The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Memories in Motion, continues this month. This season focuses on the build-up to Pokémon GO Fest 2026. For the second month of Memories in Motion, Five-Star Raids will feature Regidrago, Kyogre, Groudon, Tapu Lele, and Tapu Koko with Shadow Latios in Five-Star Shadow Raids. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Manectric, Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Alakazam, Mega Sharpedo, and Mega Banette. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Kyogre, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Kyogre Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Kyogre counters as such:
- Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Shadow Regigigas: Grass-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
- Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
- Mega Venusaur: Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant
- Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Shadow Chesnaut: Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge
- Mega Manectric: Thunder Fang, Wild Charge
- Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Kyogre with efficiency.
- Eternatus: Poison Jab, Dynamax Cannon
- Rillaboom: Razor Leaf, Frenzy Plant
- Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Black Kyurem: Dragon Tail, Fusion Bolt
- Regieleki: Thunder Shock, Thunder Cage
- Regigigas: Grass-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
- Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Sky Forme Shaymin: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot
- Chesnaught: Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Kyogre can be defeated by three trainers. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have four or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Kyogre will have a CP of 2351 in normal weather conditions and 2939 in boosted conditions.
