Grants a Shield
Defeating Groudon grants Pokemon a shield that absorbs incoming damage.
Provides Massive Attack Boost and Increases Goal-Scoring Speed
Defeating Groudon grants Pokemon a massive Attack boost and increases their goal-scoring speed! Use this to your advantage and push towards the enemy base.
Can Get Stolen
However, when a Pokemon with Groudon's buff get knocked out by an opposing Pokemon, the buff will be transferred to that Pokemon.
If you have the buff, be careful not to get knocked out, since you'll be giving your opponents a chance to make a comeback.
If your opponents have the buff, it's always better to attempt to steal it from them to increase your chances of making a comeback.
Effects are Active as Long as the Buff is Present
As long as you have the buff, its effects are always active, so make the most out of it but be careful when fighting opponents, since they can steal it.
Full Points Only Given to Final Hit
The full 30-points carried by Groudon is only be given to the player who dealt the final hit. On top of that, allied Pokemon will also be given 15 points.
However, if that player's Aeos Energy is at full capacity when it defeats Groudon, the points are dropped instead and can be picked up by other players.
Strategy to Beat Groudon
| Timestamp | Suggested Strategy |
|---|---|
| 3:00~ | • Reserve Unite Moves in preparation for the Groudon fight. • Avoid committing to other objectives unless your team has a significant lead in EXP and points. |
| 2:15~ | • Group with your allies near the center of the map. Position ranged allies at a safe distance. • Take out at least one enemy before grouping if you can, but only if they overextend and have no backup. |
| 2:00~ | When team is winning • Try to avoid Groudon's attacks to preserve HP. • Do not use moves towards Groudon. Instead, focus on using them to knock down an opponent if they get too close to Groudon for a chance to burst them down. • If your team manages to defeat the majority of the enemy team, quickly turn your focus on Groudon and capture it. This way, you will cut off any opportunity for the opposing team to bounce back. |
| When team is losing • Wait in the Tall Grass near the Groudon's spawn location until allies are gathered. • Use camera controls to observe Groudon. When its HP drops in half, rally your team and give everything you got to defeat the opposing Pokemon. • Only fight Groudon when at least two or three opponents have yet to respawn. |
Adjust Offense Based on Attack Range
Once the match reaches the two-minute (2:00) mark, the wall above Groudon's spawn location will rise. This significantly hinders your targetting as the only point of entry will be in front of the boss Pokemon. It is best to approach the situation depending on your Pokemon's attack type so you can get the best value out of your attacks while also protecting you from unnecessary damage.
Face Directly with Melee Attacks
For melee Pokemon, your only entry point to Groudon will be the opening in front of the boss area. If your Pokemon has dash moves, you can jump over the walls to get in range quicker. For most situations, it is best not to get aggressive early on and rely on your ranged allies to provide suppressing fire.
Kite From Behind using Ranged Attacks
For ranged Pokemon, it is best to position them behind Groudon. This way, they will have full knowledge of Groudon's HP throughout the battle while also keeping them from getting flanked. They can then change targets on the fly, depending on the situation. Moreover, they will be able to kite down or even steal Groudon when they need to.
Optimize Your Attack Controls
You can set your attack controls to Advanced Attack Controls, which allows you to separate your basic attacks for opponents and Wild Pokemon. This ensures that all your attacks will be focused on either Groudon or an opponent when the situation demands it.
