      Ah Dynamix...yet another new gameplay mechanic in pokemon that's going to almost exclusively be used to give more broken overpoweredness to already broken legendary pokemon to the point of monotony just like Mega Evolution and Z Moves instead of their intended purpose of varying things up.

      Tbh Primal Kyogre isn't incredibly op as its Choiced sets. The only reason why Primal Kyogre is more viable is because it can cancel Primal Groudon's weather. If P-don gets banned, Choiced Kyogre would be the king of ubers again, with mixed Primal Kyogre only appearing from time to time.
      Primal Groudon and Mega Ray are definitely overpowered though.

Leaving lave plume and rest as Groudon’s only usable moves, as for Gyarados, it could only use crunch and ice fang.

      In the anime, Groudon fought Kyogre with Solarbeam.
      In competitive, Primal Groudon tends to have the overall advantage against Primal Kyogre. Reason being that while Kyogre is effectively neutered in the sun and is forced to fall back on Ice Beam for damage, Groudon's Precipice Blades is still astronomically powerful, sun or rain, and gets STAB. Thus Groudon is still a very threatening foe in heavy rain.

    Groudon was my first legendary since Ruby was my first game.

I decided to look it up and found out that Pokémon was a much more complicated game than nine-year-old me could have ever possibly imagined.
