[Set Comments]

<p>Although this seems similar to the Mono-Attacker set, this set packs some notable advantages
. Instead of setting up Calm Minds over time, this set focuses on getting as many Calm Minds as possible and then Resting. Thanks to Chesto Berry, Kyogre will immediately wake up at full HP, ready to drown anything in its path with STAB Surf. Without the need for Sleep Talk, this Kyogre can afford to run a second attacking move. Ice Beam is generally the best option as it allows Kyogre to stop Rayquaza, Giratina-O, Palkia, and Shaymin-S cold. Thunder can also be used to allow Kyogre to defeat some opposing Calm Mind Kyogre, Manaphy, and Lugia, while also dealing more damage to Palkia than Ice Beam.</p>

[Additional Comments]

<p>This Kyogre appreciates Toxic Spikes support, as well as teammates to prevent Lati@s from using Calm Mind alongside Kyogre and consequently beating
it with Thunder or Grass Knot. With Toxic Spikes, Kyogre can focus on gaining more Calm Minds against things like Blissey and Palkia while the poison withers them away into nothingness. Forretress sets up Toxic Spikes very easily thanks to its many resistances and draws Fire-type attacks that Kyogre can switch into. Choice Scarf Tyranitar can easily come in on Lati@s who lack Grass Knot and Pursuit as they switch or KO them with a fast Crunch. Scizor and Metagross are also solid Pursuit users to consider for the job.</p>

<p>Most boosted Electric-type attacks, such as Choice Specs Thunder from the likes of Dialga, Palkia, and enemy Kyogre will 2HKO this Kyogre even after a Calm Mind boost. Furthermore, physical variants of Dialga and Palkia can 2HKO Kyogre before it can even set up. Garchomp boasts an immunity to Electric-type attacks and can use his powerful STAB Outrage and Earthquake to destroy the aforementioned Pokemon. Garchomp also baits Ice-type attacks that Kyogre can set up on. Physical Dialga and Palkia can be handled easily by Groudon, who can also take Electric-type attacks aimed at Kyogre. Lugia can work as well by setting up Reflect to help Kyogre take physical attacks as it sets up. Both Groudon and Lugia can provide paralysis support to make up for Kyogre's middling Speed, but it's not recommended with Toxic Spikes on the same team.</p>

 
I too am too lazy to find the stamp, but since I asked for this set to be writtein Im approving it!

Might as well move this to the Ubers forum
 
I don't think that Kyogre needs SDef Evs. Currently (provided I did the Calcs right you have a 28.2% chance to be OHKO'd by a Modest Specs Kyogres Thunder (not factoring SR). That calc takes into account no CM boost so I think that Kyogre is fine how it is.

I know that Thunder is in AC but does it not deserve a slash on the main set?
Lati@s is beating you ayway and it seems that (at least to me) Ice Beam is only useful for Rayquaza, Giratina and Giratina-O, Garchomp and Salamence.
Garchomp and Salamence both take a lot from a +1 Surf and Thunder does mean that CM Manaphy Calm Mind war you and Thunder is also nice for Palkia as well. Heck you also hit Lugia harder than Ice Beam as well.

Have a Nice Day!

<p>Although this seems similar to the Mono Attacker set, it packs some notable advantages that set(word choice sounds a little redundant, I would reword this, but thats just me..) it apart. Instead of setting up Calm Minds over time, this set focuses on getting as many Calm Minds as possible and then Resting. Thanks to Chesto Berry, Kyogre will immediately wake up at full HP, ready to drown anything in its path with its STAB Surf. Without the need for Sleep Talk, this Kyogre can afford to run a second attacking move. Ice Beam is generally the best option to allow Kyogre to stop opponents such as Rayquaza, Giratina-O, Palkia, and Shaymin-S cold. Thunder can also be used to allow Kyogre to always defeat enemy opposing Calm Mind Kyogre (unless they have Thunder as well). It also zaps Manaphy and Lugia into submission, and it deals more damage to Palkia than Ice Beam.</p>

<p>The main support this Kyogre set likes is in the form of Toxic Spikes and a reliable counter to Latios and Latias. This Kyogre set appreciates Toxic Spikes support, as well as teammates to handle Latias and Latios(The Eon Lati twins can easily Calm Mind alongside this(they can do it to every Kyogre set...) Kyogre and KO it with a powerful Thunder or Grass Knot.) With Toxic Spikes, Kyogre can focus on gaining more Calm Minds against things like Blissey and Palkia while the poison withers them away into nothingness. Forretress can set up Toxic Spikes very easily thanks to its many resistances, and it also draws Fire-type attacks that Kyogre can come in on to start setting up. A Choice Scarf Tyranitar can easily come in on Latios or Latias who lack Grass Knot(Grass Knot will do loads of damage though so try not to switch in on that.) and use Pursuit as they switch, them away or KO them with a fast Crunch. Scizor and Metagross are also solid Pursuit users that can be used to dispose of Latios and Latias too.</p>

<p>Most boosted Electric-type attacks, such as Choice Specs Thunders from the likes of Dialga, Palkia, and enemy Kyogre will 2HKO this Kyogre even after a Calm Mind boost, so having something that can take Electric-type attacks is a ideal partner. Furthermore, physical variants of Dialga and Palkia can 2HKO Kyogre before it can set up. Garchomp boasts an immunity to Electric-type attacks, and it can use its powerful STAB Outrage and Earthquakle to destroy Choice Specs Palkia, Dialga, and Kyogre, or it can use the free turn to set up a Swords Dance and go for a sweep of its own. Garchomp also baits Ice-type attacks that Kyogre can set up on. Physical Dialga and Palkia can be handled easily by Groudon, who can also take Electric-type attacks aimed at Kyogre. or Lugia can work as well, as it who can set up Reflect to help Kyogre takes physical attacks as it sets up. Both Groudon and Lugia can provide paralysis support to make up for Kyogre's middling Speed, but its not recommended to use it if you are planning to utilize Toxic Spikes on your team.</p>

Good set overall with a solid writeup. There were very few notable or repeated mistakes, just small things here and there. Definitely ready to go on-site after you fix the prose issues I noted and the small list of other problems.

Cheers.

I looked over the OP and it appears that you have introduced a lot of strange errors when you implemented my check. You will need to fix those. :P
