It’s worth noting that with each Pokemon, their movesets significantly influence their effectiveness. For example, while the optimal movesets for several of these Pokemon have mostly Electric-type attacks, they also have non-Electric-type moves available. Similarly, while recommended movesets for Zarude consist of Grass-type attacks, it also has Dark-type moves as options. If you do not currently have any of these Pokemon, you can still arrange your party so that there are some Pokemon with either Grass or Electric-type moves. While these Pokemon are strong against Kyogre, any with these move types will deal considerable damage.
