Shadow Kyogre is a Water-type Pokemon with a stat total of 703. With its high Attack stat (270), Shadow Kyogre is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Shadow Kyogre in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Kyogre's best moveset is Waterfall (fast) and Origin Pulse (charged), providing 18.8 DPS as a Water-type attacker. This combination maximizes damage output thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), strong energy generation from the fast move, and high DPE (damage per energy) on the charged move.
What are Shadow Kyogre's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Kyogre is weak to Electric, Grass-type moves. On the other hand, Shadow Kyogre resists Fire, Ice, Steel, Water-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Shadow Kyogre effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Shadow Kyogre's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Kyogre's maximum CP is 4,652 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 4,115 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Shadow Kyogre's CP is calculated from its base stats: 270 Attack, 228 Defense, and 205 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Shadow Kyogre caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 2,351 CP, or 2,939 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Shadow Kyogre?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Shadow Kyogre has the following CP at key levels: 1,764 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 2,351 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,939 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 4,652 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Shadow Kyogre, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Shadow Kyogre ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Shadow Kyogre in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Kyogre can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events.
Can Shadow Kyogre be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Shadow Kyogre's availability depends on whether Niantic has released its shiny form. Not all Pokemon have their shiny forms available yet. Check the current events page and Community Day announcements for any updates on shiny Shadow Kyogre availability and boosted shiny rates during special events.
