Weak Kyogres
So, I live in an area where it's hard to get groups together for raids, and many of the people who might show are... incompetent. While I've gotten pretty good at soloing tier 3s,
I've gotten 1 kyogre, 10/10/12, wf/blizzard. While I know there's still time to try for a better one, I'm not hopeful.
The main question I had is whether this is worth powering up, and if so which moveset I'd be hunting.

Yeah, I'm not doing it now. I'll wait till it's out in case I get another.
The challenge I have is that in my area, even with the discord, there's only 2 gyms, and a real lack of players. I'd say all in all, there's maybe a total of a dozen active players in the area and it's a real challenge to have a kyogre pop up at a time when at least 4-5 people can make it (work, etc, etc), beat it, and still catch it. None of those steps are particularly easy around here.
I got lucky last week when both gyms popped kyogres at the same time so the group we gathered for the first just drove 5 minutes to the second. I caught one, the other escaped.
At level 30 it outperforms a lvl 40 Gyarados in dps (if I'm not mistaken), so it is definitely worth boosting even a mediocre one. However, water will only be useful during Regirock raids (as far as gen 3 legendaries go) so I would hold off on powering up a Kyogre for now, especially because he's not gone yet. Also go Hydro Pump as Blizzard and Thunder suck with only Waterfall as a fast move.
