Pokemon Go Primal Kyogre best PvP moveset

Primal Kyogre’s best moveset for PvP is Waterfall and Origin Pulse. Both of these attacks are Water-type moves and therefore benefit from STAB, providing a huge 20% damage boost. This gives Origin Pulse a big advantage over both Blizzard and Thunder, though these work well as secondary coverage moves.

Surf is also a strong alternative performing well by itself but Primal Kyogre’s signature move just deals too much damage to overlook. It is the perfect option for making the most out of the Sea Basin Pokemon’s phenomenal Attack stat and beating other trainers with ease.

For Raids you’ll want to use Waterfall and Origin Pulse too, as these attacks provide the best overall DPS and take advantage of Primal Kyogre’s Water typing. Though Origin Pulse is the strongest option, Surf is a good alternative for those struggling to get Primal Kyogre’s signature move.

With this recommended moveset you can be confident that you have one of the best Water-type Attackers in Pokemon Go. In fact, Primal Kyogre outputs better DPS than any other Water-type in the game outclassing even the likes of Mega Blastoise and Mega Swampert.
