Team against Blizzard Kyogre

If I do a Kyogre raid tomorrow, this is all I have at the moment. (That aren't weak to Blizzard, bar Zapdos). Any suggestions?

Luxray? P.S. So sad Magnezone still hasn't been released.

Exactly the reason why I don't want Rayquaza back right now. They gotta release Mamoswine first.

Ehehe I feel you, my situation is even worse bc I have no Electivire, only got one lv25 Raikou and one lv30 Zapdos
Besides these two, I'll use a lv.33 TS/TB Jolteon, then I'll go for Grass counters, since revives are not an issue for me. I think 2 FP Venusaur and a Roserade. I know I'll have to re-lobby so I'm gonna bring up a B-team too.

Luxray is also a good choice
Thunderbolt Mewtwo seems nice too

Maybe, if you have a pre-CD Metagross, it could be very tanky hitting with neutral damage (ZenHB/Psychic), but I'm not kinda sure about it

Back to February 2018 I remember Thunder Kyogre as my best pick vs Blizzard raids, but come on, hells no

Me too! My only high level Pokemon not weak to Blizzard is a Jolteon, all my Raikou are at L15, no Luxray or Electivire. For now, I'm using my L35 Roserade as lead, Exeggutors at the back.
EDIT: Thanks for reminding me of TB Mewtwo! I'll definitely use that.

Talking about TB Mewtwo, I'd choose it if I had one powered up.
I think a lvl20 TB Mewtwo isn't gonna perform better than a lv35 FP Venusaur, even in Blizzard matchups

I'd say magnazone, but...……

Other than that I'd go with electivire, with both electivire and meganzone having the movesets needed, though magnazone isnt out, and the comparability of their preformance, Raikou's a hard pokemon to justify with rarecandy now beyond powering a single one up (theres also the potential for raid days in the future)

TL;DR, go electivire.

A strong FP venusaur or exeggutor actually works well. A level 40 Venusaur will actually outlast a level 40 Jolteon, if only by a second or two.

Thank you all for your answers! The best thing I could do is fill the rest of the gaps with Venusaur or Roserade, despite they're weak to ice. Good luck to all of you on your Kyogre and Groudon raids!

Don't use Roserade. You want your grass attackers to have multibar moves, Solar Beam is much too risky. Roserade will get oneshot so if Blizzard fires before your SoB, its contribution to your damage will be minimal. FP Meganium, GK Breloom, Victreebel, Sceptile, Shiftry, Carnivine, Cacturne are all better than Roserade. According to Pokebattler.

I took the advice from a previous comment and I've put a Double-Psychic Metagross on the 5th slot. Now, for the last one, I think I'll go for something that makes neutral damage to Kyogre and resists Blizzard too. I hope I can found something!

Lanturn resists both Water and Ice, and has SE electric attacks. But its attack stat is too low, it can at least survive a while. Maybe a good tank at the end of the line?
