Rage Aura is listed as Poké-Body. If you have more Prize cards left than your opponent, ignore all Colorless Energy necessary to use Rayquaza ex's Special Circuit and Sky-high Claws attacks. The attack Special Circuit lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to the Pokémon. If you choose a Pokémon that has any Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies, this attack does 50 damage instead. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Sky-high Claws is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Dragon Frontiers, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragon Frontiers set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rayquaza can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, and All Rayquaza cards. I still need this card.
