Raid guide
How the fight goes and what to bring.
Kyogre is a pure Water-type, so it only fears Grass and Electric damage — bring your hardest-hitting Electric attackers (Xurkitree, Mega Manectric, Zekrom, Therian Thundurus) or grass nukes like Kartana and Mega Sceptile. The fight is very beatable with 3-4 competent trainers, and duo-able by high-level players with optimized Electric teams. The common mistake is bringing off-type generalists; Kyogre's bulk punishes teams that aren't hitting super-effectively. Avoid Rainy weather runs unless you have the numbers, since it boosts Kyogre's already-strong Water moves. As a reward, Kyogre is one of the most useful catches in the game and the shiny — a striking deep-blue — is well worth extra passes.
Kyogre resists Fire, Ice, Steel, Water — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.

Kyogre takes super effective damage from Electric, Grass-type moves.
How many trainers do I need to beat Kyogre?
3 trainers can do it if each brings six level-40 top counters (they average 27.6 DPS against Kyogre). With mixed teams plan for 5 or more — the estimate comes from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS on this page.
Can I beat Kyogre without Shadow or Mega Pokemon?
Yes. The best non-Shadow, non-Mega option is Regieleki at 29.6 DPS, 92% of what the top counter deals. Thundurus (Therian) and Kartana are the next ones down.
Can Kyogre be shiny?
Yes — the encounter after this raid can be shiny. Community-collected data puts legendary raid encounters at roughly 1 in 20.
What weather boosts Kyogre?
Rainy. Boss moves of the boosted types hit 20% harder (so do yours), and the catch is level 25 instead of 20: 2,882–2,998 CP instead of 2,316–2,410. The 10/10/10 IV floor is the same either way.
Is Kyogre worth raiding?
As one of your own Pokemon, Kyogre ranks #9 among Water-type raid attackers (Tier B). Useful, not essential — raid it if you need the candy or the dex entry.
