Since Kyogre is a water-type Pokemon, players are best off using electric- and grass-type Pokemon against it. Other types are also viable against Kyogre, but even more important is that Pokemon GO players make sure that each Pokemon they select for their raid party has the best moves possible as well.
Here are the best Pokemon to counter Kyogre in Pokemon GO, and the moves players will want them to have when taking them into the raids:
Raikou - Thunder Shock/Wild Charge Zapdos - Charge Beam/Thunderbolt Latios - Zen Headbutt/Solar Beam Venusaur - Vine Whip/Frenzy Plant Sceptile - Bullet Seed/Leaf Blade Exeggutor/Alolan Exeggutor - Bullet Seed/Solar Beam Groudon - Dragon Tail/Solar Beam Kyogre - Waterfall/Thunder Ho-Oh - Extrasensory/Solar Beam Jolteon - Thunder Shock/Thunderbolt
When players are putting together their raid parties to battle Kyogre, they should keep in mind that grass-type Pokemon can be devastated by one of its moves. There are some Kyogres that know Blizzard, and this attack has a tendency to wipe out grass-type Pokemon, so trainers may want to set up two raid parties for Kyogre - one for when Kyogre knows Blizzard, and one for when it knows Thunder.
While some may not want to put that much thought into their raid parties, going into raid battles with the best possible Pokemon to counter the legendary should greatly increase their odds of winning. And since there are now shiny Kyogres appearing in raids, it should definitely be worth the effort.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen which legendary Pokemon will replace Kyogre in raids. It’s possible that Niantic will introduce the Regi trio (Regirock, Regice, and Registeel) next.
