I mean, everyone has their preferences, but...

Godzilla with the power to make entire continents.
Or
Orca.

Not much competition there. I like rayquaza more than both, but voted for groudon, to answer the actual question. Kyogre's primal form just can't keep up with groudon's now that he only has a ground weakness.

Definitely the best pair of mascots for any pair of Pokemon games IMO. My favourite legendary has always been Kyogre though since playing Sapphire.

Psywing December 5th, 2014 5:03 PM

Groudon for looks and Kyogre for usefulness and sheer power.
That said, I almost always go for looks, so I voted for Groudon. Come on, look at it, it looks so threatening. Kyogre looks like a derpy whale or, depending on the angle, a giant man boob with wings..XD

Nakala Pri December 5th, 2014 9:41 PM

DEFINITELY Groudon over Kyogre!! I find a spotted whale slightly more boring then a massive titan Pokemon that can heat up the world until it's like an overdone piece of popcorn.

What can Kyogre do? Drown everything? Being crisped is more scary then drowning.

But I prefer Rayquaza to them both. Even though it's Mega-thingy is like Alakazam's old pal from the bingo club, I like it's Oriental design and I always found it was one of the more forgotten legendaries, making it even more interesting! :D

As much as I love Groudon, I'd have to say that Rayquaza and its mega form take the cake, IMO.

JoshJMC16 December 6th, 2014 6:05 AM

I really love both Legendaries and Gen 3 is one of my favourite generations, but I mean come on your asking me to choose Willy or Godzilla basically.

Ground on can destroy anything and now that his Primal is resistant to water he is a monster.

Yes I did buy AS first but that is because I prefer Aqua to Magma. However when I pick up Ruby you can bet that Groudon will be a mainstay in my team.

Grou-wow is clearly cooler, but Kyogie is typically better in battle. Though the new abilities change that.

Gordon was lv.99 in my Ruby 12 years ago.

pkmin3033 December 6th, 2014 8:04 AM

Well, when I was younger I was immediately drawn to Groudon, although my preferences have shifted over to Kyogre...for one thing, it has nicer plushies. Groudon plushies look horribly squashed and deformed. For two, I've always found it more useful. I guess the new abilities change that, but I don't play competitively, so it doesn't make much difference to me.

I prefer the rain to the sun anyway, that probably has something to do with it as well. Groudon brings with it weather I can't stand. But in terms of design I think they're about equal. As version mascots go, I'd say they're better than Reshiram/Zekrom and Xerneas/Yveltal, but not as cool as Dialga/Palkia.

SparklingMistral December 12th, 2014 6:18 PM

Groudon for me. It just seems more unique to me than Kyogre, which kinda reminds me of a whale.

Xela December 12th, 2014 7:50 PM

Sapphire was the first Pokémon game of the 3rd generation that I played and thus I am heavily biased towards Kyogre, but I do really like Groudon's appearance as well.

jombii December 12th, 2014 9:08 PM

Initially, I wanted Kyogre back in RSE days. I never had the chance to play Sapphire so I got sick of Groudon, and wanted a Kyorgre. But now, I'm more for Groudon because of OR and its Primal form.

Angelroid December 13th, 2014 1:49 AM

I like them both, it's all on the person as well.

Mark Kamill December 13th, 2014 2:02 AM

Groudon and Primal Groudon. I love the oozing lava monster look more then the see-through orca. Not to mention primal groudon gets rid of the moobs.

Pepperton December 14th, 2014 12:00 PM

Kyogre is superior in EVERY way. I love its design too. Groudon is quite the cool legendary as well though, definitely not bad. Just not as amazing as Kyogre.

Sheep December 14th, 2014 6:24 PM

I voted both! Kind of surprising how there were only three others before me who didn't want to pick between the two.

Kyogre is dear to my heart since Sapphire was my first version and I trained it a lot as a kid. It was very bulky and fun to use, especially in secret base teams when I mixed records with a friend constantly to get our data over in each other's games. I'll always prefer it design-wise.

Groudon has really redeemed itself in ORAS though, with its awesome ability and overall design in primal reversion. It's really creepy to boot so I just.. want to love both and will love both. Such awesome mascots.

Bounsweet December 14th, 2014 6:55 PM

While Kyogre has never been my favorite legendary, I've always had a bit of a "that's one cool ass fish" mentality about it lol. I hold it high respects as Sapphire Version is probably one of my most nostalgic Pokémon games lmao

This is exacly what i think xD, now with his new ablitity of the primal form, he just takes down kyogre easlily.
You are not going to choose the blue fat whale instead of the cool lava dino xD

Skymethus December 15th, 2014 2:49 PM

I'll have to say, KYOGRE, THE BEAST OF OCEANS, THE RAGING KING, Sorry Groudon, even though your just a Ground type, you're not loveable to me, and Kyogre has a wonderful design, and it's primal form is just incredible, let KYOGRE RISE! LEVEL 100 KYOGRES!

mikey December 18th, 2014 3:48 PM

I love them both, which is rare for me in terms of legendaries. And I love both of their new primal forms too equally. If I had to choose, I guess I would pick Kyogre. Idk, its a hard decision for me lmao.

Karajan December 18th, 2014 11:55 PM

I love both Rayquaza and Kyogre. Now that Rayquaza has a mega, it's even more awesome than it had been in the past. Above all, it's my absolute favorite legendary.

kanariya December 19th, 2014 7:01 AM

Groudon for me since I don't like the color blue... so even though I like Kyogre's design better - but since it's blue I always tend to say I like Groudon better.

Jayce December 19th, 2014 10:20 AM

Groudon, man. Kyogre's still cool and I have nothing against them, but Ruby was the first pokemon game I really had to myself (my brother and I also shared a copy for Crystal for a while), and I generally just prefer Fire types to Water. His design is also just a lot better, imo.

Warugaji December 31st, 2014 6:02 AM

Kyogre usually stomps Groudon flat because of typing. Groudon was giving solar beam with no need for re-charge to help deal with Kyogre, but unfortunately was given Atk>Sp.Atk build so it doesn't really do a lot. If Groudon had also been a special attacker it would have been a total monster!

I like both. I prefer Groudon but admit that Kyogre is factually superior in most regards.

luo xiang December 31st, 2014 7:23 AM

Groudon because he was my first legendary that i got by myself. :D
