I was on the worldwide trading system thing, and I put up an Azelf for a Rayquaza. Well when I got the trade the Rayquaza was like black. Is that supposed to happen?
Is that how they look on diamond or is it a kind of virus?

Man, you are so lucky! You got given a shiny Pokemon, and a shiny legendary at that. It's probably a hacked one, but even so, they're super rare! Like 1 in every 8400! So imagine playing your game 8400 times.... Finding rayquaza, and every time except one, it's green. Only once will he be black. (even if it's a hacked one, it's still pretty cool!)
CHerish it, the chances of you seeing another shiny Pokemon at all (without cheating) are probably nil!
Not quite a virus, but good guess. Congratulations you have a shiny Rayquaza. Shiny Pokemon are way more rare than other Pokemon of the same species, in the fact that they look different, in sometimes better ways.
Wow! You are lucky! If it is black it isn't a virus or a mistake made by the creators (like missingno in previous games) it's a shiny pokemon! These Pokemon are 1 in 180972 or somthing like that and they are better because they have higher stats man you are lucky!
Man,did you get lucky! If the Raquayza was black, and it was legit, then you are looking at an honest to goodness shiny Raquayza caught in the wild! I feel sorry for the poor sap who gave that to you. And, no, its not a virus.
Yes; he is a "SHINY" Pokemon, he has a different color that makes him look better
OMG you got a shiny rayquaza!!!!!!!!!! IT IS A SHINY!!!!!! You are so lucky!!!!

It's GTS, but close enough :] Tell me you're not lucky! :O Someone actually traded you the shiny version of Rayquaza! Of course, they might have cheated to get it >_>
Its a shiny version of it all Pokemon have these versions but in different colors. They are the rarest thing in the game(shiny of any Pokemon form I mean)
That means the Rayquaza you got was SHINY. Shiny Pokemon are a rarer version of the normal pokemon. It is not a virus and it has no bonus. It is the same pokemon. Just very rare. The chance of you finding one in the game is 1/8172 or something. And the one you have cannot be hacked because it can be traded through GTS.
The rayquaza is shiny it's no virus shiny are just really really rare you're just lucky very lucky
