How to Evolve
Breeding
USUM Kyogre Best Moveset
Primal Kyogre activates AbilityPrimordial Sea creating heavy rain that blocks Fire moves entirely while boosting Water TermStab from 180 Sp. Atk. Even base Kyogre at 150 Sp. Atk with AbilityDrizzle setting rain devastates with Water TermStab. MoveOrigin Pulse at 110 power in rain hits at nearly unresisted power. The moveset holds S-tier as the strongest Water attacker in the format by an enormous margin.
Best Build
Kyogre best EVs are Sp. Atk and Speed
Special Revenge Killer Moveset
- Ice Beam
- Thunder
- Water Spout
- Origin Pulse
Moves List
TMs carry this one. Kyogre learns Water Spout and Origin Pulse naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Rock and Normal and beyond give it real matchup play.

Kyogre Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Kyogre is a Legendary Pokemon rated S-Tier. At 770 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. Ice Beam with Choice Scarf is the standard set.
Kyogre is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Kyogre appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Kyogre's biggest threats include Raikou (Electric) and Breloom (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Kyogre has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Primordial Sea is the go-to ability for Kyogre. It creates heavy rain, which has all the properties of Rain Dance, cannot be replaced, and causes damaging Fire moves to fail. It's Kyogre's only ability.
Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Kyogre is a special attacker with base 180 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wallbreaker.
Game Availability
First obtainable in Ruby & Sapphire, Kyogre has been featured in 16 titles across 8 generations. Legendary status means a single encounter per playthrough in most games.
