Choice Specs Kyogre trades longevity for more immediate damage, increasing its breaking power. Origin Pulse is inaccurate but is Kyogre's best move after Water Spout is weakened. Ice Beam allows Kyogre to threaten Dragon-types like Koraidon, Miraidon, and Eternatus, preventing them from being reliable switch-ins and notably OHKOing Koraidon after one spike layer of Spikes. Thunder allows Kyogre to hit bulky Water-types, such as opposing 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 and at worst 2HKO every common defensive Pokemon in rain. Alternatively, Tera Fairy makes Kyogre immune to Dragon-type attacks and lets it survive a Low Kick from Koraidon even after some chip damage. Tera Ghost is an alternative option that similarly deals with Low Kick while also adding an immunity to Extreme Speed, which allows Kyogre to take on even boosted Arceus. 252 EVs in Speed with a Timid nature lets Kyogre outspeed most defensive Arceus formes, whereas Modest can be used for more damage output, enabling Ice Beam to OHKO Koraidon.

Since Choice Specs Kyogre is easily chipped down by entry hazards, it often finds itself on faster-paced teams that appreciate its ability to quickly force progress. Koraidon, Miraidon, Calyrex-S, and offensive 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 options such as Choice Scarf Koraidon and Calyrex-S as well as Arceus, which can clean up late-game. Kyogre also benefits from Sticky Web, 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-T are also great teammates, since they switch into Miraidon's Electric-type attacks well. Landorus-T in particular can also switch into and chip Koraidon with Rocky Helmet and pivot Kyogre in against the defensive Pokemon that often switch into it, such as defensive Arceus formes, Ho-Oh, and opposing Landorus-T. Other pivots such as Choice Scarf Koraidon and Miraidon also make excellent partners, as they can help bring Kyogre onto the field.

Choice Specs Kyogre trades longevity for more immediate damage, increasing Kyogre's 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, have a great chance to OHKO Miraidon, and better threatens Eternatus, while Thunder allows Kyogre to hit bulky Water types, such as Kyogre and Arceus-Water You might want to also say Tera Water opponents, but up to you. 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 could 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 it's its ability to quickly force progress. Koraidon, Miraidon, and Calyrex-Shadow make excellent teammates since they appreciate Kyogre's ability to OHKO most of their checks Mention Fairyceus too, its few real checks are fire types and steel (ndm), which doesn't do much to Kyogre and get OHKOed back. Since Kyogre is very slow, it appreciates speed control such as Koraidon, Calyrex-Shadow, and Arceus who can clean up late game Mention Webs btw, Dice Korai, LO /Epack or LO or Specs Caly-S, LO Miraidon... there are a lot. 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.

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. [you don't just need to say what a move does; it's only worth explaining if there's a specific thing that a move hits, so STABs can often just not be explained.] Origin Pulse is less accurate but is Kyogre's best move after Water Spout is weakened. Ice Beam allows Kyogre to threaten Dragon-types like Koraidon, Miraidon, and Eternatus, preventing them from being reliable switch-ins and notably OHKOing Koraidon after one spike. 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 opposing 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 and at worst 2HKOing every common defensive Pokemon in Rain.

Tera Ghost is an alternative option that retains the Low Kick immunity while also adding an immunity to Extreme Speed, which allows Kyogre to take on even boosted Arceus. 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. The given EVs maximize speed and damage output while ensuring that Kyogre is faster than most defensive Arceus-formes. A Modest nature can also be used for more damage output and to OHKO Koraidon with Ice Beam but at the cost of making but this is not recommended as it makes Kyogre slower than the aforementioned defensive Arceus formes.

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 offensive Arceus-Fairy make excellent teammates since they appreciate Kyogre's ability to OHKO most of their checks.

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. [it might be worth adding something generally about how it loves pivoting from stuff like scarf korai and mirai as well but I'm not really sure how to fit it in and it's probably not strictly necessary]

(max SpA is pretty self explanatory, and the contrast implies Modest can't do what Timid does without repeating it explicitly)
