To everyone asking...
YES. I accidentally PKHex'd Mega Rayquaza to have the
ideal nature and perfect IVs in the middle of the game.
It was an honest mistake and I have no idea how it happened.
I am not sorry.

It’s such an obscure Pokemon, so there’s no way someone as new to the Pokemon scene as you has even heard of it, much less used it or anything 🙂🙃🙂

Alpharad truly is humble. He didn't even mention the fact that by choosing a Mega evolved pokemon, he wouldn't be able to use any other mega evolutions in battle. This is a SEVERELY impactful strategic loss.

[@asherdevin]

Not to mention, the other starters EVOLVE! Any other starter is like 200% stronger by the end of the game due to evolutions, but Mega Rayquaza doesn't get any such power boost. Such a disadvantage
