===Gameplay===

====In battle====

In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|orb]]. Like [[Mega Stone]]s, orbs cannot be removed during battle if held by the appropriate Pokémon. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], however, the player does not need a [[Key Stone]] or have to manually trigger Primal Reversion; it will simply happen automatically after the Pokémon enters battle and after any [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] take effect, but before the activation of [[weather]]-changing {{Abilities}}.

In a [[Rotation Battle]], the Pokémon will only undergo Primal Reversion if it is sent out in the primary position; the Primal Reversion will not activate if the Pokémon is sent out in a secondary position at the start of the battle and then rotated to the primary position. Also, unlike Mega Evolution and [[Ultra Burst]], there is no limit to the number of times a Primal Reversion may be performed per battle.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were summoned and controlled by {{an|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} along with the [[Pokémon of Myth]] and {{p|Kyurem}} to attack {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Hoopa Confined, a {{Shiny}} Rayquaza, and the [[Eon duo]] in [[Dahara City]].

Primal Kyogre appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]''. Despite [[Shelly]]'s insistence not to, Archie awakened it nonetheless in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. It proceeded to cause destruction across [[Hoenn]], and eventually prepared to attack Archie and Shelly.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre both appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PE06|The Wish]]''. They were shown battling before being calmed by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}} as [[Zinnia]] told the story of the [[Draconid people]] to {{ga|May}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===

[[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] used the Red and Blue Orbs to transform {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} into their primal forms in order to help save the {{pkmn|world}} from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] headed for the planet. After some training at the [[Meteor Falls]], both Primal Pokémon managed to master their special moves; {{m|Precipice Blades}} and {{m|Origin Pulse}}, respectively. However, both ancient Pokémon, even when assisted by {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, completely exhausted themselves while destroying a large piece of the meteoroid falling before the main body, causing them to revert to their regular forms.
