Moveset analysis
For raids and gyms, Primal Kyogre runs Waterfall with Origin Pulse — 20.4 DPS and 467 TDO as a Water-type attacker. It also covers the Ice slot with Waterfall and Avalanche.
In Master League it runs Waterfall and Origin Pulse. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.
The highest-damage fast move is Waterfall (13 DPS); Waterfall builds energy fastest (7 EPS). Origin Pulse is an Elite TM move and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Is Primal Kyogre good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Primal Kyogre is a Tier S Water-type attacker at rank #1, so the Stardust pays for itself in raid damage. Take it to level 40 first; XL Candy to 50 only matters once you already have a full team of six.
- Attack is its highest stat (353), 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.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Primal Kyogre in Pokemon GO?
Primal Kyogre's best moveset is Waterfall (fast) with Origin Pulse (charged), worth 20.4 DPS as a Water-type attacker. Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Primal Kyogre's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Primal Kyogre takes super effective damage from Electric, Grass-type moves. It resists Fire, Ice, Steel, Water, so avoid those types against it.
What is Primal Kyogre's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Primal Kyogre reaches 6,672 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 5,902 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
Is Primal Kyogre good for PvP in Pokemon GO?
Primal Kyogre is ranked #11 (Tier A) in Master League with a 71.02% win rate.
In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Master League is 15/15/15 rather than a hundo.
Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Primal Kyogre bait shields instead of committing to one attack.
What CP is a 100% IV Primal Kyogre?
A perfect 15/15/15 Primal Kyogre shows 3,372 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 4,215 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.
How do you get Primal Kyogre in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Kyogre ( Candy). It is currently a Primal Raids raid boss.
Can Primal Kyogre be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Primal Kyogre depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
