How many raikou and at what level will you ready for kyogre?

For me, two raikous at the max breakpoint nearest to L30. Actually raikou is the only legendary I've powered up with more than one copy.

One maxed Raikou and that's it.

Going to fill in with Zapdos, Exeggutor Venusaur etc

As before, group size and composition will matter more for damage balls compared to if I have 6 raikou or not so I'm not too concerned about having only 1 Raikou. Couldn't care less about potion use... Still got too many

1 Raikou, 1 Zapdos, and lots of Exeggutors. I'll max the Raikou out slowly. Then Zapdos. But L30 is good enough.

I'm thinking about powering up a second one too! For the moment my team is Raikou, Zapdos, Exeggutor, Jolteon. Magneton is in the race for one of the last two spots along with Venasaur, Victrebeel and Confusion Exeggutor.

Magneton should not be in a race with Venusaur, Victreebel and Confusion Exeggutor unless its significantly higher level than all of those. It will have worse DPS always and even against Blizzard it doesn't have much better TDO.

I know but I will try it because I just like Magneton. Venasaur and those C Exeggutors have 78-80% IVs only, so Victrebeel would probably be the best choice. I will see. Maybe none of those will make the team if I decide to power up a second Raikou or second Groudon.

Species matters much more than IV. At the same level, Venusaur and C Exeggutor are better even if the Victreebel is 100%.

I agree for C exeggutor because of the raw power confusion offers in combonation with the highest base attack stat. For Venasaur I am not sure if it really is superior to Victrebeel in my case. Victrebeel has the higher base attack and the difference in attack IV (15-11) is significant.

For me, I transferred all my Raikous, so I have to use Jolteons and Venusaurs.

None at the momment, same as all my legendary
So i bring my grass attackers first when Kyogre appear, and then see if i have to power up the Raikou..

It should be 39, I agree.

You're making me nervous. This made me think I messed up my spreadsheet :-D

I have 2 at level 40 and a single Zapdos at 40 to back them up, probably won’t power another.

I will bring a lvl40 raikou and lvl40 Eggy and line another 2 lvl39 eggies and 2 lvl40 dragonite (more to mix it up since dragonites are pretty strong generalist and hoping kyogre is not using blizzard)

With the dodge bug still a problem, I doubt there will be any significant difference in damage dealt between a level 30 and maxed Raikou. Coz even if you successfully dodged a charged attack at 40% health, the system will still registered as 'no dodge' and your Raikou will 'faint', forcing you to switch to your next Pokemon.

No, a max Raikou will have a significantly higher damage output than a level 30 and will actually be able to dodge. It’s especially important with Raikou considering the the thunder shock cutoff vs Kyogre is at level 39.

One 40 and Three 34.

Why 34? It's the minimum whole level that makes their CP > 3000

Why not 38.5 (final breakpoint)? I'm still working on it!

I went on hiatus a week after gym rework and returned during the Halloween event, so I only have one Raikou (87% with TS/WC). Other candidates for my Kyogre lineup would be Exeggutor with BS/Solar, Exeggutor with Conf/Solar, Venusaur with VW/PB and Magneton with Spark/DC (all level 30), plus lower-level Jolteons that I used to slay Gyaradoses under the old system.

I wonder how those Confusion Exeggutors will perform.

I have 1 maxed out and will take a 2nd one to 30. For rainy days when Kyogre is boosted I will run an all electric team. Still need to evolve a few more high Level eevee hoping for jolteon to fill in the last spot.

On sunny days I’ll run the 2 raikou and a mix of grass types, eggs,
Sceptile mostly.

100% raikou(level 39), 98% raikou(level 39), and 93% raikou(still trying to get candies to power all of them up to level 40)

Two at level 39 (CP 3301), one at level 31, and one Zapdos at 31. The Zapdos doesn't make the cut however with my Pokebattler pokebox against any of the movesets.
