PvE Analysis

Shadow Kyogre is a living flood of a Pokemon. While it can't quite keep up with its Primal forme (but nothing does, in all fairness), it's still an outstandingly strong Shadow Pokemon, and an absolute master of the Water Type meta, standing (swimming?) head-and-shoulders above the competition. 
Best PvE Offensive Moveset
﻿Waterfall + Origin Pulse*Best
﻿Waterfall + Blizzard or Thunder﻿Situational
Origin Pulse* is Shadow Kyogre's best Charged Attack, with STAB and synergy with Waterfall.
Surf is slightly worse, but still a solid option.
Hydro Pump falls behind slightly, but is still ok if there's no TMs available. 
Blizzard and Thunder are optimal in few situations and don't combo with Waterfall.

Waterfall + Origin Pulse*	Best
Waterfall + Blizzard or Thunder	Situational

PvP Analysis

﻿Waterfall + Surf and Thunder or Blizzard or Origin Pulse*Best
Waterfall sports a strong damage output backed by STAB, but suffers from below average energy gains. 
Surf is mandatory due to its low energy cost and general power. Thunder gives you more power in the mirror match, whereas Blizzard gives you a powerful hit against Dragon-types in the lategame. Origin Pulse is an incredible move thanks to its very high DPE, but Shadow Kyogre often finds itself dealing sufficient Water damage with just Waterfall and Surf, and would often rather have a coverage option to find opportunities to flip matchups with.
Great League1.5 / 5
Shadow Kyogre is a fragile option that can deal heavy Water-type Fast Attack damage. Unfortunately, there are many Water-type options in the Great League, and Kyogre's overall poor stats don't quite hold up.
Ultra League1 / 5
Kyogre's high ATK stat means that any restriction will leave it extremely hamstrung, leaving it weaker than most other Water types in the tier. Pokemon like Politoed, Swampert, Empoleon, and Blastoise are strictly superior sources of Water-type damage. Kyogre struggles against the ubiquitous Giratina, and its Blizzard is far too slow to a reliable countermeasure.
Master League4.5 / 5
A combination of strong all around stats, good typing, and consistent damage output allows Kyogre to shine in the Master League. Against opponents that don't resist Water, Kyogre can often be oppressive due to the unrelenting assault from Waterfall and Surf. However, Dragon-types are very common, curbing Kyogre's potential rampage. Big metagame threats such as Dialga, both forms of Giratina, Palkia, Zarude, and Zekrom are all obstacles Kyogre will often be running into. Despite these issues, it is easy to find teammates that cover a vast majority of them. Pokemon like Dialga, Togekiss, Dragon Tail Groudon, and Zacian are adept at covering Kyogre's issues, and Kyogre's strengths also help cover their issues in return. Even the aforementioned problematic Pokemon have to tread carefully around Kyogre, because a well timed Blizzard is almost certainly a lights out for them.
