Top Primal Kyogre Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Primal Kyogre counters as such:

  • Mega Sceptile: Bullet Seed, Frenzy Plant
  • Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
  • Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
  • Mega Venusaur: Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant
  • Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
  • Xurkitree: Spark, Discharge
  • Shadow Magnezone: Spark, Wild Charge
  • Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
  • Mega Manextric: Thunder Fang, Wild Charge
  • Shadow Tangrowth: 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 Primal Kyogre with efficiency.

  • Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
  • Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
  • Sky Forme Shaymin: Grass-type Hidden Power, Grass Knot
  • Tapu Bulu: Bullet Seed, Grass Knot
  • Magnezone: Spark, Wild Charge
  • Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Thunderbolt
  • Roserade: Razor Leaf, Grass Knot
  • Celebi: Magical Leaf, Leaf Storm
  • Tangrowth: Vine Whip, Power Whip
  • Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Primal Kyogre can be defeated with five trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have six or more players. Five will be difficult to pull off, so six is recommended. 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.
