@El_

do you even know what you are saying? Outrage is a nearly unresisted stab move, with just one resist in the entire game. You can't compare v-create and Outrage. So, many Pokemon can set up on V-create. On an Outrage, only steel types can even setup.
Also overheat has another benefit. If rayquaza gets burnt, he can still use overheat, but not v-create.
Rayquaza is too fast for trick room teams, not good enough. Cb sets are pretty much outclassed by Garchomp.

@Arcticwolf10
Nope, not possible, kyogre can easily utilize that speed drop to ko rayquaza. I assume that you are talking about a cb set here.

@Rocky505

Who in his right mind will switch a kyogre against rayquaza?

Rayquaza won because it's powerful, cool-looking, and coveted by trainers. Its base attacking and speed stats are absolutely amazing, even for a legendary pokemon, and it has a very wide movepool. It doesn't have to do as much as the "popularity" of the third generation of games; some pokemon in that generation aren't as popular as some in other generations.

Why did you think Arceus, a fourth generation non-mascot pokemon, got the most votes out of any of the 493 pre-Gen V pokemon for the international Dream World distribution? Arceus is a pokemon that, just like Rayquaza, is very powerful and coveted by players. If Gen III really was the most popular generation of the main series games, then naturally a Gen III pokemon would have won that poll since it was everything goes.

Rayquaza may arguably be the most popular pokemon that has ever been a mascot of a pre-Gen V main series game. It doesn't mean that everything about that entire generation is better than those in other gens.

I would've preferred another Pokemon to get the promotion, but I suppose Rayquaza's fine too. Another user of V-create is fine, because there aren't many users of that move.

Thanks for reading.
