[SET COMMENTS]
Calm Mind Kyogre aims to find opportunities to set up and nuke foes with Origin Pulse, which doesn't rely on Kyogre's HP stat like Water Spout does. Ice Beam provides coverage for Grass- and Dragon-types like Rillaboom, Amoonguss, Raging Bolt, and Miraidon, which resist Origin Pulse. Calm Mind allows Kyogre to not only pick up more KOs on foes like Tera Fire Calyrex-I but also helps Kyogre survive attacks that would KO it such as boosted Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S. Leftovers provides passive recovery, further adding to the bulk of this Kyogre set. With the HP and Special Defense investments, Kyogre is capable of surviving a Helping Hand-boosted Choice Specs Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S. The EVs put into Special Attack let Kyogre OHKO Koraidon with Ice Beam after a Calm Mind boost. The Speed investment lets Kyogre outspeed maximum Speed Incineroar. Tera Grass provides resistances to Grass- and Electric-type attacks from the likes of Rillaboom and Raging Bolt while also allowing Kyogre to block Spore from the likes of Amoonguss.

Even with Ice Beam and Tera Grass, Kyogre can still struggle with common Pokemon such as Rillaboom and Raging Bolt, threatening Kyogre before and after Terastallizing. Koraidon and Miraidon are also scary for Kyogre, with Koraidon overriding rain and dealing big damage with Collision Course and Miraidon nuking Kyogre with Draco Meteor or Electro Drift. Wide Guard from foes such as Pelipper and Zamazenta-C is also an annoyance, as it denies Origin Pulse. Amoonguss helps Kyogre by chunking Rillaboom with Sludge Bomb and shutting down Raging Bolt with Rage Powder or Spore. With Tera Fairy, Amoonguss can also redirect Draco Meteor from Miraidon. Spore can also help stop Wide Guard users. Roaring Moon provides Tailwind support, allowing Kyogre to outspeed aforementioned foes like Koraidon and Miraidon, while threatening Koraidon with Tera Flying Acrobatics. Fake Out support from Pokemon such as Rillaboom and Incineroar grants opportunities for Kyogre to use Calm Mind or attack without the annoyance of Wide Guard.

Calm Mind Kyogre aims to find opportunities to set up and nuke foes with Origin Pulse. Origin Pulse is the Water-type STAB of choice, not relying on Kyogre's HP stat like Water Spout does. Ice Beam provides coverage for Grass- and Dragon-types like Rillaboom, Amoonguss, Raging Bolt, and Miraidon which resist Origin Pulse. Calm Mind boosts the damage of both of these moves while also boosting Kyogre's Special Defense, allowing Kyogre to not only pick up more KOs, but it also helps Kyogre survive would-be KOs Mention examples of what KOs Kyogre achieves and what attacks it can survive with Calm Mind. Leftovers provides passive recovery, further adding to the bulk of this Kyogre set. The HP investment makes Kyogre's HP optimized for Leftovers recovery You don't need to mention when EVs are chosen for optimal reasons like stat bumps and maximising recovery. Not only this, but Kyogre can also survive a Helping Hand boosted Choice Specs Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S, thanks to the HP investment. The EVs put into Special Attack let Kyogre OHKO non-Psychic Seed Indeedee-F after a Calm Mind boost. The Speed investment grants Kyogre the ability to This is more of a GP thing but avoid saying "the ability to" when it isn't actually related to Kyogre's ability outspeed max speed Incineroar. Tera Grass is a great option for Kyogre, providing resistances to Grass- and Electric-type attacks from the likes of Rillaboom and Raging Bolt, while also allowing Kyogre to dodge Spore from the likes of Amoonguss.

Even with Ice Beam and Tera Grass, Kyogre can still struggle with common Pokemon such as Rillaboom and Raging Bolt, threatening Kyogre before and after Tera with Wood Hammer, U-turn, Thunderbolt, and Dragon Pulse. Koraidon and Miraidon are also scary for Kyogre, with Koraidon overriding Rain and dealing big damage with Collision Course, and Miraidon nuking Kyogre with Draco Meteor or Electro Drift. Wide Guard is also an annoyance, with Wide Guard denying Origin Pulse. Amoonguss is a nice partner for Kyogre, chunking Rillaboom with Sludge Bomb and shutting down Raging Bolt with Rage Powder or Spore. With Tera Fairy, Amoonguss can also redirect Draco Meteor from Miraidon. Spore can also help stop Wide Guard. Roaring Moon is another good partner, providing Tailwind and allowing Kyogre to outspeed aforementioned foes like Koraidon and Miraidon, while threatening Koraidon with Tera Flying Acrobatics.

(either minimize the amount of moves you talk about or remove them overall you dont need to list out 4 moves) Koraidon and Miraidon are also scary for Kyogre, with Koraidon overriding Rain and dealing big damage with Collision Course, and Miraidon nuking Kyogre with Draco Meteor or Electro Drift. Wide Guard is also an annoyance, with Wide Guard denying Origin Pulse.

(you should mention something about fake out helping setup cm and talk about incin/rilla cuz thats a big part of these comps)

Talk about how it 2hko's special bulk CIR at +1, 2hko's bulky AV bolt with ice beam at +1, etc. etc. The Speed investment lets Kyogre outspeed max speed Incineroar. Tera Grass is a great option for Kyogre, providing resistances to Grass- and Electric-type attacks from the likes of Rillaboom and Raging Bolt, while also allowing Kyogre to dodge Spore from the likes of Amoonguss.

This amount of speed isn't necessary, kyogre prefers more bulk on these sets, Max speed incin isn't terribly common anymore and it's not worth investing this much EVs into speed. It also doesn't need this much special attack since it wants to be setting up with calm mind anyway, which again, means it would prefer bulk.
