How do I catch Rayquaza in Pokémon Sapphire?
I'm trying to catch a level 70 Rayquaza. I have a level 55 Kyogre equipped with Quick Claw.
My gameplan is this so far: use Ice Beam to get the Rayquaza to below 10% health, wait for the Rayquaza to use Rest to put itself to sleep, use Ice Beam again to get it to critical health, and finally chuck Ultra Balls at it repeatedly. However, I have tried this for many repetitions without any success.
What improvements can be made to my method to maximize the probability of successful capture?

Well using this Catch Rate Generator is seems like your best bet would be to use a ultra ball. (Ultra Balls give the best chance of catching him). Put the Rayquaza to sleep or to freeze him and then use a Dusk Ball. This will give you about a 4.3% chance to catch him.
Another strategy that could work is using a timer ball. Timer Balls would give a 9.2% chance of catching him after 40 turns. While this gives a high catch chance you would need to use a lot of items keeping your pokemon alive.
