Groudon (Japanese: グラードン Groudon; German: Groudon; French: Groudon; Korean: ???) 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 has the Ability Drought, which causes constant bright sunlight similar to the effects of Sunny Day whenever the Pokémon is in battle.

Groudon does not evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Name origin

Groudon's name appears to be a combination of "ground" and "don," Spanish for lord. Thus, it is the lord of the ground.

Groudon is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the behemoth, the gigantic primeival master of all land creatures. It's counterpart was the leviathan.
