Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kaiorga) is a Water-type legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Kyogre possesses 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 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 is the version mascot of Pokémon Sapphire, appearing on the boxart.
Along with Groudon and Rayquaza, Kyogre is a part of the Weather trio.
Biology
Physiology
Kyogre has two big pectoral fins or "wings", each ending with four square-shaped "fingers". It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two spots. It has red marking stripes around the chin area, eyes, dorsal fins, torso, and on its wings which can glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The pattern on the pectoral fins sort of resembles the letter A. The tail seems tattered with four trails, the inner smaller than the outer. It also has a mouth full of rarely seen sharp triangular teeth.
Gender differences
Kyogre is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Kyogre has the power to summon heavy rain that remains even after the Pokémon has left the area. It also can control the seas, widening the oceans with massive tidal waves. It is thought to be the creator of the seas in the Pokémon world. Kyogre is one of the few Pokémon capable of learning Water Spout.
Behavior
Not much is known about the behavior of Kyogre, due to the fact that it is rarely seen. It is normally calm and peaceful, but if it meets its rival Groudon it will fiercely attack it in a fight to the death.
Habitat
Kyogre normally sleep deep beneath the sea in the Seafloor Cavern, but have also been known to appear in the Embedded Tower.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Being a dolphin-like Pokémon, it is likely that Kyogre actively hunts for its food. It is also possible that it may feed on plankton, like some real-world aquatic animals, like whales.
In the anime
Major appearances
Kyogre's first appearance was in Gaining Groudon. Team Magma had captured Kyogre but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Magma planned to make a trade with Team Aqua, who have captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when Archie decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The battle between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, The Scuffle of Legends.
Kyogre appeared in the movie Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It had appeared along with countless other Water Pokémon when Ash replaced all of the Sea Crown's crystals. However, when The Phantom attempted to make all the Water-types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre too was part of the ensuing commotion. Manaphy calmed them down using Heart Swap to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some Wailord broke open The Phantom's ship, followed by some Chinchou swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used Hyper Beam on the ship, destroying it.
Minor appearances
Kyogre makes a cameo in the introduction of The Rise of Darkrai, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, and Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Kyogre's first appearance was in VS. Kyogre & Groudon I. It was awakened by Team Aqua so the waters will be expanded. Wattson, Flannery, and Winona tried to stop it but failed due to Team Aqua's interference, and it ended up reaching Sootopolis City, where it fought for days on end with Groudon. Ruby, having trapped Sapphire in Wallace's air car for her safety, was joined by a reformed Courtney and succeeded in quelling both the titans using the Red and Blue Orbs and Norman's temporary control over Rayquaza. However, even after Kyogre returned to the Seafloor Cavern, Archie and Maxie still had plans of reawakening them to kill off anyone who'd oppose their will using the two orbs. Once they were thwarted, the arc ended. However, later on, Guile Hideout succeeded in having Jirachi create a Kyogre monster that nearly sank the entire Battle Frontier.

Other appearances
After being released from a Poké Ball, Kyogre opens its mouth and squirts out a stream of water. The water is non-damaging, but causes characters to be knocked back with extreme force. Touching Kyogre's body will do damage. Kyogre also appears as a trophy.

Trivia
Origin
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of Leviathan, the unconquerable primal master of the sea. Its counterparts were Behemoth and Ziz. Just as Kyogre is in conflict with Groudon, it was said that at the end of time Leviathan and Behemoth would start a battle that would kill them both. The Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from whales, especially the Orca. Kyogre could also be based on Hayo and Lakandanum, the gods of the sea of the Philippine mythology.
Name origin
Kyogre and Kaiorga can be broken up into 海 kai, ocean, and orca, a species described as a whale, but which is actually more closely related to dolphins. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ogre, which are mythological land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, Kyogre spells out 海王 kaiō, which means King of the Sea. It is also worth noting that 海王 are the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei, Neptune.
