Choice Scarf Kyogre trades the defensive utility or wallbreaking prowess of other sets for the ability to revenge kill common threats such as Zacian-C, Arceus-Ground, and Deoxys-A. A max power rain-boosted Water Spout is always capable of OHKOing the aforementioned Pokemon and deals significant damage to all neutral targets, having good odds to OHKO Necrozma-DM and, with the help of hazards, most Arceus formes. Additionally, Water Spout can 2HKO Miraidon, preventing it from switching in. Origin Pulse is Kyogre's best STAB move if Water Spout's power is weakened as Surf is unable to reliably OHKO crucial targets such as Ho-Oh. Ice Beam hits Koraidon hard and is the only way for Kyogre to damage Clodsire. Thunder's perfect accuracy in rain and chance to paralyze foes makes it a safe move to use without the need for prediction, and it almost always 2HKOs Arceus-Water and opposing Kyogre, which resist Kyogre's other moves. A Timid nature with a Choice Scarf enables Kyogre to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame and is necessary to outspeed Zacian-C, Kyogre's most important target to revenge kill. Tera Water provides a considerable power increase to Kyogre's STAB moves allowing it to overpower its checks and clean up weakened teams. For example, even the bulkiest Eternatus has a chance to be 2HKOed by Tera Water boosted Water Spout.

Because of its vulnerability to entry hazards and lack of defensive investment, Choice Scarf Kyogre requires dedicated support from its teammates to be effective. Kyogre should avoid taking damage at all costs as Water Spout's base power is directly tied to Kyogre's health, so hazard control and pivot support are both invaluable to this set. Giratina-O and Corviknight can provide Defog support and handle Extreme Speed Arceus for Kyogre. Koraidon and Miraidon can bring Kyogre in safely with U-turn and appreciate Kyogre threatening their common switch-ins such as Ho-Oh, Ting-Lu, Gliscor, and Arceus-Ground. Koraidon and Kyogre together can also help overwhelm Arceus-Water, which can usually handle them individually. Choice Scarf Kyogre's ability to revenge kill Zacian-C gives teammates like Koraidon and Necrozma-DM the option to run setup sets that might otherwise struggle into teams with Zacian-C. Dragon Dance Necrozma-DM is an especially great partner as it turns Choice Scarf Kyogre's two most difficult defensive answers, Clodsire and defensive Eternatus, into setup fodder. A reliable Koraidon answer like Arceus-Fairy is helpful with this set since Koraidon can take Kyogre's STAB moves without fear and deal significant damage in return or setup with Swords Dance. Although Miraidon cannot safely switch into Kyogre, it can easily threaten to KO it with a super-effective Electric-type move, so Ground-types like Arceus-Ground, Ting-Lu, Gliscor, and Clodsire are good partners. The latter three can set hazards, aiding Kyogre in softening foes that aren't relying on Heavy-Duty Boots

A max power rain-boosted Water Spout is always capable of OHKOing the aforementioned Pokemon and deals significant damage to all neutral targets, having good odds to OHKO Necrozma-DM and, with the help of hazards, Arceus forms (first off it's "formes" for Arceus, second I think this sounds way too vague, I'd rather you change the wording so it's obvious that you mean Arceus formes that are hit for neutral or just say "most Arceus formes"). Additionally, Water Spout can 2HKO Miraidon, preventing it from switching in against Choice Scarf Kyogre. (since this is about CS you don't need to repeat yourself) Origin Pulse is Kyogre's best STAB move if Water Spout's power is weakened as Surf is unable to reliably OHKO crucial targets such as Ho -Oh. Ice Beam hits Koraidon hard and is the only way for Kyogre to damage Clodsire. Thunder almost always 2HKOs Arceus-Water and opposing Kyogre, which resist Kyogre's other moves.

did some GP cleaning as well because the content was good. Some things are left unchanged because I'm too ESL to fix them. Great job!
