#382 Kyogre
“Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kyogre) is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Kyogre can undergo Primal Reversion and become Primal Kyogre if it holds the Blue Orb.
Kyogre possesses the ability to expand the oceans. In ancient times, it came into conflict with Groudon, a Pokémon with the ability to expand continents. In Pokémon Sapphire, Emerald, and Alpha Sapphire, Kyogre is sought after by Team Aqua as part of their plot to create more habitats for aquatic Pokémon by raising the sea level.
Kyogre is the game mascot of Pokémon Sapphire and its remake, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal and Primal forms respectively.
Along with Groudon and Rayquaza, Kyogre is one of the super-ancient Pokémon.
Kyogre is a massive, whale-like Pokémon with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. Kyogre has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The tail is tattered with four trailing parts, with the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.
Kyogre is believed to be the personification of the sea itself, and is also described in mythology as the creator of the world’s ocean. Kyogre is an immensely powerful Pokémon, having control over the water and being capable of creating a huge rain cloud that’d slowly spread out to the whole world, eventually drowning it completely. As Kyogre slumbers, it is incased in a layer of rock that’ll be shattered away if it is awakened by the Blue Orb. It is said to have expanded the seas and is hailed as a savior for quenching areas of the world plagued with drought. Kyogre is normally calm and peaceful, but if it encounters its rival, Groudon, Kyogre will engage in a cataclysmic battle against it. Said battle can only be stopped by the intervention of Rayquaza. Kyogre is able to fly when it has no water to swim in. Kyogre can attack its foes with countless beams of light that glow a deep and brilliant blue. Kyogre generally lives deep in the ocean and is said to rest in a deep trench. Kyogre loves Kyogre Treats made by Snacksworth, who once encountered it in the past.
Kyogre is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Origin Pulse. Prior to Generation V, Drizzle was its signature Ability.
Kyogre can undergo Primal Reversion and become Primal Kyogre.
Primal Kyogre retains its general body structure but grows to more than double the size of its base form. Its main skin color becomes a darker shade of blue, the red markings along its body become light blue, and its eyes glow yellow with orange irises and orange-red pupils. The markings on its pectoral fins slightly change to form α (Alpha) symbols, which connect to its outer nails with red markings connecting the inner nails. Every part of its skin that was white in its base form becomes clear and translucent, with the large ovals on its head now connected to clear markings stretching from its tail to its forehead, where another α symbol is formed. The trailing parts of its tail grow longer and gain translucent webbing, and the areas between its pectoral fin markings also become clear. The translucent parts of its body reveal organ-like structures that glow with a mysterious light; it has a large “organ” at the center of its body, two smaller ones aligned with the large oval markings, and two more located in its pectoral fins.
The primal form of Kyogre is said to be Kyogre’s true and original form and is at its full power when in the Primal state. In the Mega Evolution Pokédex Short, Primal Kyogre is said to have widened the seas by a large margin simply by taking a swim. Its body matches the composition of seawater, while its skin glows similarly to that of a sapphire. With its weather-manipulating powers, it can nullify Fire-type moves. Primal Kyogre was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn‘s ancient past. It feeds on that same energy so it can maintain its primal form in the present day, after it was undone in the past by Mega Rayquaza. Due to the lack of Primal energy in the surface, it is forced to find a source underground, like the stones in the Cave of Origin, allowing it to undergo a Primal Reversion. Primal Kyogre along with Primal Groudon have the power to disrupt the planet’s balance, with the risk of it being destroyed.
Primal Kyogre is the only known Pokémon with Primordial Sea as its Ability.“-Bulbapedia.
