Choice Specs Kyogre is seen on bulky offense and balance teams and threatens common walls like Ting-Lu, Skeledirge, Landorus-T, and defensive Arceus formes with its powerful Drizzle-boosted STAB moves. Thunder is used to hit Toxapex, opposing Kyogre, and Arceus-Water, and Ice Beam is used to hit Koraidon, Miraidon, Giratina-O, and Eternatus. Tera Fairy provides Kyogre with a much-needed immunity to Dragon-type moves from Koraidon and Miraidon and a resistance to Koraidon's Low Kick. Tera Ghost is used so that Kyogre can avoid being revenge killed by Extreme Speed from Extreme Killer Arceus and Low Kick from Koraidon. Tera Water alleviates prediction by letting Origin Pulse 2HKO Giratina-O and letting Water Spout achieve feats such as OHKOing Miraidon and Toxapex, OHKOing Arceus-Water with a layer of Spikes, and 2HKOing Calm Eternatus even if it uses Recover. The HP investment allows Kyogre to be used as a soft check to Koraidon and gives it a high probability of surviving Choice Specs-boosted Grass Knot from Calyrex-S, and the Speed allows it to outspeed uninvested Landorus-T. Kyogre, being slower than the other offensive threats in the metagame like Koraidon, Miraidon, Calyrex-S, and offensive Eternatus, appreciates solid checks to them such as Landorus-T, Toxapex, and Ting-Lu as teammates. Defog Giratina-O is also appreciated for its ability to remove entry hazards, which lets Kyogre preserve its HP to maintain a powerful Water Spout and stay out of KO range of priority moves such as Arceus's Extreme Speed and Giratina-O's Shadow Sneak. Kyogre also appreciates teammates such as Koraidon, Miraidon, and Landorus-T, as they are capable of letting Kyogre enter the battlefield safely with the help of their pivot moves.
