what happend when you traded rayquaza on omega ruby early game

If you traded Rayquaza early in Omega Ruby , the main thing is that it could be traded normally, but some special move situations caused problems later. In particular, Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent was tied to restrictions in older games, so trading it could fail or become unusable for certain transfers.

What usually happened

  • If Rayquaza was just a regular one, the trade worked like any other Pokémon trade.
  • If it knew Dragon Ascent , that move created compatibility issues with some games and trade paths.
  • People online often confused this with the Delta Episode timing, because Rayquaza’s special treatment in ORAS made the whole thing feel unusual.

Early-game angle

Early in the game, you generally wouldn’t have a normal, easy path to use Rayquaza’s special form stuff right away , since the story progression matters for how it is obtained and handled. The shiny event Rayquaza was also distributed separately through Mystery Gift, not just caught immediately in regular play.

Practical takeaway

  • Trade itself: usually allowed.
  • Special move / form issues: could block certain transfers or create confusion.
  • Best rule: if Rayquaza has a special move tied to its ORAS treatment, expect restrictions.

In short: trading Rayquaza early wasn’t the weird part; the weird part was the Dragon Ascent / special-form compatibility around it.

TL;DR: early-game Rayquaza trades were mostly normal, but Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent could run into transfer restrictions.
