Robo Groudon

Robo Groudon

The Robo Groudon is a robotic machine invented by Dr. Kaminko that appears in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

Story

When the player goes to the laboratory to upgrade the scooter to access Cipher's new lair, Chobin mistakes them for a burglar, and engages them in battle. Afterwards, Dr. Kaminko appears, and Chobin explains everything to him. After departing, Kaminko tells Chobin to go fetch the Robo Groudon to give the player what they deserve. By answering "No" to Kaminko's advice on fleeing, a robotic Groudon gets transported from a basement level of Kaminko's Lab, and it appear from the big fountain in front of Kaminko's Lab, with Chobin inside, challenging the player to a battle.

After Michael wins against Robo Groudon, it ceases to move and it starts smoking from its mouth. After the humiliating failure of Robo Groudon, Dr. Kaminko decides to stop creating Robo Pokémon, and aborts his Robo Kyogre project, and has Makan haul it away. Chobin asks Kaminko if he can have the Robo Groudon, seeing how Kaminko would have had Makan haul it away as well. Kaminko lets Chobin keep Robo Groudon, and it remains in Dr. Kaminko's Lab until Chobin fixes it, when he emails the player when he's finished fixing it to challenge the player to a rematch. Robo Groudon still has the same problems it had during its initial battle.

Features

Like the name suggests, Robo Groudon is large robot that greatly resembles the Legendary Pokémon Groudon. However, it has none of the powers or abilities of the aforementioned legendary, and its only known abilities are just simple movements like walking, roaring without sound, and throwing the operator's Poké Ball from its right arm, although all these actions are much less than elegant, even when it's just standing still.

Robo Groudon contains a cockpit in its abdomen where Chobin, the operator, sits and controls it with an array of controls levers inside. Chobin also installed an air conditioner and a reclining seat inside the cockpit after being defeated by Michael twice.

Robo Groudon is sort of shoddily built: its movements are rough, its limbs jerk around during battle, it occasionally throws off some sparks, and it starts smoking shortly after it's defeated by Michael.

Pokémon

While inside the Robo Groudon, Chobin will battle the player with the following Pokémon. This battle differs from the previous battle with Chobin, who evolves his Sunkern and gets his Tropius and Hoppip from inside of the Lab for this battle:

Trivia

• The music that plays during the battle against Robo Groudon is the same as the music that plays when Michael battles a Cipher Administrator or a Mt. Battle Area Leader.
• Despite Chobin's repairs to the Robo Groudon, it still has the same problems that it had during Michael's first battle against it.

Edit: Robo Groudon can be battled more than two times. The first time, it plays the same music that was first introduced when battling Cipher Admin Lovrina or if you did some training first on Mt. Battle, it is the music that was first introduced when battling Area Leader Vander. If he is battled again, the music will return to its normal default music. When you come from Citadark Isle before beating Greevil, because if you do, you'll have to wait for the Chobin round in the Orre Colosseum after restoring the Pokemon's voices all over the Orre region, you can battle him as many times as you like and he'll have the same music that he had when you first faced him to obtain your sister Jovi as he thought you were a burglar back then. I am not making this up guys. I have experienced something weird and I have no video camera to prove it. I was in a rush and that's what happens when we rush just to get to a glitch. His Pokemon will be at the same levels they were from when you last battled him until you battle him at the Orre Colosseum where his final team will be levels 60 to 100 depending on your highest Pokemon level on your team.
