Kyogre was first introduced in the Pokemon universe through the third generation games that took place in the Hoenn region. It has God-level status amongst the locals of Hoenn. It has spread the oceans across the world while doing so, it also came into conflict with Groudon a couple of times.

Kyogre and Groudon often fought real hard; to stop this, Rayquaza had to come in and intervene every time. Kyogre also can revert to its primal form, which is even scarier and more potent than its standard form.

Trivia

all its glory but also Shelly and Matt swimming beside it. Kyogre is known to be a gentle giant to many who have come in contact with it. It has survived all this time by hiding in trenches under the ocean.

The Basic Kyogre card features the move surf, which is a pretty decent movie. The Pokedex entry on the card comes from Pokemon Y!

Illustrator

Ryuta Fuse has illustrated the card. As we can see, the card also features two trainers in it, adding to the card’s details. The theme of having a trainer besides the Pokemon can be seen throughout many of Ryuta’s cards. They are also responsible for a lot of trainer cards as well which are really popular nowadays.

Other notable cards from Ryuta fuse is the Charizard basic from Vivid Voltage and Rayquaza V from evolving skies. The Rayquaza V is a glorious card as you can see and probably the best Rayquaza illustrations of all time. You can see the scale of the Pokemon when a human stands besides them.

Hence Ryuta’s cards do a great job of showing the massive sizes of Pokemon.
