Verdict
Situational
Kyogre is a solid but not elite Water-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#15) in raid performance. With a max CP of 4,652 and base stats of 270/228/205, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Water-type counters. The best moveset is Waterfall paired with Origin Pulse. Consider investing if you need a Water-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
In PvP (Master League), Kyogre is ranked #42 (Tier D) with a 56.10% win rate.
Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Kyogre deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
