The Pokemon Company Wants You To Pronounce Rayquaza Correctly
The Pokemon Company has been trying to teach fans the correct pronunciation of the legendary Pokemon Rayquaza. Despite its popularity, many fans have been mispronouncing the name as "ray-KWAH-zuh," when the official pronunciation is actually "ray-KWAY-zuh." This was highlighted during the recent Pokemon World Championships 2025, where a "mispronounced Pokemon" graphic was displayed to remind players of the proper way to say Rayquaza's name. While some fans were shocked by the revelation, others refused to adopt the correct pronunciation, as Rayquaza has been a part of the Pokemon franchise for over two decades. However, the anime has consistently used the "ray-KWAY-zuh" pronunciation, which is considered the official way to say the legendary dragon's name. The upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A game may feature Mega Rayquaza, but it's unclear if the game will address the pronunciation issue.
