Pokemon GO: Best Moveset For Kyogre

Are you ready to reveal the power of the legendary Water-type Pokemon, Kyogre? With its incredible special attack, special defense, and the rain-summoning Drizzle ability, Kyogre is a formidable force in Generation 3 Pokemon battles. In this blog, I’ll guide you through creating an unbreakable Kyogre moveset build that will dominate your opponents.

Kyogre’s Strengths and Weaknesses

Before diving into the build, let’s analyze Kyogre’s strengths and weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Phenomenal special attack and special defense stats
  • High HP
  • Drizzle ability boosts Water-type moves
• Weaknesses:
  • Vulnerable to Electric and Grass-type attacks

The Ultimate Kyogre Build

Here’s the moveset breakdown for a competitive Kyogre in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald:

• Move 1: Calm Mind
  • Type: Psychic
  • Effect: Boosts Kyogre’s special attack and special defense by one stage.
  • How to obtain: Kyogre learns Calm Mind by leveling up (Level 30).
• Move 2: Surf
  • Type: Water
  • Effect: Hits all adjacent foes with powerful Water-type damage. Gets a significant boost from both STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) and Kyogre’s Drizzle ability.
  • How to obtain: Learn via HM03.
• Move 3: Ice Beam / Thunder
  • Ice Beam
    • Type: Ice
    • Effect: Strong Ice-type special attack with a 10% chance to freeze the opponent.
    • How to obtain: Kyogre learns Ice Beam by leveling up (Level 35).
  • Thunder
    • Type: Electric
    • Effect: Powerful Electric-type special attack with a 30% chance to paralyze. It never misses in the rain created by Drizzle.
    • How to obtain: Purchase TM25 from the Lilycove Department Store.
• Move 4: Substitute
  • Type: Normal
  • Effect: Kyogre creates a substitute, sacrificing 25% of its HP. This substitute takes damage for Kyogre.
  • How to obtain: Learn from a Move Tutor (Lilycove Department Store in Emerald, or Fuchsia City Zoo in FireRed/LeafGreen).

Item, Ability, and Nature

• Item: Leftovers
  • Gradually restores HP, synergizing well with Substitute.
  • Can be found on the S.S. Tidal, in the Battle Tower (Ruby/Sapphire), or the Battle Frontier (Emerald).
• Ability: Drizzle
  • This is Kyogre’s only ability, and thankfully, it’s fantastic!
• Nature:
  • Modest (+Special Attack, -Attack) is ideal.
  • Timid (+Speed, -Attack) is also a good option.

Additional Notes

• This build turns Kyogre into an oppressive special attacker and a defensive wall.
• Calm Mind boosts its power while Substitute provides protection.
• Ice Beam or Thunder offer coverage against different threats.
• Leftovers ensure some HP restoration.

I hope this guide helps you build a dominant Kyogre for your next Gen 3 Pokemon adventure. Let me know how your battles go!
