Kyogre can be found in the Level 5 Raids of Pokémon GO throughout June 2022, and this guide recommends the best counters to the Legendary Water Pokémon.
Hoenn’s watery god is one of the best competitive Pokémon in both the smartphone game and the mainline titles of the series. Therefore, every appearance in the game’s raid battles is a more than welcome opportunity to get your hands on a specimen of the species with particularly advantageous stats – the jackpot is, of course, a Shiny variant with strong stats.
To ensure that Kyogre doesn’t cause you any problems in Pokémon GO’s raids, this guide shows you the best counters against the Legendary from Hoenn.
Kyogre: Best counters – Pokémon GO
Mega Manectric (Thunder Fang, Wild Charge)
Zekrom (Charge Beam, Wild Charge)
Mega Venusaur (Vine Whip, Frenzy Plant)
Zarude (Vine Whip, Power Whip)
Mega Ampharos (Volt Switch, Zap Cannon)
Raikou (Thunder Shock, Wild Charge)
Mega Latios (Dragon Breath, Solar Beam)
Thundurus (Therian Forme) (Volt Switch, Thunderbolt)
Tapu Bulu (Bullet Seed, Grass Knot)
Electivire (Thunder Shock, Wild Charge)
Magnezone (Spark, Wild Charge)

Kyogre shows up with 54,411 competition points (CP) as a Level 5 Raid Boss and can be caught with a strength between 2,260 and 2,939 CP. Rain ensures that the most powerful specimens swim in your Pokéball.
As a Water-type, Kyogre’s greatest weaknesses lie in Electric and Grass-type attacks. Mega evolving one of these types definitely pays off against the Legendary, as the bonus to ally damage helps keep your own losses as low as possible. Still, it takes at least three or four level 40 users with Best Friends status and upgraded Pokémon to take on Kyogre in the time limit.
