Tips and Tricks

You cannot encounter a Primal Kyogre from a raid, only a regular Kyogre, which can be shiny.

Normal Sprite	Shiny Sprite

• Shiny odds for Kyogre will be 1 in 10 during Raid Day. Chances are very good if you complete 10 fights during Raid Day.
• Primal Kyogre is really tough to defeat. We recommend at least 6 trainers, with optimal counters.
• Check out our dedicated raid guide here to help prep your best team! Ensure your counters have optimal movesets, with Frustration removed from any Shadow Pokémon in your team. Powerful Grass and Electric types are your best counters.
• The quicker you beat it, the more Primal Energy you will get.
• Utilise Mega Pokémon to boost your fellow trainers Pokémon. Discuss with your fellow raiders in which party slot you have your Mega Pokémon, so everyone doesn’t have theirs in the first slot, therefore extending the Mega bonus over a longer period.
• Pick areas with multiple easy to access Gyms and use Remote Raiding to minimise downtime and coordinate with a second Raid party if possible
• You should be able to complete 10 – 15 Raids during this time with no problems.
• Party Play can give you an additional boost in raids! Set up a Party before you enter your raid, and you’ll be able to activate Party Power by clicking on the blue circle in the bottom left of the raid screen when it is fully charged. Party Power doubles the damage of your next Charged Attack and charges with every Fast Attack. More party members means that your Party Power charges faster!

Primal Kyogre CP

Primal Kyogre is a Water type Primal Raid boss. Best counters include powerful Electric and Grass types. After defeating the Primal form, Kyogre can be caught with the following Combat Power after being defeated in Raids:

• 2260 CP – 2351 CP (no weather boost)
  
• 2825 CP – 2939 CP (Rainy weather)

• Raid Bosses caught without weather boost are always Level 20. IVs range from 10 (min) to 15 (max). Raid Catches have a 10/10/10 IV floor.
• Raid Bosses caught with weather boost are always Level 25. IVs range from 10 (min) to 15 (max). Weather boosted Raid Catches have a 10/10/10 IV floor.

How to Get Primal Kyogre

You cannot catch Kyogre in its primal evolved form from the raid. The primal raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Kyogre.

Kyogre can be caught with the following CP values:

• 2260 – 2351 CP no weather boost
• 2825 – 2939 CP boosted by Rainy weather boost

In order to get Primal Kyogre you will need 400 Primal Energy for the initial evolution, then 80 Mega Energy to evolve the same Kyogre again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Primal Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Primal Pokémon is. Primal Energy can be obtained via Primal Kyogre Raids, and once you have evolved Primal Kyogre, you can earn 100 Primal Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Kyogre to earn Primal Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Primal Pokédex.

Primal Reversion Bonuses

You’ll receive bonuses when your Kyogre reverts to its primal form!

• Raids: Increased damage for types when part of Raid Party
• Buddy: Catching Pokémon with affected type grants additional XP and Candy

	Water Electric Bug

• When Primal Kyogre is in your party, Water-, Electric-, and Bug-type attacks will benefit from attack bonuses in raids.
• When Primal Kyogre is your buddy, catching Water-, Electric-, and Bug-type Pokémon will grant you additional XP and Candy. This can be particularly handy during events to boost candy for more variety of species than mega Pokémon.

Similar to Mega Evolution Levels, each time you Primal Evolve Kyogre, their Primal Evolution bonuses will increase and less Primal Energy will be required to perform a Primal Evolution.

• Kyogre’s Primal Level will increase the more times they revert to their primal forms, improving their bonuses.
• You can see a Pokémon’s Primal Level and the bonuses granted by that level by
  navigating to the Pokémon’s page and tapping the Primal Level icon.
• Kyogre can progress through three Primal Levels, and you can only progress the level a certain amount each day
