Choice Specs Kyogre trades longevity for more immediate damage, increasing its breaking power. Water Spout is Kyogre's strongest move, although it decreases in power the less HP Kyogre has. Origin Pulse is less accurate but is Kyogre's best move after Water Spout is weakened. Ice Beam OHKOs Koraidon after a single spike, has a great chance to OHKO Miraidon, and better threatens Eternatus, while Thunder allows Kyogre to hit bulky Water types, such as Kyogre, Arceus-Water, and Tera Water Arceus-Fairy. Tera Water boosts Kyogre's Water type attacks to an absurd level, allowing it to OHKO Miraidon with Water Spout on the switch. Tera Fairy makes Kyogre immune to Dragon type attacks and resist Low Kick from Koraidon. Tera Ghost allows Kyogre to check Arceus while still being immune to Low Kick. 252 EVs in Speed with a Timid nature lets Kyogre outspeed most defensive Arceus formes, with the rest being invested in Special Attack to maximize damage. A Modest nature can also be used for more damage output and to OHKO Koraidon with Ice Beam but this is not recommended as it makes Kyogre slower than defensive Arceus.
Since Choice Specs Kyogre is easily chipped down by hazards it often finds itself on faster paced teams that appreciate its ability to quickly force progress. Koraidon, Miraidon, Calyrex-Shadow, and Arceus-Fairy make excellent teammates since they appreciate Kyogre's ability to OHKO most of their checks. Since Kyogre is very slow, it appreciates speed control such as Koraidon, Calyrex-Shadow, and Arceus who can clean up late game. Kyogre also benefits from Sticky Webs as it allows it to outspeed threats such as Loaded Dice Koraidon, Life Orb Miraidon, and Zacian-C, making Kyogre much more difficult to answer. Bulky Ground types like Ting-Lu, Iron Treads, Arceus-Ground, and Landorus-Therian are also great teammates since they switch into Miraidon's Electric type attacks. Landorus-T in particular can also switch into and chip Koraidon with Rocky Helmet and pivot Kyogre into the defensive Pokemon that often switch into it, such as defensive Arceus formes and Ho-oh, as well as opposing Landorus-Ts.
