Assault Vest (Kyogre) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Drizzle
Level: 50

Modest Nature

[SET COMMENTS]

Kyogre is a strong Restricted Pokemon thanks to its enormous special bulk, which is further bolstered by Assault Vest, and great damage output thanks to its rain. These traits make it especially threatening in the metagame, as some of the best Restricted Pokemon like Terapagos and Calyrex-S struggle to break through Kyogre, while it continuously damages them with powerful rain-boosted STAB moves. Origin Pulse is a strong STAB move that Kyogre can use as it loses HP. Thunder can punish opposing Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W. Ice Beam threatens Grass- and Dragon-types like Amoonguss, Koraidon, and Miraidon. The EV spread allows Kyogre to survive a Choice Specs Helping Hand-boosted Draco Meteor from Miraidon and lets it take three Tera Ghost Astral Barrages from Calyrex-S. The investment in Speed lets Kyogre outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Modest Chi-Yu in Tailwind. The Special Attack investment allows Kyogre to OHKO Incineroar with Origin Pulse. Tera Grass helps Kyogre defensively against Pokemon like Miraidon, Rillaboom, and Raging Bolt while providing a Spore immunity, which helps against Amoonguss.

Kyogre struggles against Pokemon like Miraidon, Rillaboom, Raging Bolt, and Ogerpon-W, as they resist Kyogre's STAB moves and threaten it with their respective STAB moves. Iron Jugulis is a premier Tailwind setter for Kyogre-based teams, since it can reduce the damage output of Pokemon like Miraidon and Raging Bolt with Snarl and threaten Rillaboom and Ogerpon-W with Hurricane. Faster Tailwind teams can be annoying, as they chip Kyogre before it can move, reducing its Water Spout damage. This can be solved by using Urshifu-R, which outspeeds most of the metagame with a Choice Scarf and threatens high damage with Surging Strikes, which can be boosted by Kyogre's rain. Tsareena is a good teammate for Assault Vest Kyogre, threatening Dragon- and Grass-types like Miraidon and Rillaboom with Triple Axel while also shutting down common priority attacks that threaten Kyogre like Grassy Glide from Rillaboom and Thunderclap from Raging Bolt with Queenly Majesty. Taunt on Tsareena helps to Kyogre handle Amoonguss as well as Trick Room setters like Farigiraf.

[SET COMMENTS]
Kyogre is a strong restricted Pokemon, thanks to its enormous Special bulk which is further bolstered by Assault Vest, making it especially threatening in the current metagame, as some of the Top restricted Pokemon like Terapagos and Calyrex-S struggle to breakthrough Kyogre, while it continuously chips them with strong Special Attacks like Water Spout and Origin Pulse, which are boosted by Kyogre's ability, Drizzle. Origin Pulse is a consistent Water-type STAB move, (consistent? it only has 85 accuracy - thats inconsistent) which Kyogre can use as it loses HP. Thunder can punish opponents if they Terastalize to Water to resist Kyogre's Water-type STAB moves. (moved elsewhere + terastalise is somewhat redundant) Ice Beam threatens Grass- and Dragon-types like Amoonguss, Koraidon and Miraidon which take resisted damage from Kyogre's Water-type STAB moves. mention ice beam first as its more important. Thunder allows Kyogre to hit Water-type Pokemon, such as Urshifu-R, for super effective damage. The EV spread allows Kyogre to survive a Choice Specs Helping Hand-boosted Draco Meteor from Miraidon. The Special Defense EVs allows Kyogre to live 3 Tera Ghost Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S The investment in Speed allows it to outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Modest Chi-Yu in Tailwind. The Special Attack investment allows it to OHKO Urshifu-R with Thunder. Tera Grass helps Kyogre defensively against Pokemon like Miraidon, Rillaboom and Raging Bolt as well as providing a Spore immunity, which helps against Amoonguss.

Kyogre struggles against Pokemon like Miraidon, Rillaboom, Raging Bolt and Ogerpon-W (perhaps a little bit on why - personal choice tho as it could be seen as pretty obvious). Iron Jugulis has been a premier Tailwind-setter used on Kyogre Teams, which can Snarl Pokemon like Miraidon and Raging Bolt to reduce their damage output and threaten Rillaboom and Ogerpon-W with Hurricane. Faster Tailwind-teams are can be annoying, as they chip Kyogre early, reducing its Water Spout damage. This can be solved by using Urshifu-R, which outspeeds most of the metagame with a Choice Scarf and threatens high damage with Surging Strikes, boosted by Kyogre's Rain. Tsareena has been a niche pick on Kyogre Teams, providing Ice coverage in Triple Axel, which threatens Dragon-types while also providing Priority blocking, thanks to its ability, Queenly Majesty. Taunt on Tsareena helps to handle Amoonguss as well as Trick Room-setters like Farigiraf.

[SET COMMENTS]

Kyogre is a strong Restricted Pokemon thanks to its enormous special bulk, which is further bolstered by Assault Vest, and great damage output thanks to its rain. These traits make it especially threatening in the metagame, as some of the best Restricted Pokemon like Terapagos and Calyrex-S struggle to break through Kyogre, while it continuously damages them with powerful rain-boosted STAB moves. Origin Pulse is a strong STAB move that Kyogre can use as it loses HP. Thunder can punish opposing Water-types like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-W. Ice Beam threatens Grass- and Dragon-types like Amoonguss, Koraidon, and Miraidon. The EV spread allows Kyogre to survive a Choice Specs Helping Hand-boosted Draco Meteor from Miraidon and lets it take three Tera Ghost Astral Barrages from Calyrex-S. The investment in Speed allows lets (You use "allow" a lot in this section.) Kyogre to outspeed Calyrex-S and Choice Scarf Modest Chi-Yu in Tailwind. The Special Attack investment allows Kyogre to OHKO Incineroar with Origin Pulse. Tera Grass helps Kyogre defensively against Pokemon like Miraidon, Rillaboom, and Raging Bolt while providing a Spore immunity, which helps against Amoonguss.

Kyogre struggles against Pokemon like Miraidon, Rillaboom, Raging Bolt, and Ogerpon-W, as they resist Kyogre's STAB moves and threaten it with their respective STAB moves. Iron Jugulis is a premier Tailwind setter for Kyogre-based teams, since it can reduce the damage output of Pokemon like Miraidon and Raging Bolt with Snarl and threaten Rillaboom and Ogerpon-W with Hurricane. Faster Tailwind teams can be annoying, as they chip Kyogre before it can move, reducing its Water Spout damage. This can be solved by using Urshifu-R, which outspeeds most of the metagame with a Choice Scarf and threatens high damage with Surging Strikes, which can be boosted by Kyogre's rain. Tsareena is a good teammate for Assault Vest Kyogre, (AC) threatening Dragon- and Grass-types like Miraidon and Rillaboom with Triple Axel while also shutting down common priority attacks that threaten Kyogre like Grassy Glide from Rillaboom and Thunderclap from Raging Bolt with Queenly Majesty. Taunt on Tsareena helps to Kyogre handle Amoonguss as well as Trick Room setters like Farigiraf.
