Primal Kyogre#10077

Its greatest asset is Sp. Atk — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Its stat total puts it at the very top: more than 100% of species fall behind. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses and 4 resistances. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very hard to catch — bring plenty of Poké Balls and something that puts it to sleep or paralyzes it.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Primal Reversion adds a fixed pool of one hundred points and replaces the ability with a single one.

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (180) is 30 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 74% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Abilities

Primal Kyogre does not breed. You cannot get an Egg from it — this is how the games treat almost all Legendary and Mythical species.
