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.

Template:Kyogre

Kyogre (Japanese: カイオーガ Kaiouga) is a Water-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the Version Mascot of Pokemon Sapphire and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. It is a Primal Pokémon as well.

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. However, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is capable of changing into its Primal Form.

Game Info

Obtainable Versions

Kyogre is obtainable in Sapphire, Emerald, and HeartGold through normal means. Trading a Kyogre into SoulSilver and showing both it and Groudon to Professor Oak allows the player to catch Rayquaza.

Appearances

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."
