I'm pretty sure Mega Rayquaza will still take up your Mega slot, it will just be able to hold other items.Or the item it needs may be the jade orb? Nonetheless, not taking a mega slot is really kickass.
Well, that depends. Do you like having a Kyogre who can remove Primal Groudon's weather? Then use Primal Kyogre.Also lol primal ogre rip IMO specs/scarf still king.
I have never seen anything so asinine in any game ever. GF why
it doesn't 2ohko you have life orb added+2 252+ Atk Life Orb Mega Rayquaza Brave Bird vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Multiscale Lugia: 214-252 (51.5 - 60.7%) -- 94.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Adamant SD sets can 2HKO through Multiscale after 1 boost. I know Ray is my favorite Pokemon and all, but if this turns out to be a no-strings attached item holding fest, I have never seen anything so asinine in any game ever. GF why
it can hold LO + factor out multiscaleit doesn't 2ohko you have life orb added

There have been some photos of the game that have been leaked that show Rayquaza not needing a Mega Stone in order to utilize Mega Evolution, so we are thereby assuming that we can use any item in addition to Mega Evolution.it doesn't 2ohko you have life orb added

Is your damage calculator screwed up or something because:

na I forgot to put back the flying type when doing offensive calcs :/
We should know for certain in a day so we'll see.Is it confirmed that the items actually work when it's mega evolved? It might be that it can hold items but only gets their effects when in its normal form. *prays to Arceus*
I doubt it. That would defeat the whole purpose of not needing a Mega stone. If GF didn't want other items working on it then they could've just made it so it does have to hold the stone in the first place.Is it confirmed that the items actually work when it's mega evolved?

Proposing new rules for Ubers as to keep it competitive:
Not necessarily. If you wanted to not mega evolve it for some reason (normal Rayquaza's ability is better at answering primal weathers because it can't be overwritten, for instance), it gives you an alternative.I doubt it.
