• Rayquaza has a niche as a suicide lead over other Pokemon like Glimmora thanks to its base 150 Attack and Special Attack stats. This allows it to beat other common leads like the aforementioned Glimmora, as Draco Meteor ignores Toxic Debris, and Ribombee while also threatening other Pokemon, mainly physically bulky Pokemon like Landorus-T that are annoying to its teammates.
• Unfortunately for Rayquaza, the prevalence of Taunt Arceus hinders its ability to consistently lay down entry hazards. Furthermore, Scale Shot Koraidon is very common and is an effective anti-lead that beats Rayquaza. Other Pokemon like Zacian-C also take advantage of Rayquaza not being able to hit it with a super effective move and heavily threaten the opposing team. Lastly, Calm Mind variants of Arceus are bulky enough to utilize Rayquaza as setup fodder and freely boost themselves without much threat.
• Draco Meteor with maximum Special Attack investment allows Rayquaza to lure in and 2HKO common physical walls, such as Landorus-T, Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Groudon.
• Tera Fairy allows Rayquaza to be immune to Dragon-type attacks, with the most notable example being Scale Shot from Koraidon; this gives Rayquaza an opportunity to deal huge damage on Koraidon without sacrificing HP or abilities on important teammates like Zacian-C's Intrepid Sword. However, it's not entirely advised to Terastallize immediately, as it must be saved as an emergency option only.
• Rayquaza is a suicide lead that must prioritize setting entry hazards while dealing damage if the situation presents it. Other common hyper offense leads, like Ribombee and Glimmora, lose the one-on-one against Rayquaza, which means that only dedicated teams with Pokemon like Taunt Arceus and dual screens Grimmsnarl can beat and annoy Rayquaza.
• Rayquaza fits best on hyper offense teams with teammates that appreciate Stealth Rock being set and physically bulky Pokemon being heavily damaged. As a result, Koraidon, Zacian-C, and physical Arceus formes are good teammates. Zacian-C in particular helps Rayquaza against Scale Shot Koraidon, one Pokemon that can outright OHKO Rayquaza even through Focus Sash. Flutter Mane is another Fairy-type Pokemon that can help with Scale Shot Koraidon while also dealing with the Taunt Arceus formes that annoy Rayquaza and its team. Rayquaza cannot prevent Pokemon like Ribombee and Glimmora from getting their own entry hazards up; therefore, Pokemon that can remove them, like Great Tusk and Iron Treads, are good partners.

• Rayquaza gained access to Stealth Rock in Generation 9, making it an effective user of the move with a niche over other Pokemon like Glimmora thanks to its 150/150 offenses. can't put emphasis on the generation so the point needs to be re-written to just talk about what Rayquaza does: great offenses for a lead, beats Bee, beats Glimm, threatens the likes of Landorus-T. This allows Rayquaza to be a good lead that beats other common leads like the aforementioned Glimmora, as Draco Meteor ignores Toxic Debris, and Ribombee, while also threatening other Pokemon that are annoying to its teammates.
• Unfortunately for Rayquaza, the prevalence of Taunt Arceus hinders its ability to consistently lay down hazards. Koraidon also gained access to Scale Shot with the Teal Mask DLC, same point as above making it an effective anti-lead that beats Rayquaza. Other Pokemon like Zacian-C also take advantage of Rayquaza not being able to hit it with a super-effective move to heavily threaten its team.
• Draco Meteor with maximum Special Attack investment allows Rayquaza to lure and 2HKO common physical walls, such as Landorus-T, Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Groudon.

However, it's not entirely advised to Terastalize Rayquaza, and thus must be saved as an emergency option only.
• Rayquaza is a suicide lead that must priority prioritize? entry hazards to be up on the field, whilst dealing damage if the situation presents it. Other common HO leads, like Ribombee and Glimmora, lose the one-on-one against Rayquaza, which means that only dedicated teams with Pokemon like Taunt Arceus or Screens Grimmsnarl can beat and annoy Rayquaza.
• Rayquaza fits best on HO teams with teammates that appreciate the Stealth Rock provided and physical bulky Pokemon being heavily damaged (typo). As such, Koraidon, Zacian-C, and physical Arceus forms, are good teammates. Zacian-C in particular helps Rayquaza against Scale Shot Koraidon, one Pokemon that can outright OHKO Rayquaza even through Focus Sash. Flutter Mane is another Fairy-type Pokemon that can help with Scale Shot Koraidon while also dealing with the Taunt Arceus forms that annoy Rayquaza and its team.

I'd mention that cm arcs annoy you on lead as well, and also focus on the fact that Ray cannot prevent hazards from opposing leads and only get up its own, so other counterplay to stuff like Webs is suggested.
