Pretty standard set. Protect, a near mandatory move on most Pokémon in doubles, blocks all non-Dynamax attacks for a turn. Water Spout is absurdly strong STAB when Kyogre is above 70% of it's maximum HP and hits both opponents. Origin Pulse or Hydro Pump are to be used when Kyogre is weakened to the point where they do more damage than Water Spout (reminder that spread moves such as Water Spout and Origin Pulse have their power cut by 25% in doubles). Go for Origin Pulse if you want spread damage, and Hydro Pump if you want single target damage and / or you are wary of Wide Guard (which blocks all spread moves). Thunder is coverage and has perfect accuracy in the rain summoned by Drizzle. Sitrus Berry is a great item in doubles, instantly healing health, which can potentially allow Kyogre to survive a double up from the opponents and restore Water Spout's lost power. Alternatively, go with a Mystic Water to increase your water move's power without sacrificing Water Spout's power or the right to change moves without switching.
Tornadus-I is a great ally, as it can provide Tailwind support, allowing Kyogre to outspeed every non-boosted Pokemon in the metagame, and has it's Hurricane made impossible to miss thanks to the rain.