Targeting and Aim Assist: How to Aim Well
How to Steal Groudon
Snipe Down From Long Range
| Move | Pokemon | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
 Spirit Shackle
|
 Decidueye
|
Take advantage of Spirit Shackles multiple charges to deplete the objective's health. When its HP is low enough, shoot them down with a fully charged shot for a clean steal. |
 Pyro Ball
|
 Cinderace
|
Bombard the objective with Standard Attacks. When its HP is low enough, shoot them down with a Pyro Ball. It is best to aim for getting Blaze stacks first before using Pyro Ball. |
 Flash Cannon
|
 Duraludon
|
Position Duraludon behind Groudon and away from the clash. Plop down and keep attacking with Flash Cannon. Since attacks from the move are considered as Standard Attacks, you may be able to deal high amounts of damage with critical hits! |
Easy Secure With Burst Moves
| Move | Pokemon | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
 Hyper Beam
|
 Dragonite
|
Cycle between Boosted Attacks and Dragon Dance to charge up Hyper Beam to the max before bursting down the objective. |
 Brave Bird
or  Fly
|
 Talonflame
|
Utilize Brave Bird's long range to target the objective from afar and let the enemy do all the work. When the objective's HP is low enough, activate Brave Bird to swoop down and steal the objective. |
 Solar Beam
|
 Venusaur
|
Maneuver around the objective and constantly deal Standard Attacks. Once the objectives HP is low enough, burst them down with a Solar Beam. You can also line up the shot to hit the enemy team to get more value. |
 Solar Beam
|
 Mew
|
Like with Venusaur, Mew's Solar Beam functions the same way. We suggest dropping Light Screen first before shooting the beam to amplify the damage. |
Increase the Chance to Secure with AoE Moves
| Move | Pokemon | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
 Hyper Voice
|
 Sylveon
|
When the objective's HP falls low, activate Hyper Voice behind Groudon. The move's range will be enough to reach the target over the wall. The constant ticks of damage may be enough to get the last hit. |
 Sand Stream
|
 Tyranitar
|
Sand Stream's wide area is perfect for both pressuring the enemy team and increasing your chance to steal Groudon. Position Tyranitar in the middle of the fight and use moves to keep the triggering Sand Stream. |
 Fanciful Fireworks
|
 Delphox
|
Position Delphox away from the fight and activate Fanciful Fireworks when Groudon's HP falls low. Make place the move in the middle of the fight which will pressure melee enemies. |
Disable Opponents with Crowd Control Unite Moves
| Move | Pokemon | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
 Power Nap
|
 Snorlax
|
Soak up all the damage you can to protect your allies. Then, get in the middle of the battle near and position near the Groudon opening. Activate Power Nap to stun nearby enemies while also blocking their path for your allies to focus their attacks on Groudon. |
 Showtime!
|
 Mr. Mime
|
Jump in the middle of the clash and activate Showtime! and stun melee opponents. This will open them up for your allies to knock down and take them out of the fight. |
 Hydro Typhoon
|
 Blastoise
|
Position Blastoise in the middle of the fight and activate Hydro Typhoon to effectively reset the battlefield. Additionally, the blast can serve as a burst move for getting the last hit on Groudon. |
When to Take Groudon
Bounce Back From a Losing Match
If your team is behind in points during the final stretch of the match, securing Groudon should be a top priority. Defeating Groudon, combined with the double bonus points bonus in the last 2 minutes, is a great way to turn the tides of a match!
Ambush the Opposing Team
When the enemy team is contesting Groudon, capitalize on it by ambushing them from behind. Their moves will most likely be on cooldown and their HP is likely to have sustained damage. This will be the perfect time for your team to take them out of the battle and secure Groudon!
Additionally, when you see Groudon's HP almost depleted, you can swoop down with a move and hopefully get the final hit! Overall, stealing Groudon reward and effect is worth falling in battle for, especially if your team is behind.
Groudon Moves
Melee Attack
If a Pokemon gets close, Groudon will use its claws to perform a melee attack. Although this attack may not deal significant damage, taking too many hits can be dangerous if you are not careful.
Flamethrower
If a Pokemon is not in melee range, Groudon will attack with a breath of fire.
Rock Throw
Groudon summons a large boulder that will fall in the sky. You can easily dodge this move since there will be a red area on the ground where the boulder will fall.
Precipice Blades
After a few second of channeling, Groudon unleashes a wave of magma around itself, dealing damage and knocking Pokemon upwards.
Earthquake
Groudon releases four (4) pulses of light around itself, dealing damage to nearby Pokemon.
