Moves
TMs carry this one. Kyogre learns Water Spout and Hydro Pump naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Rock and Normal and beyond give it real matchup play.

Kyogre Guide
In FireRed & LeafGreen, Kyogre is a Legendary Pokemon rated A-Tier. At 670 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. Base 150 Sp. Atk stands out.
In FireRed & LeafGreen, Kyogre's biggest threats include Raikou (Electric) and Breloom (Grass), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Kyogre has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Drizzle is what you want on Kyogre. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. Drizzle synergizes with Kyogre's base 140 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.
Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Kyogre is a special attacker with base 150 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wallbreaker.
In FireRed & LeafGreen, the best way to handle Kyogre: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
