Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kyogre; German: Kyogre; French: Kyogre; Korean: ???) is a legendary Water-type Pokémon. Possessing the ability to expand the oceans, in ancient times it came in conflict with Groudon, a Pokémon with the ability to expand continents.

In Pokémon Sapphire and Pokémon Emerald, Kyogre is sought after by Team Aqua as part of their plot to create more habitats for aquatic Pokémon by raising the sea level.

Kyogre has the Ability Drizzle, which causes constant rain similar to the effects of Rain Dance whenever the Pokémon is in battle.

Kyogre does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Name origin

Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 kai, ocean and orca, a species of whale. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from "ogre", which are mythologial land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable Kyogre spells out 海王 kaiō, which are the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei, Neptune.

Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the leviathan, the gigantic primeival master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile or serphent like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. It's counterpart was the behemoth.
