Shell Bell |
The best ability for Groudon in Tera Raid Battles is Drought. This can help in mitigating damage from Water-type moves while also powering up the team's Fire-Type moves.
We also recommend getting a Groudon with a Ground Tera type to boost the power of your Ground-Type moves. As a Physical Attacker, Adamant nature would be best.
Best Tera Types: Best Pokemon to Terastallize
Tera Raid EV spreads should lean towards Bulky Offense. Max out your HP and Atk EVs, while adding the remaining EVs into Def. Give it a Shell Bell to help Groudon recover HP when dealing damage.
Groudon Tera Raid Turn-by-Turn Counter Strategy | |
---|---|
Turns 1-3 | Use Swords Dance to max out your attack. |
Turn 4 | Use Will-O-Wisp to lower the opponent's physical attacks. |
Turns 5+ | If Will-O-Wisp misses, follow up with a Stomping Tantrum. If it doesn't, use Precipice Blades instead. |
Turns 5+ | Keep using Precipice Blades to attack and use Stomping Tantrum if you miss. Once you have enough Tera Orb charges, terastallize and keep alternating between the two moves. |
Start the Raid by using Swords Dance to buff Groudon's Attack. You can then use Will-O-Wisp to lower the opponent's Physical Damage output.
The main bread and butter of this build is Stomping Tantrum's ability to double its base power if a move used before it misses. By using Precipice Blades
along with Stomping Tantrum, Groudon will have consistent access to high power Ground-type moves!
Damage Comparison vs Earthquake |
|
---|---|
Earthquake(+6 Atk, Ground Tera) 2,004 ~ 2,360 (26.3 ~ 31%) |
|
Precipice Blades(+6 Atk, Ground Tera) 2,404 ~ 2,832 (31.6 - 37.2%) |
|
Stomping Tantrum (Previous Move Missed)(+6 Atk, Ground Tera) 3,008 ~ 3,540 (39.5 ~ 46.5%) |
Super Effective (2x) |
|
---|---|
Not Very Effective (x0.5) | |
No Effect (x0) |
This Groudon Tera Raid Build is an effective counter to Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, and Steel Type Tera Raid Bosses. If the Tera Raid Boss is usually a Water or Grass Type outside of Terastallization, perhaps consider a different build, as Groudon will be weak to these Types as a Ground-Type attacker.

If the Groudon build you are following requires it to have a different Tera type, you will need to have 50 Tera Shards of the type you need, and bring it to Medali to have your Pokemon's Tera Type changed.
If it has a different nature, you can use Adamant Mint to change its nature to Adamant.
The easiest way to get this is by buying it from the Chansey Supply shop at Mesagoza for ₽20,000.
