Pokemon GO Primal raids regularly feature Primal Kyogre, and even pro players find it hard to win against it. One must possess proper meta-knowledge to defeat the legendary raid boss. The monster possesses a maximum CP of 6672 and winning the Primal raid can result in a Shiny Kyogre encounter.
Primal Kyogre is a Legendary Water-type monster, and its powers boost even further as a Primal raid boss. Originating from the Hoenn Region (Gen 3), the Pokemon GO raid boss showcases robust offensive abilities. Solo players should avoid raiding alone since defeating it requires a team with powerful counters. This guide explains everything about the Primal Kyogre raid, its weakness, counters, Shiny Kyogre availability, and more.

Pokemon GO: Primal Kyogre Weakness and Resistances
Primal Kyogre boasts an impressive stat spread of 353 ATK, 268 DEF, and 218 STA. Although the monster can resist Fire, Ice, Steel, and Water-type moves, it is vulnerable to Electric and Grass-type attacks in Pokemon GO. You must use its weakness to their advantage and avoid the types it resists.
Rainy Weather can boost Primal Kyogre’s power, so you should avoid raid locations with such weather conditions. Trainers can also use the Same Type of Attack Bonus feature (STAB) to inflict maximum damage. The STAB feature activates when a Pokemon’s attack type and innate type are the same; using that specific attack will inflict bonus damage on the enemy.

Primal Kyogre is a formidable opponent; defeating it isn’t child's play. One needs to analyze its weaknesses and resistances and select proper counters. Since the monster is weak to Electric and Grass-type moves in Pokemon GO, it is preferable to have such type-counters.

Pokemon GO: How to Get Shiny Kyogre
Pokemon GO Shiny monsters are in demand but difficult to catch; one needs to catch up to the Shiny spawn rate. There are multiple ways to get a Shiny monster, and raids are one of them.
Trainers who defeat Primal Kyogre might encounter Shiny Kyogre once the raid concludes. There is a probability of Shiny Kyogre spawning nearby the raid location. Although the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, one can win several raids and catch up to its Shiny spawn rate. The more Kyogre they encounter, the quicker they can catch up to its Shiny odds.
