Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kyogre) 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.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Kyogre has the power to create massive rain clouds that cover the entire sky and bring about torrential downpours. This Pokémon saved people who were suffering from droughts.

Pokémon Sapphire

Kyogre is named in mythology as the Pokémon that expanded the sea by covering the land with torrential rains and towering tidal waves. It took to sleep after a cataclysmic battle with Groudon.

Pokémon Emerald

Kyogre has appeared in mythology as the creator of the sea. After long years of feuding with Groudon, it took to sleep at the bottom of the sea.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

This Pokémon is said to have expanded the sea by bringing heavy rains. It has the power to control water.

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 serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the behemoth.

Rarity & strategy

Kyogre seems to be easier to catch than Groudon.Kesults show that Kyogre has a higher chance of being caught while asleep.Wait until it uses Rest or if you put it to sleep yourself.
