🥊 Personalized Kyogre Counters

📊Kyogre Raid Infographic

Kyogre– Sea Basin Pokémon

Kyogre is weak to the following types: x1 Electric, x1 Grass Generally speaking, the best counters for it are:Zekrom, Raikou and Electivire. Kyogre can be beaten by 2 players in optimal weather, with max friendship and perfect level 40 counters or by 5 unfriended players using level 20 counters from this guide. When caught, Kyogre will be between 2260 and 2351 cp without a weather boost. In Rainy weather, Kyogre will be between 2825 and 2939 when caught.


Raid Meta – Waterfall / Surf

Kyogre is the best water type attacker in the game with Surf. The only exception is when duel typing gives some kind of an advantage. The most notable example of this is Gyarados having overall better survivability against Ground Type attacks-but still falling behind Kyogre in raw damage. Palkia also pulls ahead when it’s Dragon-Type gives resistances. Even so, even at level 20 Kyogre can outclass a plethora of competition water types. Heck, without even using it’s charge move it has higher DPS than Vaporeon. If you want the best water type that a raid pass can buy, Kyogre is the Orca to go for.

PVP Meta – Waterfall / Surf + Blizzard + Thunder

Best in Master League, where it takes on Groudon and Metagross. Coverage move varies, Blizzard is better against Dragons, Thunder is better against other Kyogre.


There are a couple classes of unique pokemon that are more difficult to use than others, they have been filtered out here to not clog up the counters too much. These pokemon are much more resource expensive than other options.
 • Shadow Raikou– Best in General simulations.
 • Mega Venusaur– Great in General simulations.
 • Shadow Electivire– Great in General simulations.
 • Shadow Magnezone– Great in General simulations.
 • Shadow Mewtwo– Great in General simulations.
Less relavant Shadow and Mega Pokemon:Mega Ampharos, Shadow Venusaur, Shadow Zapdos, Shadow Victreebel

Luxray evolves from Shinx, which is a raid exclusive Pokemon; and always acquired at level 20 (or 25 if caught during rain). This makes it quite the pain to evolve. Even if you pinap every Shinx, it will still take 17 raids just to get enough base candy to Evolve it. Shinx raids have become a staple however and are pretty reliably around, and are Tier 1 raids that anyone can do. Shinx as a Buddy finds a candy every 5km, which is better than legendary Pokemon but still not great. With Level 35 Luxray you need 4 players.
