Pokémon Go Groudon counters, weaknesses and moveset explained
Groudon, also known as the continent Pokémon, is one of the many legendary Pokémon that make appearances as raid bosses in Pokémon Go.
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.

Everything we know about Groudon
Alongside Kyorge and Rayquaza, Groudon is a member of the legendary weather trio, which originates in Gen 3.
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.
