In exchange for some of Kyogre's flexibility, Choice Specs makes Kyogre a devastating wallbreaker. Rain-boosted Water Spout annihilates anything outside of Koraidon, Eternatus, and Clodsire. Ice Beam always OHKOes Koraidon and 2HKOes Eternatus and Clodsire. Thunder blasts through Arceus-Water and opposing Kyogre, which resist the aforementioned moves. Origin Pulse provides an alternative strong STAB attack should Water Spout's power be weakened. The EVs allow Kyogre to always OHKO Koraidon, with the HP and Defense investment allowing Kyogre to live a four-hit +2 Scale Shot from it. 16 Speed EVs let Kyogre outspeed paralyzed Zacian-C and Deoxys-A. If bulk is not a concern, then spreads with more Speed investment can be run to more reliably outspeed other base 90 Speed Pokemon like opposing Kyogre and Giratina-O. Max Speed with a Timid nature can be run to outspeed support Arceus formes and is highly recommended for Sticky Web teams to outspeed Zacian-C. Tera Fairy and Tera Ground let Kyogre get the jump on Koraidon and Miraidon, respectively.

Choice Specs Kyogre requires more support than other Kyogre sets, as its lack of Heavy-Duty Boots gives it less defensive utility and makes Water Spout liable to being weakened from entry hazard damage. Defog users like Giratina-O and Corviknight are highly recommended due to this, and combined with Kyogre, provide a strong defensive backbone against Arceus-Ground. Koraidon and Miraidon are great partners, as their U-turn on common switch-ins like Ho-Oh, Ting-Lu, and Gliscor lets Kyogre come in much easier and wreak havoc. Choice Specs Kyogre can often lure in and KO Choice Scarf Koraidon, so teammates like defensive Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM, Zacian-C, and Extreme Killer Arceus work well in combination. Arceus-Fairy provides critical security against Koraidon, especially as this Kyogre set cannot handle Koraidon as well as other Kyogre sets, and can help Kyogre break much easier with Thunder Wave support.

In exchange for some of Kyogre's flexibility, Choice Specs makes Kyogre a devastating wallbreaker. Rain-boosted Water Spout will annihilate anything outside of Koraidon, Eternatus, and Water Absorb (important to clarify)Clodsire. Ice Beam always OHKOes Koraidon and 2HKOes Eternatus and Clodsire. Thunder will blast through Arceus-Water and opposing Kyogre which resist the aforementioned moves. Origin Pulse provides an alternative strong STAB attack should Water Spout's power be weakened. The EVs allow Kyogre to always OHKO Koraidon, with the HP and Defense allowing Kyogre to live a 4 hit +2 Scale Shot from Koraidonit. 16 Speed EVs let Kyogre outspeed paralyzed Zacian-C and Deoxys-A. If bulk is not a concernneeded, then sets with more maximum Speed investment can be run to more reliably outspeed other base 90 Speed Pokemon like opposing Kyogre and Giratina-O. Timid Max Speed can be run to outspeed support Arceus formes and is highly recommend for Sticky Webs teams to outspeed Zacian-C. Tera Fairy and Ground let Kyogre get the jump on Koraidon and Miraidon, respectively.

Choice Specs Kyogre requires more support than other Kyogre sets, as its lack of Heavy-Duty Boots gives it less defensive utility and makes Water Spout liable to being weakened from entry hazard damage. Defog users like Giratina-O and Corviknight are highly recommended due to this, and combined with Kyogre provide a strong defensive backbone against Arceus-Ground. Choice Scarf Koraidon and miraidon as a whole is a good partner; idk if especifically mentioning scarf is needed though (when scarf by itself is a rare mirai set) Miraidon are great partners, as their U-turn on common switch-ins like Ho-Oh, Ting-Lu, and Gliscor lets Kyogre come in much easier and wreak havoc. Choice Specs Kyogre can often lure and KO Choice Scarf Koraidon, so teammates like Defensive DD Necrozma-DM and Extreme Killer Arceus work well in combination. add zacian as a good teammate.
