Kyogre's first appearance was in Gaining Groudon. Team Magma had captured Kyogre 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.
A Kyogre makes a cameo in the introduction of The Rise of Darkrai and Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin.

Kyogre's first appearance was in VS. Kyogre & Groudon. It was awakened by Team Aqua so the waters will be expanded. Wattson, Flannery and Winona tried to stop it but failed due to Team Aqua's interference.

Trivia
- Palace Maven Spenser has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
- Sir Aaron's gloves also have markings similar to Kyogre's.
- Also, the markings on its main fins look like an A, as in Aqua. It shares this characteristic with Groudon.
- Kyogre and its counterpart, Groudon, are the only Pokémon to date with a catch rate of 5.
- In the Diamond & Pearl: Legends Awakened commercial, Kyogre was shown flying.
- Kyogre is the only non Template:Type2 to learn Sheer Cold (not counting Smeargle).
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 draws inspiration from various whales, but it closely resembles an orca.
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 means King of the Sea. It is also worth noting that 海王 is the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei, Neptune.
