Kyogre

Kyogre (カイオーガ Kyogre) is a -type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is the Version Mascot of Pokémon Sapphire.

In the Anime
Kyogre appeared in the anime in Episode 373: Gaining Groudon!, and Episode 374: The Scuffle Of Legends!, debuting with Groudon as well. Team Magma and Team Aqua were competing to gain both legendaries. Team Aqua, as it turned out, tricked Magma leader, Maxie by taking Kyogre even after they had Groudon. Then soon things started to get hectic when Archie, Aqua leader, siced Kyogre at Team Magma, but it got out of control and possessed him. Then it was chaotic as Kyogre was rampaging throughout the ocean. Until Ash's Pikachu, taken over by the Blue Orb, shocked Groudon's cargo container and released Groudon to fight against Kyogre. It turned out that Groudon was the nice one, using the Blue Orb to make Pikachu release it to help Ash and friends. After that the orbs were placed into rest and all was well again. Kyogre also made an appearance in the ninth Pokemon movie, Manaphy, Prince of the Sea, where it was kind of like Manaphy's "steed."

Obtainable Versions
Kyorge is obtainable in Sapphire, Emerald, and HeartGold through normal means. Trading a Kyogre into SoulSilver and showing both it and Groudon to Professor Oak allows the player to catch Rayquaza.

Name Origin
Kyogre's name originates from Kai, which means ocean. Ogres are mythical beasts, but it's unlikely the reason Kyogre's name ends in ogre. It's probably because it's a big beast that which the suffix ogre makes sense. Without the "Ogre" part, it spells out Kaiō, which means King of the Sea. Also, Kaiō is the first four letters of the word Kaiōsei which means Neptune, the Roman version of the Greek god of the sea.
