Kyogre Trio Raid Guide

The supreme DPS Mega for this raid, Mega Manectric easily breaks Duo-level DPS even with no boosts in play, and is an outstanding option for a dual-Mega duo run. It's fairly frail, but it absolutely fries this whale given even the slightest chance. 

The supreme TDO Mega for this raid, Mega Venusaur sports huge general TDO and still-great DPS. It's also viable for the Mega-only duo, but you'll probably want to wait for Sunny weather for that. Oh, and watch out for Blizzard!

With DPS and TDO performance that falls short of Mega Venusaur, Mega Ampharos is a great "backup" Mega, especially if you know that your team's counters are Electric-heavy. 

The DPS king for this raid, Shadow Electivire has no real down-sides in this raid aside from being pretty frail. Bring it in and watch it shock Kyogre within an inch of its life.

This is basically Shadow Electivire, but with a bit less DPS and a bit more TDO. Still an outstanding pick!

Not quite as good as the above, but still an outstanding Electric Type, Shadow Zapdos packs a punch and puts in the work. Just note that it really wants Thunder Shock, and it really doesn't like Blizzard!

Shadow Magnezone is a little bit weaker than the above Electric Types, but it sets itself apart by being one of the few Kyogre counters that resists Blizzard, while also resisting Thunder as an added bonus. It's a bit worse against Surf and Hydro Pump, but still very viable.

Shadow Luxray is basically a demi-Shadow Electivire. Its DPS and TDO are a bit lower, but it can still put in some work.

The first normal Legend on this list, Thundurus - Therian is a great option for getting ahead of the clock with its relatively solid availability (when compared to the Shadow Legends, anyway) and high DPS. It's a bit frail and does not like Blizzard, but it's still great!

The classic generalist, Shadow Mewtwo once again shows up in a Raid guide, this time sporting Thunderbolt. No huge advantages/disadvantages here, it's just a solid pick.

A strong Grass Type attacker that resists Water and Electric Type movesets and keeps solid general presence on the field. Just beware of Blizzard, and Shadow Venusaur will definitely perform well.

Shadow Torterra has a performance similar to Shadow Venusaur, but its typing switches things up a fair bit. By comparison, it has no resistance to Water Type attacks and a pretty devastating double-weakness to Blizzard. But it makes up for this a bit with a triple resistance to Thunder, though taking neutral damage from Waterfall will generally make it fare about the same as Shadow Venusaur in this case, with lower performance in any other scenario. Still, it's a solid pick in general.

one of the best Pokemon on this list in terms of overall performance, Zekrom has high DPS, and great survivability thanks to the fact that it resists Water Type moves and double resists Thunder. It doesn't like Blizzard, so try to get an idea for what moveset you're bringing along.

Simple yet effective, Shadow Tangrowth is a good, old-fashioned Grass Type like Mega Venusaur, but a bit lower on the DPS charts. Still, it's a solid choice for anything that you may face, just watch out for Blizzards.

My, how the mighty have fallen. 

Electivire is still a great Pokemon, but its performance is substantially behind the majority of the Shadows. Still, if you have one or two raised, they're solid picks for this raid.

If you were one of the ten people lucky enough to score a good Zarude when it was given out, then this is a great time to set is loose. As is always the case with Grass Types, just watch out for Blizzard.

Remember when Raikou was the top Electric Type in the game? Well, it's still pretty solid, but it's also fallen behind a number of stronger Shadows in particular. Still, it's worth using if you lack anything higher up on the list.

Yet another case of "good against everything, save Blizzard". A nice filler Pokemon if you have it.

The same as above, but better against Water Type moves and Thunder, but very weak to Blizzard.

...wow, now we're reaching waaay back! Zapdos was once the king of the Electric Type meta, but now it's relegated this low on the list. As with its Shadow variant, it's fine against everything but needs to watch out for Blizzard.

Shadow Manectric actually has really nice DPS, but it drops really quickly at the same time, which is especially bad when you're literally guaranteed to face Waterfall in this raid, which hits pretty danged hard.

A definite glass-cannon, but it doesn't pack quite enough of a punch to be a really good option here.

Decent damage output, but paper thin at the same time.
