Groudon (Japanese: グラードン Groudon) is a legendary Ground-type. Possessing the ability to expand continents, in ancient times it came in conflict with Kyogre, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans.

In Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Emerald, Groudon is sought after by Team Magma as part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of Pokémon Ruby, appearing on the boxart.

Biology

Physiology

Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land, as shown by the rocky plates on its back. It is colored red, possibly a reference to its relation with volcanoes. Its body is modeled after a behemoth, a creature of legends that ruled the land.

Gender differences

Groudon is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Groudon has the Ability Drought, which causes constant bright sunlight similar to the effects of Sunny Day whenever the Pokémon is in battle. Like Kyogre, the strong sunlight lasts for 5 turns after Groudon leaves the battle.

  • Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the Ruby Field. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an eruption to surround itself in pillers of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.

Trivia

Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon in existence. Its weight is a little over a ton.

According to legend, Groudon is the creator of land while Kyogre created the oceans. The two began fighting and so Rayquaza stepped in to quell the two beasts.

Origin

Groudon is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the behemoth, the gigantic primeval master of all land creatures. Its counterpart was the leviathan.

Name origin

Groudon's name appears to be a combination of ground and don, which is Spanish for lord — hence, lord of the ground.
