In the games

• Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: Kyogre is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the Sapphire Field. Kyogre will first use Sheer Cold to freeze the ball in place. It will then create whirlpools to trap the ball further. Finally, it will dive into the water to evade being hit completely. However, air bubbles will appear where it is about to rise out of the water. Kyogre must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Kyogre will be captured.

In the anime

Kyogre's first appearance was in Gaining Groudon. Team Magma had captured the Sea Basin Pokémon, but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Magma planned to make a trade with Team Aqua, who have captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when Archie decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen!

The battle between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, The Scuffle of Legends.

Kyorge showed up in Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy just in time for the final showdown against Captain Phantom.

In the TFG

One Kyogre figure has been released.

Trivia

Origin

Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the leviathan, the gigantic primeival master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile- or serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the behemoth.

Name origin

Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 kai, ocean, and orca, a species of whale. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ogre, which are mythologial land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, Kyogre spells out 海王 kaiō, which are the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei, Neptune.
