Groudon (Japanese:
グラードン Groudon) is a
Ground-type legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Groudon possesses 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
Emerald Versions, 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
Ruby, appearing on the boxart.
Groudon is the second of the
Weather trio.
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 massive, armored body is modeled after a behemoth, a creature of legends and religious texts (particularly the Bible) that ruled the land. However, the behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way that
Kyogre is not based on traditional depictions of the leviathan, Groudon's design may be based on lizards or various dinosaurs, specifically a T-Rex, which could explain why it is biped. It has red armor plating with a gray belly and sharp white spikes running from its head down to its tail. It has three large sharp toenails on each foot.
Gender differences
Groudon is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Groudon
emanates heat, evaporating surrounding water and causing constant
bright sunlight similar to the effects of
Sunny Day. The sunlight lasts even after Groudon has left the vicinity. It is thought to have been the creator of land in the
Pokémon world. It can heat up the air around it to cause static charge, enabling it to use some electric moves.
Behavior
Slow, stoic, and heavy (2094 pounds--a little over a ton), this super-heavyweight created the land, according to Hoenn legend. It sleeps underground in magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. It is said to appear before those with shining silver spirits.
Habitat
Groudon sleeps miles below the ground (occasionally in deep, hot magma pockets), and is therefore nearly impossible to find in the wild without awakening it.
