Apparently there’s gonna be a raid event for shiny Rayquaza. I can definitely see this being impossible (but having a gimmick that allows you to have some kind of hope you don’t fuck it up) like the Mewtwo raids. Plus Mewtwo is just a genuinely more interesting Pokémon to me (I say this btw as someone who is not a genwunner. My favourite generation is Gen 9 because of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves. And Gouging Fire and Iron Boulder. And Quaquaval, Meowscarada, Armarouge and Ceruledge. And Iron Bundle, Iron Jugulis, Iron Moth, Iron Valiant, Miraidon and Iron Crown. Plus gens 6 and 8 are the runners up (followed by gens 3 and 7). It’s rare that I obsess over Gen 1 Pokémon ever since Flareon got overtaken as my favourite Pokémon by Ceruledge and hasn’t returned since despite how many times I’ve had a change in favourite Pokémon since then) so I will go into this with the mentality that I will give up sooner than I did for the Mewtwo raids even though knowing me I’ll get addicted to the effort and continue and then in the unlikely situation I successfully beat it I’ll name it something suggesting it has a superiority complex (I guess suggests because of nominative determinism? Idk I just wasn’t sure how to phrase that)

#I reckon the Tera type will be Dragon #maybe Flying but probably Dragon #I know why they chose this (Pokémon Horizons) but they should’ve chosen a more interesting Legemdary/Mythical #seeing as you can anyway get Rayquaza through Snacksworth’s quest if you have NSO I think they should have gone with Necrozma #also I still think the Proto Beasts and Neo Swords should be allowed to fuse #sure you probably wouldn’t be able to get them from the raid because Wake and Leaves are already exclusive to them #so it kinda ruins the whole “one per save file” thing #(I like to imagine the fusions are alternate forms of Wake and Leaves with similar ideas to Kyurem Necrozma and Calyrex’s fusions #and the fusion items should be those unused rocks. Call them the Scarlet and Violet stones)#rayquaza #shiny pokémon #pokémon #i never understood the hype for Rayquaza or non-shiny-locked Legendaries #I’ll always see shiny-locking as Game Freak saying “this Pokémon is canonically not shiny”#the Walking Wake and Iron Leaves who decided to battle in Tera Raid battles were canonically not shiny #I was going to continue the rant here but then I realised my argument fell apart with the whole “rare in their native timeline” point #like if there are only 10 Iron Leaves in the Future Paradox Pokémon’s home timeline #the chances of that specific Iron Leaves that came to our timeline is 1/10 #whereas if there are shit tonnes of Iron Leaves the chances of that specific Iron Leaves being shiny are the normal 1/8400 #or whatever the odds are now #but my point about that specific Iron Leaves being canonically not shiny still stands
