Kyogre Weakness

Type-wise, Kyogre takes extra damage from Electric and Grass. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Kyogre's special bulk (base 140 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Legends: Z-A Kyogre Best Moveset

Prediction matters here. Choice Scarf means Kyogre can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is speed patching through item lock. Max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs with Drizzle back that up. Electric coverage prevents free switches.

Kyogre Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Kyogre is a Legendary Pokemon rated S-Tier. At 670 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. Ice Beam with Choice Scarf is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, 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.

  • Drizzle is what you want on Kyogre. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. Drizzle synergizes with Kyogre's base 140 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.

  • Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Kyogre is a special attacker with base 150 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wallbreaker.

  • In Legends: Z-A, the best way to handle Kyogre: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.

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.
