Kyogre

Kyogre is the most specially bulky Water-type in Balanced Hackmons that is also capable of dealing high damage. With some investment in bulk, it is capable of surviving almost any unboosted move in the metagame, which gives it the opportunity to set up quite reliably. It is one of the best Scald users in the metagame due to its base 150 Special Attack and STAB and only faces some competition from Palkia, which has a better offensive typing anyway due to its secondary Dragon typing; however, Kyogre has better defensive typing and superior bulk. Kyogre's decent defensive typing allows it to switch into many of the commonly used special moves in the game, such as Blue Flare, Steam Eruption, and Ice Beam. Kyogre's typing leaves it with only two weaknesses, Electric and Grass, both of which are not too common in the metagame. Kyogre additionally takes neutral damage from Aerilate- and Pixilate-boosted moves and resists Ice, which allows it to take even a Boomburst from any -ate user and proceed to retaliate. Kyogre also has a good offensive typing, as Water-type moves are only resisted by Water-, Dragon-, and the uncommon Grass-types. As a result, Kyogre is already Imposter-resistant because it resists its own type. Kyogre is, however, held back by its lower Defense. Kyogre's Speed stat also hinders it, as it needs to boost to at least +2 to outspeed relevant threats in the metagame such as Mega Gengar, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega Rayquaza without any Speed investment.
