About this sound

The piercing cry of Rayquaza, the legendary sky dragon from Pokemon, used in videos, edits and streams to signal a powerful, dramatic entrance.

Rayquaza's cry is a high-pitched, screeching roar that rises sharply before falling away, instantly recognisable to Pokemon fans as the voice of the legendary dragon that lives above the clouds. It sounds wild and ancient, part bird-like shriek and part deep, echoing bellow, which makes it feel far larger and more powerful than an ordinary creature call. When it plays over a video, it adds instant drama and scale, turning a simple reveal or entrance into something epic and almost mythical, as if a legendary beast has just arrived on screen.

Pro tip

Drop the cry right on the cut to a reveal, boss fight or shiny Pokemon encounter, then let it ring out before any music returns. Pair it with a zoom or screen shake, but avoid looping it, as its pitch quickly becomes grating on repeat.

More information

Rayquaza is a legendary dragon Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, where players encounter it at the Sky Pillar, and it later became the mascot of Pokemon Emerald. Its distinctive cry has been reused across later Pokemon games, animated appearances and fan-made media, helping it stay familiar to several generations of players. On soundboards and in short videos, creators reuse the short clip as a shorthand for power, rarity and a legendary entrance, which is why it remains popular long after its original games.
