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.

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.

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