Is Kyogre good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Tier B at rank #17 makes Kyogre a useful Water-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Water bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Attack is its highest stat (270), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 100,000 Dust and 100 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Kyogre deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

What are Kyogre's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

A perfect 15/15/15 Kyogre shows 2,351 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,939 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
