[[Category:Water-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation III Pokémon]] [[Category:Blue Pokémon]] Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kaiouga) is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the Version Mascot of Pokémon Sapphire.

Biology

Physiology

It seems to resemble something like a big dark blue whale or orca. It has two big fins or "wings", each ending with four square-shaped "claws." It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two spots. It has markings on its wings which sort of resemble the letter A with a circle on the top. It also has two small dorsal fins on its back with two stripes running horizontally below the fins. The tail seems tattered with four trails, the inner smaller than the outer. It also has a mouth full of rarely seen sharp triangular teeth.

Evolution

Kyogre does not evolve.

In the Anime

File:Kyogre.jpg

Kyogre first appeared in the anime in Gaining Groudon!, and The Scuffle of Legends, debuting with Groudon as well. Team Magma and Team Aqua were competing to gain both legendaries. Team Aqua, as it turned out, tricked Magma leader, Maxie by taking Kyogre even after they had Groudon. Kyogre also made an appearance in the ninth Pokémon movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea where it was kind of like Manaphy's "steed."

Trivia

• Kyogre is the only non-Ice type Pokémon to learn Sheer Cold (excluding Smeargle).
• Despite it saying in the game that Kyogre flew away when defeating it, it isn't Flying-type.
• Kyogre and Mantine have the highest Special Defense of all Water type Pokémon.
• Kyogre and Palkia have the highest Special Attack of all Water type Pokémon.
• Before Generation 5, Kyogre was the only Pokémon to have the Drizzle ability.
• Most of the legendary trios and duos look somewhat alike or at least have the same body class. However, all members of the Weather trio are completely different to one another. Kyogre is based on an orca, Groudon is based on a theropod dinosaur, whilst Rayquaza is based on a Chinese dragon.
• Kyogre's moveset has an advantage over all other members of its trio. Water attacks on Groudon and Ice attacks on Rayquaza are super-effective.
• It is highly likely that Kyogre is based on the Leviathan from Judeo-Christian religion.

Etymology

File:Ky.jpeg

Kyogre's name originates from Kai, which means ocean. Ogres are mythical beasts, but it's unlikely the reason Kyogre's name ends in ogre. It's probably because it's a big beast that which the suffix ogre makes sense. Without the "Ogre" part, it spells out Kaiō, which means King of the Sea. Also, Kaiō is the first four letters of the word Kaiōsei which means Neptune, the Roman version of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon.
