How to Get Groudon

Groudon may be found in Ramanas Park by using the Tectonic Slate. Be sure to save your game directly in front of the pedestal if you plan on soft-resetting for a good nature.

How to Catch and Best Pokemon to Use

Groudon Encounter in Ramanas Park
Groudon	Lv.: 70	Ability: Drought
	Moveset
	Hammer Arm Fissure Rest Precipice Blades

We recommend bringing a Pokemon that is higher than Level 70 when trying to catch Groudon. Fissure will not work if your Pokemon is a higher level than Groudon.

In addition, Groudon is one of the harder Pokemon to lock down due to its capability to restore its HP with Rest. Having a quick way to whittle it back down can be just as useful as preventing it from resting.

Best Catcher Pokemon

Best Catcher Pokemon
Blastoise		Absol
Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers	Recommended Lv. 70+	Item: Leftovers
Recommended Moves:		Recommended Moves:
False Swipe Yawn Waterfall		False Swipe Taunt

When facing Groudon, we recommend using either Blastoise with Yawn and False Swipe, or Absol with False Swipe. These Pokemon give you a reliable way to whittle down the opponent's HP as low as possible, and access to a status-inflicting move to improve catch rates.

Blastoise can be the best choice here thanks to its bulk. Ideally you'd like to bring down Groudon's HP with Waterfall while the sun is still up so it won't deal as much damage. Make it drowsy with Yawn before False Swiping it down to 1 HP. If you're lucky you can catch it before it wakes up and potentially restores HP with Rest.

Alternatively, bringing in a Pokemon like Absol and using Taunt to prevent Groudon from falling asleep is also a viable strategy to maximize your chances of catching it.

Best Balls to Use

In case a Quick Ball on turn 1 did not succeed, the Ultra Ball is a reliable go-to ball to use instead. If you are facing Groudon at night, Dusk Balls become the better option.

If about a dozen turns have passed, you may also rely on the Timer Ball for higher success rates of capture.

Adamant or Jolly Natures are Best

List of Recommended Natures
Adamant Attack ↑ Special Attack ↓	Jolly Speed↑ Special Attack ↓

For players who intend to use Groudon to its full potential, we recommend looking for one with an Adamant or Jolly Nature. As a Physical Attacker, It would appreciate the increase to either its Attack or Speed and not mind the drop in its Special Attack stat.
