Rayquaza Encounter


Recommended Posts

I just witnessed one of my friends encounter Rayquaza at Skypillar and she tried catching it with the Master Ball but for whatever reason she couldn't use the Master Ball. What's the point of the Master Ball if no one can use it? She should have been able to catch Rayquaza.

Hello, 

 

She couldn't use a Master Ball because it would be a waste since players can't keep Rayquaza and other legendaries permanently in this game.

 

The player that caught the legendary pokemon will be forced to accept all duel requests from other players. The ownership of the legendary will be transferred to the winner. The cycle continues until the legendary pokemon grows tired of its owner (or owner disconnects/logout).

 

Have a nice day,

That is seriously a dumb mechanic in the game. That mechanic should be removed from the game honestly. If someone catches a Legendary it SHOULD be THEIRS to keep and you should NOT have to be challenged for it. That makes absolutely no sense at all.

Does it make sense that there's a million rayquaza flying around the world?

Yes. There’s always been multiple legendaries. Like multiple Cosmog and Ultra Beasts.

I mean sure, if you treat each instance of the cartridge games as its own universe it makes total sense. In a singular world it really doesn't make sense to have a million so called legendaries roaming around if canon has confirmed that only one exists.

That's not the issue, the point is that the reason they're considered 'legendary' is because they're rare.

There are multiples of many legendaries - or even many legendaries as a whole, but you don't see every trainer with one.

^this

 

And AFAIK the team's working on a way for legendary Pokemon implemented in the future to be permanently obtainable while still preserving their rarity and relative difficulty to obtain.

 

Quick question though @Darkshade, if you're allowed to disclose this information: will legendaries be breedable? Or at least have a mechanic to make the non-ubers competitively viable in terms of IVs and nature?

Normally, I’d say “good point” to that and leave it at that. But here’s the thing, there’s over 52 legendaries in existence to where the whole “legendary” status has kinda lost its meaning. A Pokemon being “legendary” now is much less significant as opposed to how it was back when it was just the 3 birds, Mewtwo, and Mew.

Point being, if we saw people running around with Rayquaza(s) or Mewtwo(s), sure it would be odd at first, but eventually we’d be accustomed to it.

Though keep in mind, this is MMO. It’s not as singular of a world as the vanilla games. Since you can see people take on the same bosses that you are about to take on, or see other people get the same Pokémon you’d normally be able to get only ONCE(ex: Beldum in R/S/E). So seeing multiple legendaries, especially the smaller ones like Latios and Zapdos, wouldn’t be that big of a deal.

The real question is will this feature be released by the end of 2019, or will we have to wait till...say, 2025?
