Before you battle Groudon, however, it’s a good idea to know both its weaknesses and counters to ensure that you defeat it. Like all legendary Pokémon, Groudon appears in five-stars raids and, to defeat it, you’ll need to battle alongside a group of trainers, which you can now do from home thanks to the Remote Raids passes. On this page:
Groudon type - Ground-type Groudon is weak against - Grass, ice and water-type Pokémon Groudon counters - Gyarados, Swampert, Kyogre, Mamoswine, Weavile, Glaceon, Roserade, Tangrowth and Alolan Exeggutor Other Groudon counters - It’s important to remember that, due to being a ground-type Pokémon, Groudon can’t damage flying-type Pokémon. That said, flying-type Pokémon will not deal any additional damage to Groudon.

The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Unlike the majority of legendary trios or groups, the weather trio does not live in harmony. Instead, Groudon and Kyorge quickly fall into conflict due to their opposing natures - Groudon being one with the land, Kyorge with the sea. It’s Rayquaza, the trio master, who has to stop their battle before it causes chaos.
In the remakes of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire - Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire - both Groudon and Kyorge gained the Primal Reversion ability, which allowed them to return to their original forms. This is basically a version of Mega Evolution and it’s currently unknown whether the Primal versions of Groudon or Kyorge will appear in Pokémon Go.
