[SET]
name: Dynamax Wallbreaker
move 1: Origin Pulse
move 2: Ice Beam

move 4: Hidden Power Flying / Hidden Power Ground
item: Life Orb
ability: Drizzle
nature: Modest / Timid
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Setup Kyogre is immensely threatening; with a high Special Attack supplemented by Life Orb, access to insanely powerful STAB moves complemented by Drizzle, and stellar coverage, Kyogre succeeds in pressuring a large portion of the defensive metagame. In particular, it OHKOes Necrozma-DM, Ho-Oh, Zygarde-C, and Arceus-Ground. Most importantly, during Dynamax, its Calm Mind-boosted attacks allow it to overpower conventional Kyogre checks such as Ferrothorn, Primal Groudon, non-Calm Mind Arceus-Water, and Chansey while being extremely difficult to revenge kill, making stopping it once it's set up an arduous task. As a result, bulky builds are immensely pressured by this set. Origin Pulse provides a powerful STAB move capable of OHKOing Ho-Oh, Necrozma-DM, Tyranitar and Arceus-Ground as well as heavily damaging most potential switch-ins. Under Dynamax, it allows Kyogre to reset rain and overpower common checks in Chansey and Ferrothorn. Ice Beam targets everything that resists Origin Pulse, notably OHKOing Zygarde-C and OHKOing Mega Rayquaza and Eternatus under Dynamax as well as Primal Groudon and Giratina after a Calm Mind. However, it removes rain, making defeating Chansey and Ferrothorn more troublesome, so it should be used carefully. Calm Mind enables Kyogre to 2HKO a large portion of the metagame while making it even harder to revenge kill with special attacks and enables it to break through non Calm Mind Arceus-Water. Hidden Power Flying enables Kyogre to function as a sweeper, as the Speed boosts it gains under Dynamax allow it to outspeed revenge killers such as Mega Rayquaza and Zacian-C. Alternatively, Hidden Power Ground allows Kyogre to function as an even more adept wallbreaker, OHKOing specially defensive Primal Groudon. Modest is the preferred nature, enabling Kyogre to break Ferrothorn, Primal Groudon, and Chansey more easily, but Timid allows Kyogre to outspeed Modest Yveltal and Xerneas unboosted and Jolly Zacian-C after one Speed boost. The given EVs maximize Kyogre's Special Attack and Speed.

Kyogre is a fantastic wallbreaker when utilising Dynamax, so it fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, which appreciate its wallbreaking prowess while leaving the ability to Dynamax free for it. It also appreciates Sticky Web support. Calm Mind Arceus-Water is the most ubiquitous defensive Pokemon Kyogre cannot break through. As a result, pairing it with Perish trapping Arceus formes, Chansey, or Ferrothorn as well as Primal Groudon can be beneficial. Ferrothorn, Chansey, and Primal Groudon notably Imposter-proof Kyogre as well to some extent. This Kyogre set lures and breaks through common Kyogre switch-ins such as Primal Groudon, Chansey and Ferrothorn, so teammates that appreciate them being gone such as Calm Mind Arceus-Water and Eternatus are useful. Defensive checks to revenge killers such as Zacian-C, Mega Rayquaza, and Primal Groudon that may defeat Kyogre once its Dynamax has ended, such as Lugia, Arceus-Ground, Arceus-Water, and Necrozma-DM, are appreciated. While Dynamax should be conserved for Kyogre, there may be instances that it has already been used, in which case Kyogre will be unable to break through its common counters; as a result, teammates such as Zacian-C and Mega Rayquaza that force out Ferrothorn and Chansey while having the ability to wear down or KO a shared counter in Primal Groudon are appreciated. This support can allow Kyogre to make progress even without Dynamax. In return, Kyogre forces out Zygarde-C, Ho-Oh, and Necrozma-DM for Zacian-C while notably reducing Necrozma-DM's recovery due to rain, and it also relatively easily switches into the support Arceus formes that may threaten Mega Rayquaza.

In particular, it OHKOs Necrozma-DM, Ho-Oh, Zygarde-Complete and Arceus-Ground. Most importantly, after a Calm Mind while undergoing Dynamax, it overpowers conventional Kyogre checks such as Ferrothorn, Groudon-Primal and Chansey while being extremely difficult to revenge - making stopping it once setup an arduous task.

Hidden Power Flying doesn't allow Kyogre to break anymore Pokemon, however it [fluff tbh]allows Kyogre to function as a sweeper as it enables it to gain Speed boosts under Dynamax.

Modest is the preferred nature, enabling Kyogre to break Ferrothorn, Groudon-Primal and Chansey more easily, but Timid allows Kyogre to outspeed Modest Yveltal and Xerneas unboosted, and Jolly [modest still outspeeds ada unless I’m bad at math]Zacian-C after one Speed boost. The given EVs maximise Kyogre's Special Attack and Speed while 4 EVs in Defense allow it to take hits from Zacian-C, Rayquaza Mega and Groudon Primal more easily while Dynamaxed. [This bit feels a bit odd — are there any rolls that 4 defense evs help with? If not, I’d probably just refrain from mentioning it.]

Implemented all except:
"so teammates which appreciate them being gone such as Xerneas, Eternatus and", I implemented mention of Eternatus but Xerneas is a partner I probably would hesitate to pair with this specific set as they both kinda need Dynamax to function well.
Thanks. Ready for GP.

Just a few comments; when referring to Mega Pokemon it is Mega (Pokemon name) as in Mega Rayquaza. With the two Primal Pokemon Kyogre and Groudon it is Primal Kyogre or Primal Groudon. No hyphen is needed. Also Zygarde's complete is referred to as Zygarde-C. I think that is all if you have questions let me know! Good stuff!

Implemented. Thanks for the grammar check! "Improof" was what I intended to say btw - meaning "imposter proof", which in this scenario, means Primal Groudon, Ferrothorn or Chansey can switch into a ditto copying Kyogre safely in order to prevent a reverse sweep.
