Primal Kyogre Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.

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.
Shiny Kyogre
Like all Mega/Primal Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Kyogre from a raid.

Whilst not quite as invaluable as their counterpart Primal Groudon, they are still going to be a great addition to your Water type raid teams.
