What use of kyogre in the immediate/near term?

It seems water mons are not particularly useful in the immediate/near term regarding raids/gyms. So even kyogre seems no significant impact.

Am I missing anything?

Edit: I got excited and totally didn’t read the “immediate/near term” keywords, disregard

If Niantic decides to add mega variants in gen 6, this guys going to get its Primal form

In the games it increases from a 670 base stat total {Dragonite, mew, Tyranitar, celebi, etc. are 600 for reference} to 770, with a more pronounced ability

Pretty sure Regirock, Landorus, Terrakion and Heatran are weak to water, plus you don't know when moltres, entei, ho-oh and groudon will return.

Ninetales, Golem, Nidos and possible future tier3 or 4 raids.

Future legendary raids have better counters
Gen3
Regirock - kyogre is useful, but machamp is better and cheaper
Gen4
Heatran - 4x ground weakness, groudon is better suited

No doubt machamp is cheaper and also more useful as he is good against all the rgis. But kyogre still has higher dps and tdo than machamp at lvl 40.

If the raid boss is Kyogre with blizzard, other than using Raikou, I understand that a good alternative is using Kyogre with thunder, correct?

The articles I read says only if you have him powered to Level 36.5. I have found Ho-Oh with SoB is a good option and if you have a high level Groudon (SoB) it also does OK. I have been leading off with my Mewtwo (C-ShB) versus Blizzard but he is Level 38. Just what's working for me.....

Not really unless it's raining. Waterfall is a really bad fast move when it's resisted.
