The legendary Pokémon Kyogre is apparently about to release in Pokémon GO. The sprites for the normal and shiny versions are now being downloaded from the game.
The hints for the next legendary monster in Pokémon GO are intensifying. Trainers already assume that after Groudon, the monster Kyogre will be activated in the game. According to the lore, the two Pokémon have already engaged in a fierce battle. However, this historical connection is not the only reason the community expects Kyogre to release soon.

Kyogre release could happen soon
On Reddit, the well-known Pokémon GO data miner Chrales, who has previously found hints about Ho-Oh and the 3rd Gen, showed that there is news about Kyogre.
The images (sprites) of the normal and shiny forms for the legendary water Pokémon are now being downloaded. This is the last requirement that needed to be fulfilled before the monster can be released in the game. It could happen at any moment now.
To give you an idea of the monsters, we will show you the sprites that Chrales shared with the community on Reddit:
Although all requirements have been met, a release in the next few hours is not expected. The community believes that Kyogre will be released only after Groudon is removed as a raid boss. According to Niantic, Groudon will still be in the game until January 15 and is available as a raid boss in many gyms.
How it ends when these two powerful monsters meet is already known to fans of the series. For a refresher: The weather legends on Pokewiki.de
We suspect that Niantic will confirm the release of Kyogre in the coming days. These Pokémon from the 3rd generation have also not yet been released in Pokémon GO.
