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.

Kyogre showed up in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea just in time for the final showdown against The Phantom.

Trivia

• Palace Maven Spenser has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
• Kyogre and its counterpart, Groudon, are the only Pokémon to date with a catch rate of 5.

Origin

Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the leviathan, the gigantic primeval 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. Kyogre's appearance is, as it's name implies, largely inspired by the orca, commonly called killer whale.

Name origin

Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 kai, ocean, and orca, a species of dolphin. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ogre, which are mythological 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.
