Is Kyogre the best water type pokemon?

Yes and no. It's restricted to ubers because of it being too good. Pick Gyarados or Milotic for standard.

To me Kyogre is the best water type and always will be. It is different for every trainer, like True_Eriorguez said its an obber and and a lot of paople don't use it for that reason.

No, I think Vaporeon is. But that's just me. ^_^ Kyogre is good and all, but being uber and whatnot, it's overused. It's also pretty easy to beat, if you have the right Pokemon with you. Personally, I just fry it up to make soup using my Magneton. ;082;

I like Swampert or Starmie better for OU.

And yes, there's a reason why Kyogre is the only Water-type Uber. It's because it's the only Water-type powerful enough to be categorized as Uber, which means that it's also the best Water-type, battle-wise. Of course, some people who play favorites (ho hum) will tell you otherwise; I'm surprised ShinyManafi didn't say the Manaphy is the best Water-type.

Actually its only cause I haven't actually used a Manaphy yet, so I don't know how good Manaphy is, anyway, Kyogre has a relation to Manaphy

Statistically and battlewise- duh...

As for my favorite wise- Hell no! Hell will freeze over the day I ever pick that oversized, spectical-wearing shark over my beloved Gyarados and Kingdra.

Depends. If it knows a good moveset. Anyway, I don't like it 100%.

Pretty much but only b/c it's legendary. Parukia'll knock it out, but that's just my opinion.
 
Water types I have trained in the past.

Swampert
Gyardos
Blastoise
Kingler
Feraligatr
Crawdaunt
Cloyster
Walrein
Lapras
Poliwrath
Starmie
Slowbro
Vaporeon
Tentacruel
Kyogre

Yes, so any of these, In my opinion I would say are good water Pokemon.

No doubt Kyogre is the strongest water type out there - was the main reason i chose Sapphire over Ruby (Groudon = lame).

Haha, you're kidding right? Groudon is at the top of the uber list-yes, stronger than Kyogre. Groudon is a better pokemon to have on a team. Any water pokemon can replace Kyogre. Kyogre has alot of unneeded power. Starmie could go in there and do just as good. Groudon, however, is a team player and he can benfit your whole team. You can use more variety on your team with him. Definetly much more variety then a bunch of water and electric pokemon. :/

In short, battlewise- Groudon is better than Kyogre and you can ask any competitive battler, and they'll say the same.
