Strategy Overview
Primal Kyogre's high base attacking stats and access to a variety of coverage options make it one of the most threatening wallbreakers in Anything Goes. Its good natural bulk, pure Water typing, and Fire immunity courtesy of Primordial Sea lend it valuable defensive utility as well, letting it serve as a check to the likes of mixed Primal Groudon, defensive Ho-Oh, and most Calm Mind Arceus formes. As Electric- and Grass-type attacks aren't very common in Anything Goes, teams typically have to rely on brute force in order to revenge kill it. However, Kyogre tends to struggle against offensive teams, which pack faster threats such as Mega Rayquaza, Ultra Necrozma, and Marshadow that can heavily damage it with their attacks. Primal Groudon and Ferrothorn are the best defensive answers to Kyogre, and they can take advantage of it by using the opportunity to lay entry hazards or set up. Regular Kyogre can viably run a Choice Scarf set to patch up its average Speed, letting it turn the tables on offensive teams by outspeeding and OHKOing many frail attackers. However, threats like Primal Groudon and Mega Rayquaza severely limit its sweeping potential.
