2. Offensive Power: Use your strong attackers with moves like Outrage, Earthquake, or Thunder to deal substantial damage.
3. Healing: Keep your team healthy with healing moves. Consider using a Pokémon with the "Natural Cure" ability to automatically heal after each turn.
4. Avoid Dragon Ascent: If Rayquaza uses Dragon Ascent, try to flee or switch out to avoid taking massive damage.
