>>37277501>it can still fuck Groudon even when the sun is upGroudon can also hit Kyogre's weakspot, its 90 DEF, regardless of the weather. Before, both Pokemon had ways of battling each other even without the weather on their side, but Primal Kyogre can't touch Primal Groudon at all unless the rain is up, and even in the primordeal sea Primal Groudon can still fight back.
>Kyogre's best move is boosted by rainThat also means it's more reliant on rain. Primal Groudon got a +20 BP Earthquake and +30 Attack, Primal Kyogre got +5% accuracy and 10 PP for a move that still can't hit Primal Groudon through Desolate Land. How is that fair? (it's not)
>Kyogre won 2016 while Groudon didn't.With help from Rayquaza, which speaks more to rain's risk/reward and how Kyogre relies on it because of its mono STAB.
In singles, Primal Kyogre's only role is to chase away Primal Groudon, who is often too important as a Xerneas check to give up. In doubles, it becomes a liability because teams need to rely on it staying out. If you have Primal Kyogre and Ferrothorn, a Grass type opponent can force a double switch. There was much more flexibility with regular Kyogre and permanent rain.
