Strategy & play
How Rayquaza δ plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Lightning Storm) needs 4 Energy — a turn-4 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Lightning / Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Lightning / Metal type, weak to Colorless ×2 — a Colorless attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Rayquaza δ
- Exploit its Colorless weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
