Recommended moves

• Ground Attacker:Mud Shot Precipice Blades *

With time, the rise of several Shadow Pokémon and the introduction of new Mega Evolutions have pulled down Groudon’s dominant display in the Ground-type DPS standings. Make no mistake about it, Precipice Blades Groudon is still a strong option, but Landorus Therian, Mega Garchomp, Mega Excadrill, Mega Golurk, Shadow Rhyperior, and most importantly, Shadow and Primal Groudon are simply better.

Keep in mind that Groudon is still better than the likes of Mega Swampert, Excadrill, Garchomp, and Mamoswine, so the DPS performance isn’t as outclassed as Kyogre!

🔵 Great League

Not applicable

🟡 Ultra League

Groudon is best used in the Master League, and is extremely underwhelming here in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Regardless of whether you use Dragon Tail or Mud Shot, Groudon is one of the most feared Pokémon in the Master League due to how quickly it can hit the opponent with either of its Charged Attacks. In fact, you often can't predict what Groudon is going to hit you with!

Groudon is so effective with this playstyle that it manages to beat more than half of the meta in the (1-1), including Palkia Origin, Mewtwo, Zacian Hero and Crowned Sword, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Zamazenta Crowned Shield, and Marshadow, along with some obvious victims. While Mud Shot is a bit better in both (2-2), gaining Xerneas, Eternatus, Mewtwo, and Zacian Hero, and (0-0), gaining Florges, Primarina, and Lunala, the Dragon Tail version is hardly any different, grabbing Zygarde Complete, Lunala, and Meloetta Aria in (2-2), and Marshadow, Mewtwo, and Palkia Origin in (0-0).

To put it into perspective, Mud Shot may give you a win or two more, but the Dragon Tail version is overall more reliable and flexible in taking the fight to the opponent.

More information

Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
