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 Primal 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 Primal 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.
