friendship as your weapon of choice, and this music captures that wonderfully.
Spamming blizzard with Cubone utterly trivializes this battle. Even if bosses recover from status quickly, those turns getting repeatedly frozen really add up.
The rematch has so much HP, I honestly would’ve lost if I (Mega Charizard X) didn’t get blown right next to him from the strong winds
old but gold
simple but beautiful
(im talking about the music)
I love that this theme is just an updated version of the final boss music instead of a remix
It really didn't need any additions
This theme slaps, you cant change my mind
I forgot about the other armless Foe who Fells
I for one, welcome our Reviver Seed draining Legendary. It's a lot tougher than it was in the original.
The real sky dragon was the friends we made along the way
I wonder how much destructive force it took Rayquaza to destroy the falling star. Because an "apocalypse meteor" has to be at least six miles in diameter to cause a mass extinction...
Man Ice Beam really can't save me from this guy anymore. I remember having both my Mudkip Partner and Absol just spam it for a quarter of his health while I did chip damage
I just finished the game three days ago. I thought I was going to have a hard time with this boss and use up a bunch of my reviver seeds, but I only used one and the rest of the boss fight was anticlimatic for me. Never made it to the boss in the original games though, so I can't really compare the Rayquaza from the original to the remake.
Edit: Love the final boss music though.
Also going through the dungeon was hard (mostly due to finding a bunch of monster houses), yet I manage to get through it in one try.
Awasome music i really love it.❤
Why is there a tiny mario face in the background. WHY IS THERE A TINY MARIO FACE IN THE BACKGROUND?
Glad to see I'm not the only one who sees this.
Looks like a watermark
anybody else notice the mario in the cave near charizard and that spirit thingies?
pov you’re zinnia (you’re about to politely ask rayquaza for help)
DO NOT enter sky tower without an ice type
Me, an Eevee who is a special defense tank: No, I Don't think I will
*Brings along Cyndiquill and Absol*
The first match wasn't bad since, but HOLY FUCKING SHIT that rematch is deadly, I STILL haven't managed to beat him yet 😤
0:31 TING TING TING TING TING
this is the perfect way to ruin the song, luckily someone was able to remove it.
@@runterranger7398 can you give a link, replacing the bells with old version bells would probably sound better
@@ppplant8279 no one replaced them, but someone did removed it if you want that.

Managed to get a Cloyster with Skill Link right before this fight. Yeah... it was over in 3 turns
This theme slaps change my mind
Slaps does not accurately describe the level of sheer power contained within these notes.
Idk if it's just the way these tracks are ripped, but the triangle is just too much. My head hurts from listening to a few seconds of it
I still can't defeat him in the rematch.
Holy fuck it has hiper beam dragon ascent and a lot of health
WTF There is a Mario Bros head at bottom left quarter during all the video...
Every time you use hyper beam as rayquaza it looks like Kamehameha very beautiful.
I had Mudkip and Pikachu for this one… And a Farfetch'd that had joined me on a mission and I hadn't done anything else with but was really high leveled. 41, to be exact. I spammed Agility and that was a lifesaver. Still burned like four Reviver Seeds but the trek through the first 25 floors was BY FAR the worst of it all. The battle itself was nothing short of amazing, though.
Also, I found it a little disappointing that this was the only fight this was used in. Where is it for the other really big ones???
Well this theme is called Battle against Rayquaza
If not for the miraculous Rain Dance, my 3rd water type party member (with Bubble of all moves), and my partner using the blast seed on its final breath, I would never have beaten Rayquaza.
Uuuh Rayquaza has Air Lock which nullify weather effects including powering up moves.
At the start of the gam I was like "9 steps? That's a lot, what the hell is that dungeone?!" And then... this dungeon...
When I fought rayquaza they missed every hyper beam
Part of it sounds like the Run Away, Fugitives theme
i make my own pa- oh wrong game
First Battle: Almost had him (faints) really close.
First Battle Redux: (Uses Smoochum with Ice Beam finish him after wind separate them) Huh? How did I do that?
Watch out for Dragon Assent!
Ahhh yes, the theme of me spamming discharge
Ahhh yes, the theme of me using ditto.
Ah yes the theme of me beating rayquaza for the first time.
@@mudkip4101 bro did u know ditto is only lvl 25?
@@mudkip4101 and you can find ditto in buried relic to
From what I can tell here in the comments, although I have never played this masterpiece of a Pokémon spin-off, (which I really should-) Rayquaza seems to be to most people like the sans of this game, I'm not joking here either.
If you’ll ever play it! PLEASE play the originals first! Play Blue rescue team and the explorer series! The 3D mystery dungeon games are nice, but the FEEL and awesome storytelling of the originals are way better. And to me, much more challenging lol.
So I just beat the rematch using Mega Salamence, Mamoswine, Articuno, and some mons I found on the way up (they all got oneshot). BLESS ARCEUS FOR ORBS
I associate this theme with the legendaries of EOS to be honest
It looks funny when Rayquazas Hyper Beam misses
When you have to use double team to beat rayquaza because you never found the blizzard TM till postgame :(
I was lv33 mudkip and my partner was a cyndaquil.
Cyndaquil was the double team abuser :)
Hey, at least Cyndaquil never got hit right?
Just as long as my Manectric was in good health and lots of elixers i just spammed Discharge and charge, beat sky tower and him in one try.
There's a square mario there
*Bonemerang and Dig spam somehow worked…*
So now that we have this, they *gotta* do gen 4 remakes and an explorers of sky remake at around the same time period, right?
Oh man, that'd be awesome. But that means Rayquaza going Mega would be given since he's also a boss on Sky Stairway for the seven treasures/instruments. Oof...
Can't wait for the next remake... whats that? It can't come before gen four remakes? Who cares, its one of the best games out there and has one of the best soundtracks out there.
This thme is different than the boss themes that came before it. Wait what do you mean it was the first game in the series
So underrated compared to it's Explorers series counterpart.
