Trainers,

Groudon, the Ground-type Legendary Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region, is now appearing in Raid Battles around the world! But as always legendaries are for a limited period only, Groudon will only be available until 1:00 p.m. PST on January 15, 2018.

Get Ready to catch the Legendary, Here’s the List of counters which you can use to easily defeat and get an entry in your Pokedex. (We have included an infographic at the end of the post)
Groudon is a Ground type and it has no double weakness, but Groudon raid boss can be empowered by Clear weather.
Groundon Raid Boss CP is found to be 51,969 and it can have max CP of 2,328 (Perfect Level 20).
 | MAX CP (Lvl 20/Lvl 25) | 2328/2910 |
| ATTACK | 270 | |
| DEFENCE | 251 | |
| BUDDY CANDY DISTANCE | 20 KM |
Groudon Raid Counters
| Counters | Quick Move | Charged Move |
| Best Counters | ||
 Exeggutor | Bullet Seed (Grass) | Solar Beam (Grass) |
 Gyarados | Waterfall (Water) | Hydro Pump (Water) |
Picking Groudon’s counters is difficult. Groudon doesn’t have a double weakness, it doesn’t have a glaring flaw.
Analyzing Groudon’s move pool from previous main series Pokemon games, we expect Groudon to have access to the following quick and charge moves:
- Dragon Tail STEEL (quick)
- Mud Slap GROUND (quick)
- Fire Blast FIRE (charge, one bar)
- Solar Beam GRASS (charge, one bar)
- Earthquake GROUND (charge, one bar)
With that in mind, we have created a list of counters on Groudon Moves
